so ill give it to you that David is under-rated but when i look at a class of Brees, Fitzgerald, Vinatieri.  I'd argue Kuechly is that 4th wheel on the shopping cart that just aint quite right

Yeah, you are definitely underrating Kuechly. Again, there was half a decade where Kuechly was the best player at his position in the NFL. That is something Drew Brees (Manning, Brady, Rodgers) Larry Fitzgerald (Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Terrell Owens) or even Adam Vinatieri (Gostkowski & Vanderjagt had better FG% during his career) can't say - although I would put Vinatieri at #1 because of his crazy post-season success. All of those guys are legit HOF'ers, and so is Luke Kuechly.

It's not like Kuechly retired early because he wasn't good enough to keep playing at a high level. The dude retired because he kept getting concussions.

Yeah comparable numbers in tackles per game

Proof of the limitation of stats.

Good take on the topic.

One career pro bowl.

one career first team all pro.

two career second team all pro.

playing in Tampa certainly didn’t help.

seemed like he was a largely unknown among casuals until Tom Brady got here.

It’s close. I don’t think he gets in sadly.

will be up there with Simeon rice as far as robberies. 

No, he was an above average player but, no worthy of the HOF.
