During the season, it'll be player evaluation and then advance scouting stuff. So if we play a team next week, we've got to get everything set up and ready to go, so when the coaches come in on Monday, they're not starting from square one," Kuechly said

So he wil be scouting upcoming teams for the coaches, sounds right up his alley

Bet he's watching film at this moment

Wouldn't surprise me if he already was by the time they announced it.

You pretty much had to figure this was coming when the team announced it "might" happen.

They were probably just working out the contract details.

In his retirement announcement video, Luke said “some of my favorite memories are from this linebacker room, in the locker room and on the bus.”

 

To me it really speaks how professional and serious Luke took his job. That’s the difference between just another guy and a HOFer. If Luke even puts half the effort into scouting as he did as a player he’d be a damn good one. If anything from watching Luke the past 8 years, anything less than perfect is unacceptable for Kuechly. We’re fortunate as a fan base to have rooted and cheered for such a stand up guy.

He will be scouting upcoming teams and player evaluations.  This is more in line with coaching than GM duties

The article actually points up the differences. His evaluations are going to be more personnel focused than scheme focused.

There will be a few differences in what Kuechly will be looking for on film in his new gig. As a player, his studying mostly focused on trying to dissect an upcoming opponent's possible game plan.

"You were always looking at schemes and tendencies and where you think a team is going to attack you on the defensive side of the ball," Kuechly said.

And now …

"I think it'll be different in the sense that we're not necessarily looking for scheme as we are players," Kuechly continued. "Are the players good? What's their skillset? What are they good at? What are they not good at?

"Say we're looking at a guy like Christian (McCaffrey). It's like, 'All right guys, he's really explosive, he's dangerous in the open field, he catches the ball extremely well out of the backfield, he's a matchup problem for linebackers.' I think it's going to be more like that."

It's the same kind of thing that a Director of Pro Personnel does.

Also worth mentioning, this quote:

This role could be the first step on a front office ladder for Kuechly. But he's not yet ready to commit that kind of climb.

"I've never really done anything like this, so I'm just going to take it a day at a time and see what I think," Kuechly said. "I think it'll be fun. It's still going to be football. It's still going to be around good people. That's what matters."

People have been ready to offer Peyton Manning a GM job with no prior scouting experience. Heck, the 49ers did exactly that with John Lynch.

But Luke? He's not thinking of this as a stepping stone. I'm sure he'll be happy to work his way up and earn any promotions he gets without expecting things to be handed to him.

Gotta respect that.

      Grades are in; how did Panthers do in this years draft

      By Newtcase · Posted

      This was a complete poo show, which is just my opinion of course.  However, this opinion will become fact in a few months and the kool aid drinkers will act like blind squirrels find acorns.  We did nothing to help ourselves in the draft. A first round WR with FOUR dud years in college.  Yeah he’ll be a difference maker against pros with BY at QB.  Dude has heavy feet out the gate which isn’t what we need. An injured RB that will take three years to hold Chubba’s jock. Sanders might be the best pick of our draft.  But only because we’re awful at the position and BY should be a TE friendly QB.  Too bad he can’t catch and block because we need both. Anything good after that would be a happy accident.  The Panthers drafted with the same mentality they’ve had for years.  Buy cheap and hope for value.  It stinks of someone who treats a football team like the stock market, trying to outsmart the next guy and make an easy profit. The only real fix here is coaching up players with extraordinary physical attributes, that’s the NFL.  Instead we try to draft “impact” players with marginal and even questionable physical attributes in the name of value.  My only real hope this season is that we could find a rudder on the coaching side and establish some consistency somewhere in the org.  This reeks of a David Tepper influenced draft though. Take a receipt, I’ll be here to happily take my medicine should our merry band of clowns accidentally got something right.
