OT: Luke Kuechly Retires

[Scrape into the C Gap]

Will never forget how he singlehandedly ruined Jacory Harris at Dolphin Stadium. He was the best player on the field by a mile, it was like watching Lawrence Taylor with better coverage skills and all I could think was, Boston f’in College?

 

[SWFLHurricane]

No, just seriously overrated. Bucs then-HC Ray Perkins coached McCants at Bama so...

You might be thinking of Bosworth.

Boz was a Bad MFer at OU....Anyone who says differently is being Disingenuous....100% Bad ***....

Concussions would be my guess and I'm not reading the article...

No hall of fame but **** close

Crazy. Hes a for sure Hall of Famer. Made all pro 7 out of 8 seasons. 5 times first team 2 times 2nd team. Won a Dpoy and led the league in tackles twice. Thats a Hof resume easy

 

[Canes Brotherhood]

He made millions and guy wants to live a long life. You’re going to start to see this more often when guys get their 2nd contract.

No nope nope.. 7 seasons isn't enough.. go look at some of the linebackers .. in the hall recently... Nope

Dudes starting to value their body and life after football more. He’s had plenty concussions and other injuries. Def understand his decision. Wonder how permanent it is tho

Also money escalated to point if you are smart you basically get fuvk you money and can walk away clean.. without looking back..

Back in day, they werent seeing "chickens" like they are now..

 

[Empirical Cane]

Wasn't McCants the overrated dude on steroids?

Tony Mandarich.

 

[Cane4L]

I remember that pick that he almost took back to the crib against us. Heck of a player. Enjoy your retirement, you deserve it.

 

[yessirking]

Whenever these guys with a history of concussions make a surprise retirement announcement it makes me think they are already experiencing some level of side effects and dont want to make things worse

 

[Awsi Dooger]

Still have nightmares of what he did to us lol. Never seen a player make every play on defense like that.

Probably the best defensive performance I've ever seen live against the Canes. I had a perfect angle for that interception, how he saw and anticipated everything then finished it off like he was in a rage

 

[CaneandAbel]

No nope nope.. 7 seasons isn't enough.. go look at some of the linebackers .. in the hall recently... Nope

Luke has a better resume than Urlacher in 4 less seasons

 

[Macca21]

As a fellow BC grad, I loved watching him play. However, I always though he was heading to a future of CTE. I hope he got out in time.

When did you graduate?

Luke is 100% a lock for the hall. I can't stand the Panthers but that dude was a monster. No brainer.

 

[jw410]

I'll disagree great player though.. I just think a safety like Urlacher becoming a full time Mike and then becoming a HOF is crazy!

 

[Fletch]

Guaranteed Hall of Fame, Not even an argument.

 

[1mg of Epi]

Isn’t This is the dude w cancer?

 

[CINCYCANESFAN]

Went to same high school super nice guy. **** of player.

What part of town are you from, I graduated from Fairfield

 

[CINCYCANESFAN]

Do you live in Cincinnati?

He's from Princeton school district and he should've went there.

How many other LBs have 5x fiest team all pro, 7x all pro on resume? How many years did they play?
