What's the biggest difference between Sean Lee & Luke Kuechly?

[PJTHEDOORS]

Anyone taking Lee over Luke is simply a Dallas homer.
It's absurd to even consider.

People are talking about a healthy Lee in a dreamworld. Nothing wrong with that.

Tackles are not an official NFL statistic and cannot be compared for players on different teams because of differences in the ways that tackles are recorded.

Anyhow, just looking at Lee's numbers (not compared with Kuechly), Lee has averaged more than 10 tackles per game since his second season. Remember, as a rookie, he had just 45 tackles as a backup. Since then -- 486 tackles in 46 games (10.6 tackles per game).

Luke's the better player but he's better then every linebacker. I think Lee is top 5

Obiously not counting durability. Would Sean Lee be where Kuechly is if he wasn't injury prone?

Health. That's the only difference between the two. Just my humble opinion, of course.

Lee is my favorite player and my avatar but Kuechly is better. He had another Pick 6 today and was all over the field.

Durability and strength

 

[coult44]

Kuechly is faster and probably stronger but really none of that has anything to do with who the better player is. Sean makes up for it with his instincts and quickness, overall awareness. He would have had a better year in Carolinas defense.

Y'all crack me up. If our team was as good as all the players we have that are better than everyone else's players, we'd be dang good!!!

Even healthy, Luke is still better. Don't get me wrong, Lee is certainly a very good player.

Lee 6

Lee has played in 60 games Keuchly in 61 and they have basically identical stats. Keucley more tackle Lee for Ints.

Matter of opinion.

Um maybe this is breaking news to you but Dez and Romo were actually injured.

Biggest single difference?
Steroids.

Check out KD's neck. Guys don't get that way w/out some synthetic help.

The gap between some of the pics of him a few years ago and those take more recently are pretty big. That whole team makes me suspicious. Something is in the water at their facility.

 

[vaturkey]

Lee isn't a thick, nor as strong. I like them both.

What the freeeeaaak does Lee not being better than Luke? Go hide

 

[coult44]

Yep

Athleticism.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Similar. I think Lee was actually better in pass coverage. Pretty sure he led LB's in INTs over a few years while playing half the games others did.

Bowman was an incredible athlete, and when they were prepping for the draft youd see Lee beat him in tire flipping drills when Bowman was sucking air and Sean was barely out of breath. Lee is a monster. It's a shame his body hadn't held up.

I disagree. Luke covers 20 yards down the field. But it may be our scheme. But I don't think Sean is fast and athletic enough to cover a receiver 20 yards down the field.

 

[Galian Beast]

I think Sean Lee with the right complement of characters could be one of the best players in the league. Really think he carried a poor defense this year.

 

[DTown214]

Putting durability and the talent around them aside... the biggest difference has to be consistency. Obviously I watch way more Cowboys than Panthers games but it seems like Kuechly never has an off game. Occasionally Lee will have a game where you forget he's even there. But when they're both at their best I'd say they're neck-and-neck for the best player at their position.
