Navarro Bowman should be drug tested


Cary Kollins

Recommended Posts

This all stems from the year Luke won Defensive player of the year and Bowman had a strong case. Luke and his number were almost identical and one could say that Bowman actually affected more games by forcing four fumbles. As we know Luke won it but Bowman didn't get a single vote even though they both had damn near the same stat line and respective teams had 12+ wins. So it's easy to see why he had questions about that back then. 

2014:

Luke Kuechly: 156 tackles, 2 sacks, 11 passes defensed, 4 INT, 0 QB hits, 8 QB hurries, 14 MT, 61 stops, 7.7 PFF rating

NaVorro Bowman: 145 tackles, 5 sacks, 9 passes defensed, 2 INT, 1 TD, 4 FF, 2 FR, 3 QB hits, 14 QB hurries, 1 BP, 12 MT, 67 stops, 20.0 PFF rating

In 80 games, Navorro Bowman has 508 solo tackles with 168 assisted tackles, for 676 total tackles.  He also has 4 interceptions and 12.5 sacks.  Averages for his career are 8.45 tackles per game, 1 interception per 20 games, and 1 sack per 6.4 games.

In 72 games, Luke Kuechly has 458 solo tackles with 271 assisted tackles, for 729 total tackles.  He also has 13 interceptions and 9 sacks. Averages for his career are 10.125 tackles per game, 1 interception per 5.5 games, and 1 sack every 8 games.

Congrats, Navorro Bowman.  At this point in your respective careers, you have shown you can get to the QB more frequently (but that, of course, could very well be attributed to differences in defensive scheme, as could interceptions for that matter... but tackles?  Tackles are tackles).

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
