Is Kuechly really worth anything near that anymore?  I haven't watched much of him this year but I don't recall him really standing out vs GB.

He's missed a lot of games over the years due to several concussions. He's great, but he's in Sam Shields territory if not beyond it. 

That is something to keep in mind.  He has had numerous concussions and I need to check but I think he has missed quite a bit of time because of it.

Jesus, some of you have gone full retard on Martinez.  

Pakrz,  LOL isn't that the truth.  I still say Martinez isn't the problem the problem is that the Packers don't currently have another ILB to team up with him.   I would expect that Gute will have the need for another ILB high on his to do list this off season.

On pass downs the packers play a S along side Martinez.

The problem isn't the guy next to him. The problem is he isn't particularly fast. He doesn't feel pass lanes. He isn't tall or long to disrupt more space in the pass game. And he doesn't turn and run with anyone, even 3rd string TEs.

He's a smart guy. He can call the plays. He can make some tackles but he's a JAG at best and he plays a position that should be very impactful.
