Official Luke Kuechly sucks thread

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

It's starting to look like that we may need another complete franchise reset TBH. Old guard just isn't gonna get it done at this point.

Don’t agree...we need a leader in the secondary (which may be Jackson when he gets more experience) and some pass rushers. All the other pieces are there.

On the coaching front however you may be spot on.

  I swear would summa you you say what you want to see not what is in front of you. Your biases get in the way and that’s normal. However don’t be afraid when people call you out someone is literally in this thread talking about how cam won’t win if he can’t be the hero. That son of a bitch got to go

Worth noting: Our secondary is coached by Richard Rodgers.

I mean... he ain't wrong people....

in all seriousness, I made this thread in jest as a shot to everyone on here calling for QB1's head due to missing the last 3 throws. 

Luke and this defense has plenty of issues, but I don't actually believe Luke is the problem....he's overcompensating for a poor scheme and a poor supporting cast.

Either way, this defense has a long way to go.

Luke doesn't suck.   But this isn't the same Luke pre-concussions and really don't blame him.    No doubt the front line isn't helping him this year, you can't deny that, but he also wasn't the same last year.    I know he was all-pro and got voted as one of the best and all that but he just wasn't the same even last year.     But even with that, until the DT's start doing something it's hard to point fingers.    I will say, he does seem out of position in coverage quite often though.

But I think we can all agree that Washington isn't that great of a DC.    We should have looked around a bit before just promoting from within.

I think it’s safe to say that Wilks was a great coordinator. Washington has inherited what is essentialy a more talented defense, at minimum equal to last season, and has made them look like absolute trash. However the defense played well all things considered. Take those 2 turnovers away and they held them to 9 points

No one is calling for his head and if you’re then you’re a fuging idiot.  But he has to take the hit on this one just because of the horrible 3 passes at the end. Yes Moore had a shittty day yes our D coordination is god awful.  Yes our defense is playing like poo.  Yes we couldn’t have came back from that deficit without Cam.  But Cam has to know the situation we’re in at all times and know what we need thats the job of QB1 not just sometimes but all the time.   And that situation doesn’t call for two god awful passes into the end zone and one in the flat.  Hey one shot to the end zone ok but then the other two has to be get the first. Then 3 shots at the end zone or hell 4 that matter from inside the 10 yard line with a TO

1. Throw to CMac he was getting hit as he threw the ball.

2. Bad throw and rushed to Funchess. 100% on Cam

3. Jarius Wright was held therefore had no chance at being able to haul that ball in.

But yeah, keep going. 

Why were we even in position to win the game in the fist place? Oh yeah, that's right, QB1.

now go back to your hideout, cockroach.

4 shots? What are you talking about you inbred idiot.

The first down pass was a checkdown to Cmac which set up 2nd and 5.

I feel like Luke is worrying way too much about where everyone else is lined up and what they are doing, when he should focus on being the defensive playmaker that is/has been throughout his career. I get it, there's a lot of new parts on this defense, there's been a lot of coaching turnover, and he's taking it on himself to make sure everyone else is doing their jobs.

There's a reason you have coaches and coordinators and playbooks though, no single player is that good. Luke has been caught in coverage and guessing wrong at the line of scrimmage a lot this season, and I think it's because he's trying to play 7 positions in his head instead of just middle linebacker. 

There's nothing wrong with him folks, he's 27 years old, no major injuries and the concussions didn't make him dumb. If anything he's basically outsmarting himself at this point. 

[Carl Spackler]

Luke is our best defensive coordinator. That shouldn't be his job.

I hate the black people that have to take shots at Luke to cover for Cam’s shortcomings and I hate the white people that have to take shots at Cam to cover for Luke’s shortcomings. They’re both future Hall of Fame players and are the least of our problems, although neither is perfect and neither have been at the top of their games this year.
