Nah, Luke is pretty good. The Panthers were just lucky he fell to them. It was a no brainier pick.

 

 

 

Hey, remember when we were all waiting on pins and needle for Luke to fall to number 9 in the draft so we could pounce on that middle linebacker we desperately needed? And remember how ultra-thrilled we all were when we managed to ****** him up? Good times.

Oh yeah, no doubt! But he was doing this when the Panthers were losing games at the beginning of the year. They won't make it past next week though.

 

 

Can't hear you in playoff land. LALALALALA

Third place? That's the second loser.

I won't down myself because at the end of the day you never know how a player will pan out.

 

I do recall being one who was not thrilled, definitely more confused.  We had one of the best MLB's in the game (remember when it was between him and P.Willis?) coming back and a pretty solid LB core.  I don't remember the other needs but we DEFINITELY had bigger actual NEEDS at the time than LB. (I'm sure WR2 was one as it had been for the past decade)

I'm glad I didn't hold the cards as Luke has by far surpassed my expectations and I look forward to seeing him grow as a Panther.

IHe has turned out to be everything I thought he would be and much more. Even when I was pounding the Kuechly drum I didn't expect that everything in college would translate to the pros. He is every bit as dominant in the NFL as he was in college and that includes coming out early from BC.

I dont mean to be a dick, but honestly hardly anyone here wanted Luke, and many people were complaining because we needed a DT and we already had Beason at MLB.

 

I remember because I was one of the few that was praying he would come to us. I can remember a few others... Panther 55 and not too many more. Honestly, most people wanted Dontari Poe that year, which is understandable considering that Fua was our DT at that time.

 

I just wanted to add that that is why I am still a big fan of Rivera... Not only is his defense awesome, but he had a big partin getting these key players in the draft, even in the 2 years before Gettleman got here.

 

Nah, it was a no brainer. It's not like everyone was raging about Hurney pulling a Hurney and wasting a top 10 draft pick on a linebacker when we were already stacked there on paper and horrendously thin at other positions of need, not to mention doing practically nothing to help our shiney new quarterback. Luke was the obvious pick and we were all begging the football gods that he would fall to us because he was being touted as a top 3 pick.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
