BC to retire Kuechly's Jersey

[Arroz con Panther]

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.

Matt Ryan can't wait until we retire Kuechly's number so he'll have himself a collectible

Well deserved for Luke!!!

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.

Took no time at all to get this thread off topic.

 

Congrats to Luke! Well deserved.

I bet Matt Ryan shoves that Kuechly jersey up his ass in excitement.

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
