#59 making a family member smile

Recommended Posts

I know this isn't football related, but I had to post this one here.

 

My cousin has battled cancer for 10+ years and has fought like a champ, but it's unfortunately catching up to her.  She asked for a family dinner this past Sunday to see everyone together for possibly the last time.

 

The following day, Mr Luke-ness Monster shows up at the hospital she is in.  She is a big Panthers fan, so his visit made her millennium.

 

When I asked what it was like meeting him, she said "He's pretty!".  I'm sure Lola agrees.

 

Attached are photos of me and my cuz at the family dinner and Luke and my cuz at the hospital the following day.  I love the fact our guys do stuff like this and this one really hit home. Thanks, Luke!!

As much as people want to think that kids shouldn't look up to athletes, guys like Luke, TD, Cam, Olsen really prove them wrong. I'm an adult and will proudly say those guys are some of my idols-having nothing to do with the Panthers or football, but them as great men. Praying for your cousin, Wilmy.

Absolutely. I could not be more proud of this team's leaders both as players and individuals . Stuff like this seals the deal.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
