This might actually be a better option for him than coaching.

Star players frequently transition poorly into coaching because they can't pass along what made them special. And sometimes it's hard for them to accept that not everyone has the gifts they do (hence why Steve Smith would be a poor coach...and he knows it).

Luke's greatest strength was his dedication to film study, analysis and diagnosis. Mind you, that'd certainly serve him well as a DC, but perhaps even more so as a personnel guy.

I'm intrigued.

Luke is known to be a huge college FB guy. He knows everything going on in that world. This sounds like a good fit.

I think Luke could watch three minutes of a Pee Wee game and figure out each player's strengths and weaknesses while also diagnosing the coach's tendencies.

He’d also tell you what play the coach will be running on third down, two possessions from now. The dude was unparalleled in his preparation and subsequent execution.

No doubt.

It'll be very interesting to see what career path he takes.

Luke just texted me and said this post of yours was concise but lacked elaboration. He said it leaned too far to the strong side of the Pee Wee analogy and probably overran the greater overall analogy play. He also said this went against your tendencies as a poster.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
