Adam Schein - Luke Leading DPOY

1) Luke Kuechly, middle linebacker, Carolina Panthers

 

I love this cat. He's a born leader and a tackling machine. Kuechly is the heart, soul and pulse of the overachieving Panthers. He's the MVP of the 6-3 squad and the biggest reason why Carolina currently ranks second in both total and scoring defense.

 

In last week's 10-9 statement win at San Francisco, Kuechly led the charge with a game-high 11 tackles, logging a key sack in crunch time. On the season, the spectacular and steady Kuechly has 75 tackles, three impressive picks and five passes defensed.

 

I talked to Kuechly on Monday on my SiriusXM Radio show, "Schein on Sports," following his dominant performance against the 49ers. Kuechly credits current teammates Thomas Davis and Jordan Senn -- as well as former teammates James Anderson and (especially) Jon Beason -- for showing him the ropes as a young player. When I mentioned him as a favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, Kuechly said, "It would be a tremendous honor. For me, it's just one of those things you look back and all the guys that have won the award and it's just awesome. But I just want to concentrate each week on just playing football and doing my job and trying to win games, and the rest will take care of itself."

I think it's consistently wrong how some NFL teams have devalued middle linebacker. Kuechly says it would mean a lot for the position if he won. He currently has my vote.

Kudos for Luke for leading this dominant defense and team. Hopefully he maintains his place on this ranking because it will mean the team will as well. BTW. Schein is still an idiot.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
