Kuechly has 16 tackles for loss so far, 2nd in the league behind Donald who has 20. Just came across this stat which surprised me considered how much his play has been criticized this year. There isn't even another 4-3 LB in the top 10.

People expect him to be omnipresent and are looking for any reason they can to explain our defense underperforming. Sure he’s not pulling down 6 interceptions this season but he’s not the one who’s fallen off and sure as hell isnt to blame for this defenses’ woes.

He's still the best linebacker in the league. and its not even close

People are slurping over Wagner this year and even in a "down" year for Luke he still has more tackles, TFL, sacks and the same number of interceptions. It's laughable that this is even a discussion 

Not this year. Homer glasses are on.

Wagner has been hands down the best LB in the league this year. Luke earlier in the year was misdiagnosing plays, missing tackles, missing reads, and overall trying to do too much.

I think the majority of it had to do with Washington, as he has looked much better recently. He's definitely looked more like Luke the past few weeks, but for a while there I was surprised and concerned.

That's because most people on here don't know poo about football.

They don't even watch it to even begin to know it. Just watch the Panthers actually thinking we will win every game by several TDs and blame the refs for every loss. When you actually watch football you see that the refs usually fug up all the time in all the games.

He's the same player he has always been, he uses his film watching and instincts with a wicked first step to disrupt plays. When he's right (which he is most of the time) he gets to ball near the Los. When he guesses wrong the team gets gashed because a bunch of players aren't fitting their gap responsibility

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
