In another thread, the topic strayed to a discussion of our current crop of linebackers, and it got me thinking about how many truly good ones we've had over the years. Guys like Kevin Greene, Beason, Davis, and now Kuechly. There are a whole lot of others that could get a nod too. So just fro grins, tell us who your favorite is from among all the stellar ones that have worn the Panthers colors over the years since 1995, and give a brief reason why.

For me, it's still Kevin Greene, because he had a pure nastiness to his game that I've always loved. But I have to admit, Thomas Davis is right up there too, just because of his tenacity, smarts, hard hits, and leadership.

And yes, I think Kuechly is going to be a monster that might be the best we've ever had one day.

I like the rookie Kuechly. He's given us a much needed spark in run stopping. I also think Thomas Davis has been an unsung hero this year.

People do tend to forget about Davis.

I'd add that Anderson is a solid LB and would start on most NFL teams.

Davis solely on his tenacity and coming back from 3 ACLs and playin at the level he is... My heart jumped when I saw him still on the ground after hoppin over the pile yesterday... "What a shitass way for a 4th.." is the thought that went through my head....

Greene takes a close 2nd, Keuchly will prol'ly take it after a few more games.... Too many good choices...

Pie above for Witherspoon, forgot about him, loved that guy in a Panther uni... Fields too was no joke...

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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
