what 49er fans are saying

[That49Guy]

Willis is a beast but Kuechly is too. One is the better blitzer and the other is superior in coverage.

 

Luke's a talented kid, but Willis is the best MLB in the league.

[CRA]

Lets please not compare a 2nd year player to a 7 year vet who is already a first ballot HOF'er. Give Luke more time to build his resume before making that claim lol.

Willis is a beast.  He isn't a first ballot HOFer though....

 

He needs to finish his resume before you can say that.  He hasn't put a HOF career in the books yet

[KendrickPanther]

Willis hasn't done anything to make the Hall of Fame. He's made the playoffs twice? Get real.

[CRA]

Luke's a talented kid, but Willis is the best MLB in the league.

Um, Willis isn't a MLB...Willis is an ILB.   

 

Luke is the best MLB arguably in the NFL.  Ray Lewis who played both says MLB was tougher.

[That49Guy]

Considering Luke almost shattered Patrick's tackle record (had he started since week one), was twice as good in coverage over Willis in his rookie campaign and singlehandedly turned our bottom feeder defense (with UDFA secondary and average DTs) into a Top 10 one... eh.

 

Twice as good in coverage when? Patrick Willis was the #1 rated cover ILB in the NFL last year. And Kuechly was not very good in coverage last year. Finished the year with a -1.8 grade and ranked as the 35th best cover ILB in the league.

 

 

Not sure where you are getting this information, but it's way off my man.

Oh, you forgot to mention...

 

6× Pro Bowl (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012)

6× All-Pro (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012)

NFC champion (2012)

AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year (2007)

3× NFL Alumni Linebacker of the Year (2007, 2009, 2010)

And thats in only 6 years in the league.

 

Pwilly will make the HOF barring career ending injury.

I saw them play the seahawks, they did a great job until deshaun foster fumbled!

Willis probably isn't the best LB on his team. Or 2nd best.

[That49Guy]

That's debatable now. NFL.com, ESPN, PFF, etc have him ranked #1 overall. I mean, this is the guy who countered Ryan's, Brees' and Peyton's audibles as a rookie.

 

No they don't.

 

 

PFF has Kiko Alonzo as the #1 ranked cover ILB in the NFL right now, and Sean Lee as the best overal ILB. Willis is ranked 7th (and missed 2 1/2 games, so that ranking would be higher if he played) and Kuechly is ranked 16th. 

 

 

Like I said he's a talented kid, but not on Willis level. Maybe in the future, but not right now.

Charlotte 49ers vs sf 49ers. Who wins?

Sent from my SCH-I545 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Niner Nation (SB Nation) is actually worried about us.

 

I tried to look up that site. I typed "Niner Nation" into google and the first result was a page for the Charlotte 49ers.

 

Conclusion: Panthers win 24-13

I meant ILB.

 

 

Ray Lewis can't even talk in complete sentences, and he also said Russell Wilson is the best young QB in the league because he has a great team.

 

 

Take what Ray Ray says with a grain of salt.

[panfan32]

No they don't.

 

 

PFF has Kiko Alonzo as the #1 ranked cover ILB in the NFL right now, and Sean Lee as the best overal ILB. Willis is ranked 7th (and missed 2 1/2 games, so that ranking would be higher if he played) and Kuechly is ranked 16th. 

 

 

Like I said he's a talented kid, but not on Willis level. Maybe in the future, but not right now.

 

You do understand that in football there is an ILB (Inside Linebacker) that plays in a 3-4 defense, and a MLB (Middle or Mike Linbacker) thats plays in a 4-3. These for all intense and purposes are two very different positions. Willis is no longer an MLB since the switch to a 3-4 defense. Please know what your talking about before you try to discredit any player in the NFL. 

 

I respect your love for your team however.

please beat them....beat them up....beat them down....just beat them.....and as a side bonus...if someone were to say run out of bounds accidentally and accidentally run into that loud mouth sack of crap of a coach on that niner sideline....I wouldn't be overly upset

Take care of business at home, beat the 9ers, and that is 10 wins. Another win over Mia, or Jets and we are the 5 seed and get to play the NFCE Champ. Cool.
