Would Luke have played today if we didn't have a bye?

Anybody know? I don't know how this works during a bye week. I haven't heard anyone say that he's been cleared yet, so am I to assume this would have kept him out yet again today? If we get him against Seattle, that early bye week everyone was bitching about may be the best thing to happen to this team all year.

I don't think he's been back to the independent doctor yet. If we were playing he probably would've gone back this past week but since we were on bye he didn't. So we can't really know. My gut says he would've been back, but who knows. He still could miss the Seahawks game.

This is true. I don't know what has been keeping Luke from passing, but if it's been headaches, a long ass flight from Charlotte to Seattle sure won't help that.

Currently I say 50/50 he plays against the Seahawks, 70/30 he is back by Philly, 80/20 Indy.. I say he makes his return against Green Bay

Based on the extensive time you've spent analyzing Luke's head in person? Jesus christ man just get the fug out of here.

I know everyone is different but Sean Lee went out against NO with a concussion and played this week. Norman got one & played the week after, it's just weird. I know concussions are serious but got damn it seems like something else is up. Hope he's ok though. 

like any other injuries, there are different severities.

This coming from the guy who thought he might retire. Do your opinions on matters you know nothing about fluctuate wildly or is it just me?

According to reports, 3 weeks is the average for a linebacker. Now for you math majors out there, to get an average you add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.  So, there could be LBs who've been out 6 weeks and some that came back the next week. Point is: nothing is up. There's no underlying injury. There's no pattern or trend, why? Because every human is different. There are so many factors that go into the decision to clear a player. The Panthers aren't "holding" him out. It's not up to them. When he's cleared by an independent doctor we'll know it AND THEN if the Panthers decide to hold I'm out or whatever, we'll know. There are rules in place to protect other teams against misusing the injury report, so the Panthers can't hold Luke out for a concussion if he's been cleared to play with no concussion symptoms.

Relax. He'll be back when he's cleared to play and he'll be "HANGRY!"

We ought to know by what, Wednesday or Thursday? Can we just hold off on the rampant speculation until we hear? Then we can all either celebrate or gnash our teeth in anguish.

he will visit the independent tomorrow, we will know if he is playing if he pratices tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
