Yasinkas Has Us Taking Kuechly

[frash.exe]

Still slower than Kuechly. You think he is faster now after achilles surgery.

jesus fug you make it sound like he's going to look like rich eisen on the field

kuechly beats his time by like 5 hundredths of a second. doesn't make me want to draft him anymore

[MadHatter]

I know, but it's funny sometimes to make unprovoked personal attacks on madhatter and pantherclaw because that's all they've done since they registered, so it's funny to see them blow their top

Don't flatter yourself. I really could care less about what anyone on here thinks...especially someone who posts the mindless dribble that you do.

You are nothing more than comic relief to me.

I mean do you really think Beason is such damaged goods that a top 10 pick needs to be spent on drafting a guy who plays the same position, just to be "sure"

do we need to be that dead set at linebacker before improving any other area on the defense?

[SCPantherFan90]

no, but that's not going to force me to just throw a top ten pick at yet another linebacker and not look back

and ligament surgery has become a lot more advanced since then. so instead of simply replacing him like you want to do lets focus on helping solidify the interior he plays behind so he can have a clearer path to the ball carrier

Ron Edwards is not a legitimate starter on this team. He's just a guy that started in Kansas City briefly that we signed who came in and tore his arm barely a week into training camp. He's also on the wrong side of 30.

go play with your balls

Haha wow!

Your ignorance is hilarious. So, you agree that our LB corp is riddled with severe injuries, but god save us from your wrath if we take one with a top ten pick. You base this on the wishful thinking that medical surgeries have improved recently? If they really did improve as much you wanted them to, then Thomas Davis wouldn't have completely shredded knees. I just hope he'll be able to walk correctly after his career.

And, by saying Ron Edwards is not a starter, are you implying that we intended to start our 3rd round rookie DT's in the first place? Wow

I understand people being uncomfortable that we've drafted LB's early in the draft in recent history, but that DOESN'T make our current situation go away. Like I said earlier, I would love for Cox to be the pick, but if he's gone then it's obvious that Kuechly will have the next biggest impact for our team in 2012.

People are looking for any reason they can to say no, and they can only find one thing: "But he can't get teh sacks! OMG!" ...if you actually looked at his film, he is damn good at getting off blocks and making the play. I forget, what is it that players have to do to get sacks? Oh that's right, they have to get through blockers! Just because he wasn't asked to blitz in college, doesn't mean he can't in the pros, and if that's your only argument for not picking a defender with the potential that Kuechly has, then you are flippin' delusional.

He is faster than Beason BEFORE Beason tore his Achilles. he is likely significantly faster than him now. Very few players have the same explosion and quickness after that injury.

I still think Cox, Coples, Ingram, Gilmore are all better options at 9. However, most of the reasons and stats given by the anti -Kuechly crowd are off base.

Guy is a great LB and would be a good addition to the Panthers.. but still think a few other guys would make a bigger impact.

[frash.exe]

the way some people are arguing for Kuechly makes it sound like he's the only linebacker in the draft

[panthers55]

Again, I do not think its the best pick for us. I do not think that any DT will come in and be successful, I want Coples, but I think that he or Decastro is the safest pick. And to say hes not worth the #9 spot because he has never rushed the passer is moronic.

That is the point. I understand the Cox mania and while I think we need to still give McClain some time and think that Kearse and Neblett are good quality depth, I can see where folks want him. I am one who likes Coples as well. But lets assume that Cox is gone, then unless we go Coples we should go safe which is exactly what Kuechly is. The safest defensive player in the draft. I personally think he is the best as well.

As for blitzing you look at the qualities needed for a good pass rusher and see what the players has along those lines. Speed-Yes, instincts-Yes, strength- yes, elusiveness-yes, technique- yes, strong hands-yes, intangibles- off the chart.

Of course he will be a good blitzer. He has always done everything at the highest level all along the way.

Now you are getting somewhere. I wouldn't mind him around 15 which is where you also put him if you count offensive talent such as DeCastro, Floyd, and even though not for us Tannehill. Around the 15th pick he would be in consideration.

I am not saying he is not worth the 9 pick....just not for us with other needs. Saying he is worth 15, but not worth 9 I donot agree with.

Again you think he will still run a 4.68 with achilles surgery. That is the point most of you kuechly haters refuse to accept the probability not possibility that Beason will be limited for at least one year if not longer. No one has recovered 100% in one years time including Ryan who had the surgery 2 years ago. Please enlighten me as to what great advances have occurred in the last year which makes the prognosis so much better. Believe me I have looked and it isn't there. The biggest advancement has been getting them to move quicker instead of immobilizing it. That helps them recover quicker but has no impact on whether they get back to 100%. Truth is,all athletes after this surgery aren't the same and never will be. It is about how well they can compensate for the changes that occurred.

Those advocating Kuechly have comes to grips with the likely, those who haven't will but by them it will to late for this year. Hopefully the coaching staff are preparing for the worst.

Problem is with the talent after 5..... you can justify drafting the guys 6-15 anywhere bc of the drop off. You can only look at this draft. Luke may be mid round pick in other drafts. Weak top talent after 5 or so...

Exactly. There are 5-6 studs in this draft. Spots 7-25 have little difference.
