Kuechly praises Poe, essentially gives nod over Star

The Star blasphemy in this thread smh 

Star left because he got paid big money somewhere else. He wasn’t a miss lol. He was a very important cog on a perennial league-best front seven. 

With the salary cap you can’t pay every player.  Hell, it was Brandon Beane and sean McDermott that signed Star to 5 years $50 million. They know him as well as anyone.

That said, awesome we got Poe.

Star was overpaid. His effectiveness gradually decreased as opposed to improving. By the time he exited here, he was no where near a top DT in the league. That's just the truth of the matter.  And my thing is, he probably reached his ceiling when he first entered the league. I suspect that's as good as it gets. We can do better, and we did, for less money at that.

I agree we upgraded somehow for cheaper than Star. I chalk it up to a damn miracle.

plug a guy like Dontari in and you don’t miss a beat. Dontari’s big, he’s physical, he takes up space. But he’s also very athletic. He’s nimble on his feet, he moves really well. For as big as he is, it’s pretty interesting."

Yeah, it's a pretty big stretch to suggest Luke is implying anything here.

"Didn't miss a beat" doesn't mean "upgrade".

Read the above bolded part and tell me thst doesn't imply an upgrade.

Not really. It just sounds like he's describing Poe's strengths. No comparison needed.

More to the point though, consider the source. Does Luke Kuechly really seem like the type of guy who'd ever talk down about a former teammate?

Pep, KK, Poe, Addison 

Shaq, Luke, Davis

Ehh okay I wouldn't really say Shaq can "really rush the passer" with his 3 career sacks. And getting to the passer is the only area Luke doesn't excel at. TD I can see.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
