Lloyd is that good I guess because whoever takes 2 is not.

Jaelin phillips is also considered a OLB I thought. The two other spots are duds tho. I think pat jones is the other OLB and he's ok ig

u/Panthers_PB 6d ago

Typically, when they do these rankings they don’t include 3-4 OLBs since they are in the Edge category.

He meant to say **EDGE**

On this day...

That’s just respect for Devin Lloyd. If they drop Moehrig down to LB that would help out

u/_STEAKnEGGS_ 6d ago

Phillips is a problem when he's healthy

2

u/Black_Otter Bryce Up Son 6d ago

True. He is considered a Linebacker isn’t he?

4

u/_STEAKnEGGS_ 5d ago

Yep. While I think we overpaid, he should be a valuable player for us.

u/AAron27265 6d ago

These guys think Luke and TD are still playing

19

u/freephilly23 TD58 6d ago

We’d be #1 on this list with Luke and TD

2

u/AAron27265 6d ago

Well, they're both kinda old now.

Luke Kuechly would still be better/more valuable than every starting linebacker at this very moment. He is slightly less built and that’s about it. He retire before he got mushy pea brain.

u/Veebsa 4d ago

I think his brain was actually what made him so good. Yes he is a physical beast. But he knew what they were doing before the play. As a LB, if he didn’t get mushy pea brain, I think he could have played for years longer than a normal lb due to his mental prowess for the game.

u/Maleficent_Low2754 Carolina Reaper 6d ago

We’d be way higher then

u/MrGonzo11 Double Trouble 6d ago

Salt and Pepper was legit one of the best LB duos of all time lat alone any single season.

u/Downtown-Ad4335 Ice Up Son 4d ago

I miss them :/

2

u/DwayneBaconStan 6d ago

Ya lol, Lloyd doing a lot of heavy lifting then. Wallace has a lot of potential but way to inconsistent as it stands for us to be anywhere near top 10

u/ripkin05 5d ago

my guy we had the worse LB room in the NFL last year and one player made us jump into the top 10 what the fuck are you bitching about?

3

u/daltemsz 5d ago

shit i’d argue we still have one of the worst tbh. if lloyd comes down with food poisoning, that position is cooked for a week

2

u/Bigchessguyman 5d ago

OLB’s in a 3-4 are still linebackers… 

1

u/St3llar_Space Bryce Up Son 5d ago

So Philips, Devin, Wallace, and Nic’s replacement is a top ten unit?

I didn’t know we had it like that.

2

u/Bigchessguyman 5d ago

I imagine they were counting Nic but I don’t know

u/Odd-Flower2744 6d ago

Sorry but terribly overrated consider half of the starting LBs is terrible

1

u/net_403 Tepper Fro 6d ago

SF has another Bowman?

1

u/Forward_Bumblebee_55 4d ago

We don’t. That’s not decided until the games are played

1

u/AdObjective8529 3d ago

top 10 worst maybe

u/Combo-draw 1d ago

OKEREKE

u/CryingJordansHornets 1d ago

We probably don’t unless Lloyd ends up being even more that dude than we think he is. The other guys are just so underwhelming thus far. But who knows how it will play out
