I really think that is going to be a strength with him. He was covering a lot today in the passing drills and for the most part kept up with the TE's. Can you imagine, covering TE's a strength of the Panthers? I like.

i saw someone in here say they expected keuchly to be second in in sacks this year, but i'm not sure why you'd want to take him out of coverage. i'm sure he'll be a part of more blitzing and rushing the passer than he was in college, but i think they'll probably tend to keep him in midfield to deal with what goes on there and free up other guys to cause mayhem in the backfield. he's pretty much the ultimate security valve. he makes it safe for the others to take part in stunts.

This was the #2 best quality of him during all draft coverage behind his tackling abilities.

I'm not surprised, but at the same token... Did not expect him to learn and fit in this quickly. This dude seems legit!

Also, a tidbit that I think that's being overlooked... He did 10 push ups today when he missed a pick. Usually only Elite athletes that expect to make those kind of plays punish themselves like that. He's not doing it for show or to gain respect. It's honestly who he is. Beason does it as well.

Very likely that my next jersey will be a Keuchly.

Really like what I am hearing about Luke; the force is with him.

If he can contain the likes of the elite TEs in this league and be a reliable sideline to sideline tackling machine every Sunday, this defense will turn around quick assuming the defensive front four have made progress from last season.

Can't wait to see this kid suited up come week 1.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
