Rivera: "AJ Klien is Kuechly 2.0."

[Guest FredLane4Ever]

Anyone who reads more into this than positive connotations is a worthless waste of oxygen.

[rayzor]

yeah, don't read too much into it. klein is keek-lite, or keek-like.  lot's of similar traits....speed, smarts, tackling proficiency, strength. very good LB...and he's a back up. he and chase are probably good enough to start on many teams and they are the second string here.

[Panthro]

It sounds like he is Chase Blackburn 2.0

It sounds like he is Chase Blackburn 2.0

could be.

 

or dan connor 2.0

[countryboi]

so AJ klien is so much like Kuechly I am going let him rott on the bench for the start of the regular season

[carolina-chuck]

I better see Klein in the DROY talk then. =)

[Captain Morgan]

well Luke was so good when he first came out he was Luke .3.  So saying Klein is Luke .2 is pretty high praise.

Chase Blackburn is better than Dan Conner.

[vorbis]

rewatched the game last night - klein looked absolutely fantastic. he is a force to be reckoned with in the running game.  panthers haven't had a LB with his type of block-shedding ability aside from maybe thomas davis in a long time.  he can absolutely be a na'il diggs type player.

I wouldn't be surprised to see our linebacking core transform into Luke Kuechly and two guys in a few years

[rayzor]

Chase Blackburn is better than Dan Conner.

yes, hence the 2.0 part.

 

2.0 is usually better than 1.0, isn't it? at least it's supposed to be an upgrade.

Kirk Cousins of Carolina. Trade bait

AJ will probally be starting next season.. TD and Beason are on their last legs oftheir career.

Lber and RBs are typically a high churn position... So no trade son!

[Cary Kollins]

oh yea and AJ is also white..just like kuechly!!

Haven't seen much of Beason lately but barring a precipitous decline or another huge injury (always possibly for any player),TD is far from on the last leg of his career.
