    As a Panthers fan, the thing that I LOVED about Kuechley was that there was no doubt that he cared. Many times saw him be absolutely pissed that his team gave up a touchdown.
    I was lucky to get to watch Luke and Cam for 8 seasons, they were fun to watch and cared about the outcomes 100%

    That ‘15-16 panthers team is one of the top 5 all time greatest. Luke, TD, Shaq T, Norman, Peanut Tillman, Roman Harper, Greg Olson, Cam, Ted Ginn, Jared Allen, Trai Turner, Ryan Khalil, Michael Oher, J Stew. Put up 500 points in the season, went 15-1. It was a hell of a team to watch. It made that super bowl loss that much worse.

    Luke could absolutely have been considered one of the best LB ever, had he kept playing. It’s obviously a tall order, and it would’ve required a SB, but he was just next level cerebral defensive player. Honestly, probably more skillful and tactical than even Ray Lewis.

Never whining about someone making more money and not playing through his contract. He just shut up and played and was one of the best ever.

      Everyone exaggerates a little bit when it comes to physical attributes in athletics. But it is fair to have him on the Mt Rushmore for MLBs. It'd be very tough to find a better 8 year run than Kuechly's and keep in mind that teams would develop their game plans to try and minimalize his effect on the game.
