Of course you can't compare a college linebacker, no matter how good, to some of the great middle linebackers in the NFL. Just like you couldn't compare Newton to Brady or Manning coming out of college. But if you look at where each of those guys were at coming out of college to where Kuechly is at the same point in time, he compared very favorably. Does that mean he will be an All-pro linebacker in the NFL? Much too early to tell. But if you have to pick someone in the first round with great potential and a super pedigree, then you have to look no further,

I won't cry if we get Luke. I would rather trade down if the possibility arises, but Luke is a decent pick when looking at the overall picture (but so is Brockers, Cox, and maybe some others). I will just keep realistic expectations.

..... If they made a Keuchly Fathead, at least one would be sold

Truth is that when this all started I was a DT or DE guy in the draft. But I warmed up to Kuechly as I realized that issues with Beason and Davis. Still though I am not as big a fan boy as it appears. I just enjoy busting the Kuechly detractors as much as Panthro enjoys tweaking the kuechly fans. The reality is that I am still not convinced that we won't go DE in the first and think we will likely trade back if we can. Still It does pass the time while we wait for the draft.

So I wiil be glad to keep up the debate but honestly won't miss any sleep if we go in a totally different direction like CB. After all, we have more than 1 or 2 holes on this team at present and need a fantastic draft as well as more pickups in free agency in order to compete next year.

I would draft him for his name alone

The original post was intended to bash Luke. Bashing of him is silly.

would have been silly to bash Beason back when he was coming out. Future not known. But people bashed the Beason pick back then as well....

I don't think it's really about Keuchly's abilities, because no one really knows. I think it's more of a backlash due to Kuechly Kraziness

What? You didn't like the Darth Vader reference? That should be appreciated by all.

Anyone who thinks that wasn't a specific jab at Kuechly doesn't know how Panthro thinks.

Panthro's post are more like tickle torture than water boarding.

No it isn't. This is an ongoing debate by someone who admits in his sig that he likes to argue. He fancies himself as a great debater so this is simply one more chapter in what will continue until the draft and likely beyond. If we pick Kuechly it will just devolve into past mistakes, Hurney sucks, and more of the same.

We've all had our moments, P55. Panthro isn't so special. On some level, at some times, we are all pots calling the kettle black. Sometimes it just comes down to who is more clever at the craft...Especially at this time of the year. It can become highly entertaining.
