Luke "The Goat" Kuechly

Kuechly is overall better, but Lewis was more feared. That dude hit people like he was trying to kill them. Well, that and the fact that he might shank you in some back alley. I honestly thought Urlacher was the best MLB of that period. That guy was a true freak. Dude was the size of a weak side 4-3 DE and ran like a strong safety.

Luke is already at a HoF level , I don't think we'd have to win a SB either for him to get in. Probably if he plays till he's 29 or 30 at a simular level and stays healthy, that's all he'd need.

Cam's another case though. There's a case for it just from him breaking so many records that combine rushing and passing stats for a QB . So far though his standout seasons are mainly  his rookie season and a MVP 2015 season . He probably needs more . If he just continues at the same pace and wins a SB that's probably good enough. 

I think if Greg played with Cam his entire career from the start (like if he was magically the same age and drafted in the 2011 class as Cam was) Greg would have Tony Gonzalez type numbers and probably be there too. But then again he's posted 3 1000 yard season in a row which surprisingly no TE has ever done. If he does something like post 5 or 6 1000 seasons in a row that could get him in the discussion 

Peppers should be a shoe in if he retired tomorrow. One of the best DEs since the year 2000.

    • See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team.  Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here.  Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did.  What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers.  But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.   
    • I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S.  I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom  LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--  
    • If he hit the jugs machine, X is going to beast. He got open a lot. He just didn't bring it in consistently.
