Carolina Panthers: Luke Kuechly, linebacker
 
The inside linebacker is one of my favorite players in the league. This is another collision of "best" and "most important." Kuechly's just entering his second season, but he enjoyed a dominant debut, taking home Defensive Rookie of the Year honors (and earning my vote in the process). He's not just a tackling machine; he's a leader who's wise beyond his years.

 
Not a bad choice, but for the purpose of this thread... Is Luke Kuechly more important to this team then Cam Newton?
 
Let me put it this way... If you had to pick between Newton and Kuechly, who would you keep?

It has to be Newton. He single-handedly keeps us in and competitive in every game for the most part. If he goes down, Derek Anderson may perform decently because he is a veteran but Beason (assuming he is back to form) could slide back to the middle in event Luke is injured. Newton also accounts for virtually all of our points scored in one way or another. 

 

I'd say we have a lot more depth at LBer than we do at QB...as I suspect most teams do.

Oh, how they forget. From a perennial 2-14 team before Cam to now a team with high expectation. Might I add, they haven't added a single player of significance on the offensive side since Cam. Now the team is on its way to taking off they're looking for anybody but Cam to give the credit to. This is so laughable and intentionally malicious. And I'm sure if the team starts 0-6 the media will be all over Luke. NOT!

Ditto

Very easy question..

Luke is a gonna be one of the best middle linebackers of this era but to think he is more valuable than Cam is laughable.

If Luke an the defense keep teams between 10 an 17 points this season we still lose a minimum of 9 games with Anderson at the helm...

Keek - he turned the whole defense around last year once he took over the M

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By hepcat · Posted

      I didn't hold my tongue...I was out on Bryce LONG before he was drafted by the Panthers. Bryce's game did not translate well to the NFL. I vividly remember the 2022 Texas vs. Alabama game as the prime example of why Bryce would never translate well to the NFL. That was one of the best defeses Alabama played that season, a big chunk of players from that Texas defense are playing in the NFL now, and Bryce struggled all game. If Quinn Ewers didn't get hurt in that game, Texas would have won and the entire Bryce narrative changes.  If anyone wants a reminder, here's the highlights of the game. He looks like EXACTLY the same QB now. Nothing has changed.

      Did they have a backup QB active who has a "broken thumb' on his throwing hand?  Yeah that's on Dave too. Im not even sure they had another active option or why Dalton isn't on IR yet still.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There is something quite similar though about the losses to the Cardinals and Saints. The blowouts tell me something different - I think the team losses confidence against complete teams rapidly.  That is a coaching aspect, but also young players.  Tbh, I can live with that for now if they beat the teams they're supposed to and give a good fight in other games (as they did). But the Cardinals and Saints games were stories of the offense either giving the game away or being unable to do ... Well, anything. While that is on Canales, too, both those games also featured standout (or truthfully standard) performances from our QB early and sometimes across the entire game. I do think it's hard to evaluate Canales when he has a QB that can't or won't execute an NFL offense for huge stretches or entire games. But there are signs of concern. Still, the very fact we had a win streak being a predictable as we were indicates the team has come along. And most of the team showed up vs the Saints, and I really think it's clear that was an incredibly winnable game with a different QB.
