Kuechly's run for the recordbooks

With the first game just a little over 72 hours away I am hoping that for the second year in a row, a Panthers rookie sets the NFL on its ear.

The record for tackles in a season belongs to Chris Spielman, 195. He averaged 12.2 total tackles a game in 1994 and believe it or not, had zero sacks on the year.

Patrick Willis holds the rookie record with 174 tackles and 4 sacks, averaging 10.8 per game.

I have a feeling that Luke will be in both of these guy's neighborhoods as we approach our playoff run.

Kudos to all of you that called for this guy before the draft. I wanted Brockers, Poe or Cox but now I feel like we got the steal of the draft.

So, can a guy that had 191 tackles in 12 college games pull off the statistical shocker of the year?

Yes I believe he could. Also send me my Cam Newton Gatorade. <3

Are we all forgetting that the 49ers had an awful team when Willis got the record? I'd rather Kuechly not get the record because not only does this stat not signify that we have a good defense, but because this record could also mean that we have a lousy defense with only one good tackler. DROY is good enough for me.

I can totally agree with what you have said.

But I want the record and a good defensive year. Maybe too much to ask, but I'm asking anyway.

Where'd you get your stats SIGCHI? Last time I checked, tackles are an unofficial stat, so if he broke either record, it wouldn't be "official."

Regardless, I think he's fully capable of breaking either or both this season, he has an instinct for the ball that I've NEVER seen before in Panthers history.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
