Didn't see posted but wanted to post respects. This doesn't appear to have gotten much attention, but he was huge part of the 2010 national title with Cam. Dead at 23 via car accident. Condolences to all that knew him. Sad.

The driver died.   He was a baseball player at UGA.   The passenger who was wearing a seat belt was treated at the hospital and released.   The girl was ejected from the car and is in critical conditon.  I haven't seen an update today.  Just terrible.  Lutz was a very good football player and from everything I've read he was a super nice person. 

 

His 2012 season at Auburn was cut short by a hip injury.  He was signed by the Rams but the same injury kept him from making the team.  He was working for a financial company in Montgomery and volunteering as a tight end coach for a high school.  He will be missed.  RIP.

I've been bummed all yesterday and today.

 

Us Auburn folk had fun with Lutzenkirchen... lots of us said that "Lutzenkirchen" was German for "touchdown" (he has the Auburn record for TD receptions by a TE).

 

He caught the winning TD (from Cam) in the 2010 Iron Bowl vs. Alabama, a comeback after being down by 21 points.  His spontaneous silly little TD dance went down in AU history as "the Lutzie".  And he went along with it with good humor because that's the kind of guy he was.

I don't know a single person, even opposing players and fans, that had a bad opinion of the kid.  He went to high school about 2 miles away from my house as the crow flies.  Lots of sad people up here.  He impacted lots of lives in a positive way.

 

In just 23 years.

 

Too damn young... dammit.  I'm still bummed. :(

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
