Don't know what the outcome of this will be. He has said that he would retire before getting a permanent brain scramble. Not saying he will or should consider it, but if he gets his bell rung again..:who knows.  He just broke down and went to pieces unlike anything I have seen before. Sit him the rest of 2016 if need be. Don't take the risk of forcing a third incident that may force his hand.

This team is just about done anyway. Don't end a HOF type career to try and salvage a lost season.

He most likely broke into tears from that huge hit, his body was in shock. Best case he has the Alex Smith case where he really doesn't have a concussion but is in protocol from the way the hit looked, but worst case he's out for Seattle and Raiders, and maybe more.

If he got a concussion idk how looked like he got the wind knocked out of him badly. No replay showed any hit to the helmet. Confusing

back of his helmet as he fell down.  It's scary that a hit like that could cause a concussion...meaning this could be something that could become more regular for him.  We might be smart to lock down Klein in the offseason.  Regardless, I pray he's alright, if he stays healthy, he will make it to canton.

Honestly he is a ferocious player. This is the price you can pay as a warrior. Luke is about as perfect a player you can ask for. But this is also reality. Football is a violent ass game. 

I pray he's alright and hope he never suffers this kind of thing again. But you really can't blame him if it's a concussion and he considers leaving the game (He won't). But he's already a millionaire and among the all time greats even now. He doesn't have to prove poo.

A former player of ours comes to mind

Need not say his nam

Sadly, the first thought that came to mind. If you watched the '03 Bowl, you might have heard his name a time or two. Concussions can really mess with your emotions and have unpredictable actions. I think emphasizing his crying was unfortunate, because it was either a man terrified he had suffered one or some type of response to the trauma.

Say what you want about the NFL, the protocol has probably helped a lot of guys brains. 

Its not the concussions that turn your brain to mush. It's the repeated hits to the head after a concussion has happened. Luke will probably be out for at least 3-4 weeks, but should be ok long term. 

That being said, I'd sure like to see a better angle of how he looked on the play right before. If he got concussed on that play and then got hit again immediately following, that could be very bad. It looked like he just got his toe stepped on so I am holding out hope.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
