BC to retire Kuechly's Jersey


Recommended Posts

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

    • To all the analysts who said "Caps in 5", thank you for telling us their departure time.
    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
