Panthers Apparently "love" Luke Kuechly

[panthers55]

Your boy said "lack of action" no matter how you feel about them signing them was a action for that position.

Signing special team players who happen to be classified as LBs and Applewhite who is used as a DE equates to no real action to update our linebacker corps.

[koolkatluke]

The best LB in the country...

Well right now Cox is consider the Best DT in the draft,

[panthers55]

So being the best LB in the (suckass) ACC is better then being the Best DT in (7time champion and best league in college) SEC?

No, being the best linebacker in the country is better than a DT in a less than dominant class of guys.

Well right now Cox is consider the Best DT in the draft,

That's not unanimous.

Kuechly is clearly unanimous.

[panthers55]

Well right now Cox is consider the Best DT in the draft,

In a class of guys without any dominant players like a Suh.

So they won't be used as back-ups at all right?? They are just LB by name they can't play LB you're right.

Again I ask who were the Giant's LB's.

[Kurb]

What the hell is Kurb sad for ?

I don't like the pick.

I would prefer a later round LB'er for backing up.

If we did not resign Davis I would be a tiny bit more comfortable.

He reminds me of a Curry/AJHawk/DanConnor kinda "cant' miss" guy.

So you want a guy that can help on our Sub package defense then a guy who can help our BASE and Sub package defense?

I remember early in the season before our d was dismantled by injuries we ran some crazy packages. Later in the year it seems like that faded because we didnt have the right bodies to do it effectively, part of the reason our d sucked. We couldnt do what we wanted. I believe our d is headed in that direction, Ingram fits that mold better than cox.

[koolkatluke]

No, being the best linebacker in the country is better than a DT in a less than dominant class of guys.

Yeah because there will be 5 4-3 lb drafted in the 1st round right?

No but there might be 5 Dt drafted but yes this is a weak year for DT. That's why Devon still is rated to go in the late 20'.

[koolkatluke]

In a class of guys without any dominant players like a Suh.

You keep talking about this class but 5-6 DT might be gone in the 1st round. How the hell could it be a weak class.

[XClown1986]

I will say that I do like Fletcher Cox a lot. I personally do think he is the best DT in the draft but if I'm picking between him and Kuechly, I would have to take Kuechly. He would be higher on the board easily.

[XClown1986]

You keep talking about this class but 5-6 DT might be gone in the 1st round. How the hell could it be a weak class.

It's a deep class but doesn't have a clear cut front runner or couple of guys set for sure to go in the top ten. It's weak at the top.

[panthers55]

You said lack of action at that position. Signing or tendering 4LB really goes against that statment.

Are you serious???

Edwards at best is a 2 down run stuffer and Shirley did a OK job but dude was looking for a Job most of the season.

Marcel Darius says Hi.

You clearly don't have a clue if you think Edwards won't be a three down DT. Go back and look at his body of work. He has been in the league long enough to prove his value.

Shirley did a good job and likely will only get better with playing time. He just needed a chance to show what he could do.

So Rivera says he has no problem with our DTs and it wasn't a need. What makes you think you know more than he does.

Do you know what your talking about Cox can play all the dLine position in either a 3-4 or 4-3 Ingram can't.
