Luke Kuechly's memory

[Mr. Scot]

A quote from Andre Smith (via Jourdan Rodrigue)

[Chief Keek]

Dang, that is some amazing retention, five years is quite some time. I can barely remember what I ate for lunch the previous day, let alone something from five years ago. I wonder if it's something specific about the play that stuck out or he just memorizes a ton of the oppositions plays.

[pantherclaw]

Amazing. 

Truly Amazing. And he's still getting better.

[Lumps]

Damn I hope Luke’s health and luck allow him to play at least into his mid-30s but sadly I don’t think that will be the case.

You shut your whore mouth! That's what you do, buddy

[Mr. Scot]

Some guys just have a football mind.

Luke has a quarterback's understanding of offense in a defensive player's body. That's why whenever they do those "Top 100" videos you always see flustered, wide-eyed offensive guys saying stuff like "he was calling out our plays before we even got set"

[Jackofalltrades]

Don’t guess CTE has run its course yet. 

Luke will probably wind up being my all time favorite Panther, he’s close now. He’s damn near a proto-type of the perfect MLB with his intellect, instincts and freakish athletic ability.

Some folks are just hardwired with a particular kind of genius. 

It sure is nice when it's one of your guys.

The closest comparison that comes to mind for me isn't another linebacker, or even a defensive player for that matter.

It's Peyton Manning.

It's such a huge understatement to say how lucky the Panthers were to land this guy. The Capntain America nickname Cam gave him is pretty spot on. Dude is just a freak.

They weren't considered smart by most fans, but coaches rave about the football intelligence of Lawrence Taylor and Randy Moss. I remember Bill Parcells talking about how LT would constantly fall asleep in meetings. Once he tried to embarrass him by waking him up and immediately asking him what his assignment was for the play on the board. LT rattled it off like nothing will still half asleep.

I hear the term "football smart" a lot for guys like that. It makes sense. And "football smart" doesn't necessarily mean stupid in every other area. Although it certainly can.

(I'll take "Guys named Gronkowski" for a hundred, Alex)

Amazing memory.  I can relate to him...  sometimes when I’m on pornhub and older video comes on... I kind of remember play by play.
