Star Practiced today

I don't think Luke will play Sunday

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.  There's a chance he clears by Saturday.  Benjamin had that scenario last season.  Concussion in game, and cleared before the next Sunday.  All depends on the severity.  I'm pretty comfortable with Klein in the middle though, but obviously Kuechly is preferred.

This just came across... 

 

Sounds like Luke Kuechly is in 2nd phase of the protocol: gradual return to exercise. I would guess he'll be on the stationary bike today.

Bene and Norman seemed very confident in AJ Klein on last nights podcast. Of course they are going to be positive so take it for what it's worth, but they kinda went above and beyond the whole yeah he can play standard answer. 

There is obviously no replacing Luke Kuechly, but I feel good about AJ starting in his place if need be, especially if Star is back out there. 

Hoyer Mallett might die.

as i said in another thread, Luke being out is a big friggin blow, but having star back certainly will help us weather the storm.  Star is a partial reason that luke has had the success he has had, not taking away from luke but star is a mon-STAR in the middle of that defense.  Hes the only DT on the team that can consistently blow up double teams and is the most consistent at stopping the run.  KK is a beast as well,  but hes more of a pass rushing Dtackle more so than star.

    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.   
    • Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
