“I think he is legitimately in the argument of a J.J. Watt in terms of some of the most exciting young football players in our game,” Tomlin said. “Luke Kuechly is quite simply one of the best in the business.” 

 

he also praised Kelvin Benjamin and Cam Newton:

 

 

 

“There are big wideouts and there are really big wideouts,” Tomlin said of Benjamin,... “This guy is really big. He is going to have a 50 pound or so advantage on just about every defensive back he comes across. He has good body control. He has good, strong hands. He attacks the ball. Cam does an awesome job of locating balls and putting balls in locations that only Benjamin can make the plays. He is an impressive young man.”

 

[Mr. Scot]

Pretty standard coachspeak.

[tondi]

He doesn't want his team to get Ebroned.

just being honest

[UpstatePanther]

Pretty standard coachspeak.

 

yea i agree. just thought i would share. most of us expected the media to be kissing ass at some point, this will just fuel that fire. 

[Chaos]

Tomlin is saying the right things, but behind closed doors I'm sure he's telling his guys that Cam has a bullseye on his ribs.

[PhillyB]

he just wants a position coach gig here in 2015

Oh, I think it's a good post.  Just saying...

[ZeroZeroSeven]

At first, Tomlin was all...

 

But then Rivera was all...

 

Tomlin started to worry...

 

And before he knew it...

 

 

Game over.

Well don't stop, keep whispering sweet nothings in our ear!

[Mother Grabber]

oh shucks...they're so good, we're so bad.  We're just lucky to be on the field.  Blah blah blah...

[LUUUUUKE]

I have a lot if respect for Coach Tomlin. He always keeps it real and doesn't play "the game" with the media or anyone. Great HC imo

[@bobbyagnese]

I like Tomlin.

[Khaki Lackey]

He got a ring early with Cowher's team and since then, he's overseen a steady measurable decline. He's an ok guy when he's not trying to trip opposing players on the field, I guess, but good coach? Not really.

TL;DR - Eff Tomlin
