Could Luke Kuechly Win Comeback Player Of The Year?

Recommended Posts

After suffering a devastating concussion at the hands of the Taints, the Panthers defense was left without its best defender and held vulnerable during its last stretch. Offenses took advantage of Kuechly not being there, and attacked our weakest points.

However, this year, Kuechly's back. And I'm sure he's itching to get his hands on someone. 

The comeback player of the year award usually goes to the player who performs amazing after undergoing some undesired situation in the past year. Luke Kuechly would definitely be a name in contention.

So, what do you think? Is it feasible?

I think first of all he would have needed to be out for the entire year. 

Also there was never a performance drop off, he was just out on concussion protocol for half the season roughly. 

 

And our MLB play didn't decline that much.  AJ Klein did not play poorly.  It's just he is not Luke.

Klein was not good last year. Was solid first 4 weeks of '15 but last year got benched for both Mayo and Shaq at MLB.

 

And he would not have to be out the entire year to win comeback player of the year.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
