BC to retire Kuechly's Jersey

I heard about it on 610 this morning.  Unfortunately, this article also talks about Matt Ryan as Boston College will be retiring his jersey as well.  I'm sorry...the good news is that their jerseys will be retired during separate ceremonies, so Ryan's celebration won't taint Kuechly's.

Boston College will retire the jerseys of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly in separate ceremonies during the 2016 season.

I guess there is something to be said in that in only took Luke 4 years to get his jersey retired while it took Ryan 8.

This is the Golden Age of Panthers Football folks! When have we ever had 4-5 HOF locks on one team?

I'm definitely optimistic, and probably considered a homer, but really 4 - 5 HOF locks?

Who besides Luke & Cam?

Glad you asked...

2 possibles:

Thomas Davis

Ron Rivera

3 locks IMO:

Cam Newton

Luke Keuchley 

Greg Olsen (watch!)

Dude I love TD but you're delusional if you think he has any shot at the hall.

The book on Thomas Davis isn't closed yet. If he can continue to play at a high level and the team has continued success it's possible, that's an IF

He's one of my favorite players ever, but TD has absolutely no shot at the HOF.  Neither does Olsen for that matter, unless he suddenly becomes Gronk 2.0 these next few years and gets a ring along the way.

TD is at the ass end of his career and he simply just doesn't have the accolades for entry into the HOF.  He's 33 and just now got his first Pro Bowl.  Olsen is a similar case, but he's got 2 Pro Bowls and isn't quite as close to the end as TD is.

Kalil has a far better shot (and a realistic one TBH) than TD and Olsen

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
