what are the panthers hiding from us about luke


Recommended Posts

ron SAID monday that luke will see an independent doctor on tuesday. HOwever we have not heard from the panthers about whether luke passed or failed the test. Not only that, but he wasn't at practice at all today (he was doing non contact drills last week leading up to the saints game). all we have are a few clickbait articles from voth

there's something fishy going on w/ luke folks. we must get to the bottom of it. any suggestions?

So far as hits that have put players into the concussion protocol that I have seen, Luke's ranks up there with the worst. Head first, full speed into a guys chest pad. If brain bruises work like regular bruises, imagine the last time you lost your footing and took a running start at the nearest wall corner. Remember the mark that left? Now imagine that inside of your head.

In all seriousness, Luke is lucky to be walking. If they say he needs more rest, I'll believe it and not ask questions.

Or maybe he just keeps failing some part of the testing. It happens.

My guess?

The team already decided to keep him out until after the bye. Maybe they suggested they were ok with the docs taking it slow. Maybe he saw the doc yesterday but they haven't asked for the report. So maybe the report comes out late Thursday, Luke can't get enough practice in and becomes a healthy scratch.

In other words, maybe they are just being very cautious with their investment.

    • I sure hope not. Good grief it seems like the Panthers have more than paid their fair share to the injury goblin over the years. So many of our elite talents have been detailed in their prime by major injuries. From Cam to Beason to Morgan to Luke. You can fairly include guys like KB who looked to be emerging as an elite WR and guys like Oher who was actually looking like the blindsided protector he was hailed to be. Despite his resurgence much of TD's prime was stolen from us with him fighting back from ACL after ACL. I get that football is a brutal sport, but damn... can't we just have some nice things every now and then without injuries fuging it up?
    • He's down within the first 4 games next season.  Bank on it.
    • With the money and draft picks we have spent on our wide receiver group, and with the way Canales has said he wants to run the ball, a breakout season for a Panthers tight end could be 30-40 catches.  For him and Tremble, quality will matter more than quantity.  Make some clutch catches, be a solid end zone target, and that should be sufficient.
