Let me start this by saying Luke Kuechly is a very good football player. I was shocked to learn he won DPOY. During a thread this season I said that he might be the 4th best MLB we have seen in a month. I was referring to both of the 49ers mlb's and the rookie from the bills. Kuechly is around the ball and a leader on the team, but in my opinion he is not Elite. I can actually see Lavonte winning DPOY someday because he can absolutely take over a game like others that have won the award. Just curious what everyone's thoughts were?

He aint no Derrick Brooks thats for sure :P
I'd rather have him than Barron.But he is in no way deserving of that award.
In the eyes of Bucs fans he is. In their eyes he's the worst LB in the league and does nothing but jump on the pile after a tackle is made. To answer the question, no. He's a baller. He plays the MLB position at arguably the highest level in the league in 4-3 defenses. I don't know why people compare him to LaVonte David, who plays an entirely different position. If that's the case then compare him to Dekoda Watson as well and ask why they don't have similar numbers.
Who are you and why are you defending Kuechly so much? Multiple questionable calls in his favor are my beef. Very good player. But Dpoy? No, he's not the worst ever, but he's not the best either.

I'm not defending him. I'm just calling it like it is. He's not overrated. I also never said he was the best ever...But Bucs fans clearly don't like the guy because of who he plays for. It's not any mystery as to why the casual Buc fan says he's overrated.
One can seriously debate whether he is even the best at his position, let alone Dpoy. And it's not just the team. More to it than that.

Please. It's the team. Plain and simple. As well as the fact that he gets recognition, more recognition than David who plays a different position.
Congrats Luke. You are a baller. Oh well, we took a Safety in the top 10 instead that can't cover.

Bootz is an idiot that was banned from another Bucs board and found his way over here. I know to not take him seriously.
Mike Williams isn't the only Buc trying to become a rapper.
Kuechly is a media darling, plain and simple. A good solid football player, but in my mind, not gonna ever be elite on the field.

Boots you are correct, Kuechly does not deserve DPOY. He is average. You woke me up, thank you
Not taking anything away from Kuechly. He is a very good player, plays with a high motor and hustles all over the field,( I'd be happy to have him as a Buc) but there is no doubt that he is the MOST over hyped player in the league. DPOY? What a joke. A DPOY needs to be a game changer, making impact plays not a solid, very good player.
Players who deserved DPOY over Kuechly:Navarro BowmanRobert QuinnLavonte DavidRichard ShermanKuechly is a very very good MLB. He was definitely NOT DPOY. What a joke.
