Kuechly needs a couple of ints or ffs to seal the deal. If we started Kuechly in the middle from the beginning, and kept him on the field from the beginning, Keek would have had over 200 tackles, and more turnovers. Thanks again for sabotaging the team Rivera.

The fact that Rivera limited his snaps the first 4 games is mind boggling.

He'll definitely be in consideration, but realistically I'm not sure if he has made enough game-changing plays or not. Us who have watched every down this season, know he has made some fantastic, momentum-changing plays, but the people who vote probably haven't watched every down like we have. And the first four weeks, although not his fault, won't be a crutch for the voting.

Remember he had a good name, resume, and reputation going into the draft and into the season. A lot of coaches, scouts, experts respect this kid. That will help him a lot. Not just that, all they have to do is go back and watch the Falcons game yesterday. How he played cat and mouse with Matt Ryan the whole game. People were crying all over how Vilma and Manning were going at it audibling plays in the Super Bowl. What Kuechly did with Matt Ryan was just as spectacular to watch. And that's coming from a rookie MLB.

I don't think it'll hurt him much if he doesn't get more turnovers. If he reaches 160tackles? Which I think it'll really happen, thats going to seal it for him.

Patrick Wiilis and Brian Cushing both won DROY. They had more turnovers and sacks than Kuechly but neither of them even came close to having the tackles Kuechly going to have.

Luke Kuechly as of right now: 130 tackles, 1sack, 1int

Demeco Ryans 2006: 125 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1FF, 1int

Patrick Willis 2007: 135 tackles, 4sacks, 2FF

Brian Cushing 2011: 76 tackles, 4sacks, 2FF, 2 ints

You don't have to sell him to me, he has my vote. After this odd season, nothing will surprise me including Luke gettin jobbed for DROY.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
