Panthers Apparently "love" Luke Kuechly

[panthers55]

That's a stupid opinion. You have no F'n clue what any DLmen in this draft will do this year.

If people drafted by your opinion no Dlmen would be drafted 1st round.

Every year this is debated and without fail veteran linemen will tell you that even when a rookie comes in who is much stronger and quicker than they are, they can schooled them until they learn better hand and leverage techniques. By game 8 some get a clue but most need to learn how to play the position when they are no longer bigger and stronger than the guys they face. Teams draft guys for the present but also for the future. Most coaches and GMs know that linemen need time to develop. Fans seem to be the ones with little clue.

Hosley, Johnson and Robinson could start day 1 on this team. Calling them nickle backs is just your Opinion.

It's not my opinion it's the opinion of others including pro scouts that suggest that their 5-10, 178 lb. frame won't stand a chance against the likes of Vincent Jackson and Julio Jones. Personally, I would take Brandon Hogan over both of the players mentioned above.

By the way, I didn't mention Johnson because you are right; Johnson is not a nickelback. However, Johnson forty time of 4.6 tells me that he won't be able to keep up with the likes of Michael Floyd, Justin Blackmon, Kendall Wright, Rueben Randle, and Stephen Hill.

On top of that Trumaine Johnson has only played against ONE player that may even get drafted in Elvis Akpla and he got burned for 6 receptions, 113 yards, and 1 touchdown.

All I am asking you to do is do a little research.

I don't understand how improving our DL improves our linebackers, but improving our LBs doesn't improve our DL.

Name me how many team have a great LB core but a sorry Dline. And I'll name great Dline with sorry LB groups.

I'll start

Superbowl Champion NY Giants

your turn

I still find it funny people have such a strong belief that the Panthers will take LB in the first round when there are much more pressing needs that can be filled by extremely capable players. Kuechly will not be a Panther at 9.

There is no need that is more pressing than linebacker, none. We have potential starters at every other position and nowhere else do we have starters with potential career ending injuries.

No I think adding a talent like Fletcher Cox to CJ, Hardy, and Edwards will improve our Dline. Your Opinion is he's just another DT.

I think he's a special talent and none of you will change my opinion on that.

He had a great Combine to match his great game tape. Played in the best league in college against the best competition and was voted the best DT 4 times.

Fletcher Cox is probably going to be a good player. Not right away, and his value does not exceed Kuechly's at 9. Period.

If we pick him at 9, I won't be mad. I've said I really like him. But I don't think he is a better overall defensive football player than Kuechly.

[koolkatluke]

Let me spell it out for you. If Beason and Davis cannot go. We will be starting Jordan Senn, James Anderson and Kenny Olatolu at Linebacker. I don't give a poo how good your front 4 is, that is awful.

We at least have some potential guys on the d-line. There is no depth at all at linebacker.

You can say the same for any position on this team. This is a stupid argument stop while you can.

you make it seem as if there's no reason to believe that Davis and Beason won't be 100%.

This is a stupid argument stop while you can.

My argument has validity. You're just dense, and unaccepting.

We may not have the best depth across the board, but we at least have capable guys at other positions. There is no depth at all behind Beason and Davis right now. None.

That's a stupid opinion. You have no F'n clue what any DLmen in this draft will do this year.

If people drafted by your opinion no Dlmen would be drafted 1st round.

DTs rarely make an impact year one. Especially ones of this caliber coming out.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'm just going to go out and say that defensive tackle is a pressing need but if we are unable to trade down then I don't think Cox should be the pick.

To be honest only three players would not be considered a reach at #9 and they are Claiborne (if he falls), Coples, and Kuechly.

Again that's your fuging opinion when you have facts to backed that up like Links then we can talk?

So much faith in a 4th round guy because some experts said he would be a 1st round pick if he wasn't a dumb ass.

You can say the same for any position on this team. This is a stupid argument stop while you can.

Charles Johnson, Gamble, etc aren't coming off major injuries. So it is silly to act as if our LB corp shouldnt be viewed differently

[koolkatluke]

you make it seem as if there's no reason to believe that Davis and Beason won't be 100%.

This is a stupid argument stop while you can.

Then let's draft a whole LB core because there is no way Beast will be back.

Great point, if Dareus can't make a significant impact in his first year, how is Cox, Brockers, or Poe supposed to make an impact?
