Kuechly may be the best defensive player on the team already.

He moves through traffic like a Barry Sanders LB monster.

He's like a liquid brick. Nearly every play I tried to locate Keuchly pre snap - he'd then disappear into a pile of linemen and be hanging onto the ball carrier a half second later.

For those bitching about him hitting big - he hits a hell of a lot harder than we realize. You gotta remember at 6-3 245 he's ALOT bigger than he looks and it one of the larger LBs in the league. When he gets some room to use his top speed on some pitches, screen or dump off passes your gonna see him level some people. you gotta remember when weaving through traffic like he did all game he really can't get more than one step of momentum - so he wraps up and tugs at the ball like he should.

Keuchly's blitzing ability isn't really known, he wasn't asked to do it in college. That doesn't mean that he can't. He has the tools to be a dominant blitzer for sure.

He did a good job of it earlier in the pre-season and he's been picking Gross' brain about it in training camp too.

At BC he was simply asked to make every tackle - their DC didn't want to risk running him out of the play by blitzing him.

      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.
