Bucky Brooks: Panthers are the only team with two players in the Top 10 for cornerstones of a Franchise.

Sort of a technicality.  Stew missed it by what, 13 yards or something like that?   If Stew had played a few more snaps in the regular season he would have been there.

Thanks- Saved me the trouble of posting that.

With all due respect to Brady (he's an all-time great no matter what you may think of him), he's 38 years old.  He's no longer a franchise cornerstone player.  You can't build a franchise around a 38 year old player.  You can build a TEAM around that guy, but not a franchise.

The top 4 franchise cornerstones in the league right now are:

Cam, Luck, Wilson, and Rodgers and Rodgers is about to age out of that category himself.  

With all due respect to Watt, Luke and others, sorry... the only true franchise cornerstones are young, elite QBs.  You can't build a franchise around any other player.  The Texans have been flailing around for years despite having one of the most dominating individual defenders the league has ever seen.  Why?  Because they don't have a QB.

That, and Gronk is a meathead.

I know.......  he has Gronk at #7......and Brady at #3.

I think having guys on opposite sides of the ball is better and makes for a more balanced team. Couple that with the age of Luke and Cam shows that the balance and can be sustained is a big plus.

Even more than that we have the #1 Offensive guy and the #2 Defensive guy! And seeing how I think JJ Watt is overrated in my mind we have #1 on both sides of the ball!

JJ Watt makes players around him worse by taking the other defensive lineman out of their best positions when he chooses where he's going to rush from. And as we showed he can be game planned for and negated. Whereas Luke clearly and significantly makes the players around him better.

But what @Pox 08 was saying is that the title of the thread is incorrect.
