Said he's got the toughness and the mean streak like Jack.

good comparison. I loved how Luke got some props from his fellow pass rusher last night too. After being revealed as the #1 player in the league, JJ Watt was asked who he thought should have been in the top 10 with him. And impromptu, first player that came to his mind was Luke Kuechly. I cheered

The fact that people hate Watt on here is disgusting.  Watt is an absolute monster, and dude came from nothing to something.  There is one player I would trade Luke for straight up, and that's Watt.  That's literally it.

Olsen was on the radio yesterday and commented on this out of nowhere (he was not asked). Luke's position is more important to the defense than Watt's. MLB is involved in more plays and cannot really be avoided. He said you can run away from Watt, you can avoid throwing near Revis but you cannot avoid Luke. I would not trade him for any defensive player. I probably wouldn't trade him for any player period since I'm happy with Cam.

That's cool, Watt was ranked number 1 for a reason.  He changes games.  I would trade him for Luke in a heartbeat.

Luke's not as vicious as Lambert.  I think level of play is comparable, as is competitiveness and toughness.  But Jack Lambert was a mean SOB whose style of play would draw lots of flags in today's NFL.  To me, not a good comparison.

Without Luke, our Defense wouldn't be what it is today.  both infront and behind him.  Watt controls his area of the line...nothing else.  He is a foot solider in the army of a defense, Luke is the General.

toughness . yeah

tackling ability yeah

coverage ability yeah

meanstreak?  No.  But todays game is different.

 

I saw Lambert play with the Steelers in the 70s and 80s as part of the steel curtain and outside of mean Joe Greene, he was the most intimidating guy on their defense.  He was an in your face kind of guy who likes to hit and hurt folks.  I would agree with you that their skill sets are similar but Luke is not as mean or intimidating as Lambert.  You are right that the game has changed quite a bit and guys like Lambert would not have been able to play today the way they did back then.  That is why it is hard to compare guys who played in different generations.

Yeah, because the Texans defense besides Watt is nasty or something.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
