Our little boy Luke sure grew up quick

If you have never seen this particular video, do yourself a favor and watch it..............all of it. 

Turn the volume up a little as sound is kind of low.

 

It's old but really cool to watch it now and think to yourself why did we ever doubt this kid?

 

I hope Luke has the game of the century tomorrow.  Hell, I hope they all do. 

 

Big time players step up in big time games.

 

Plus, I figured Lola and Boo would enjoy it.

The Pryor hit was when I knew he was going to be very special

 

That was the shiit.  I jumped up off the couch, slammed whatever headgear I had on that day down into the floor and yelled  bo yah or hell yeah or whatever...but I remember that particular play very clearly.  He had an interception the same game.  Good game for Luke no doubt.

 

Announcers said something about they knew eventually those two (Keek and Pryor) would meet up that day, like it was destiny.

I love Luke. I feel like, even at this early stage in his career, he's going to be a player that I brag to my kid about being able to see play live on numerous occasions. I got to see what I think will eventually be one of the greatest, if not flat out THE greatest LB to ever play the game.

Really, as Panthers fans, we've all been pretty fortunate. Smitty's legend, Luke's, and I'm hoping Cam can bring us a couple of Lombardi's over his career. Prime time to be a Panthers fan.

Also, most of us here were fortunate to know HeHateMe.

Oh sweet prince....we hardly knew ye.....

I still remember when people were irritated that we took him considering we had Beason

If we could bring up a transcript of the chat room here on draft day, I'd love to laugh at my remarks. I was PISSED that we drafted a MLB when we had an all-pro MLB.

Lol yeah, I remember this place flipping out after Luke was selected.

 

After he finally got his first start at MLB against Seattle, it became obvious he was pretty damn good, then he went on a ridiculous stretch of games where he was averaging like 13 or 14 tackles a game or some poo and making a bunch of big plays.

 

It became obvious, to me anyways, that he was really something special in that ass-whooping of that 2nd Atlanta game in our house.  Up until then he was just an amazingly athletic young LBer with ridiculous instincts.  During that game though, Luke showed off just how advanced he was in the mental side of the game as well.  Lol I remember Luke was just constantly changing the defense, barking orders all over the place pre-snap to confuse Ryan, and Ryan kept audibling.  It was like a chess match... one that Luke won in dominating fashion.

 

Score was like 30-0 before Atlanta finally got a chance to start moving the ball and get those garbage time yards.

 

The Raiders game (still one of his more impressive games) only two weeks after that display just cemented my belief that we had lucked into a generational type talent at LBer.

    • DeAngelo Williams: 1515 yards (2008) Steven Davis: 1444 yards (2003) Christian McCaffrey: 1387 yards (2019) Chuba Hubbard: 1195 yards (2024) Jonathan Stewart: 1133 yards (2009)   DeAngelo Williams 1515 yards in 2008 are most in Panthers history for a season this was when Double Trouble was at it's height. That year he averaged 94 yards a game. Steven Davis missed 2 games 2003 so he comes in at the most yards per game in a season at 103 yards. Mccaffrey averaged 86 yards a game in his 2019 campaign he also recorded 1005 yards receiving making his season statistically the best in Panthers history for a RB, had the Panthers had a better record he could have been a favorite for MVP. Dowdle currently is averaging 81 yards a game despite only starting 3 games thus far. In the games he has started 206, 183, 130 he's averaging 173 yards. In Green Bay he rushed for 130 despite having a 21 yard run wiped out due to illegal procedure penalty that could of saw a 150 yard day.    Top 5 yards per carry. Dowdle 5:6 (2025) Williams: 5.5 (2008) Stewart: 5.1 (2009) Mccaffrey: 4.8 (2019) Hubbard: 4.7 (2024) If Dowdle continues even close to the pace he's on he's poised to break DeAngelo Williams single season Panther rushing record.       
    • The BY9 situation is classic sunk cost fallacy. We traded premium assets to get him. Every few games he flashes the traits that made him appealing (quick reads, touch, composure) but the macro picture doesnt lie. Hes producing at a bottom-tier level across efficiency metrics in yards per attempt, EPA/play, completion percentage over expected, and explosive plays. Instead of objectively reassessing, the organization continues to justify the investment - new coaches, new systems, new excuses - trying to salvage what was invested. Giving him a 5th year is a self inflicted would.  We need to take our lumps and move on
