The ramifications of Luke's injury are enormous.

I wish Luke nothing but the best of health, especially if that was the last game he played. Health is the most important thing.

The shockwaves this will send through not only the Panthers but the NFL is enormous. Kuechly is a top 5 player in the league. To see what happened last night was heartbreaking for fans. I can only imagine how fellow players felt. That could have been any player.

We will likely see a wave of retirements on the Panthers this offseason. It has been an emotionally draining season. Some that might be expected, and some maybe not as much. League wide, players are considering retirement younger and younger as the long term side effects of a career in the NFL become more widely known.

You can take it to the bank, the NFL is officially on the decline. Watching a marquee player possibly end his career on a Thursday night game, forcing the team to play on a short week that highlights the greed of the NFL, marks a new era of football. One where players will think twice before taking that cortisone shot and coming back into the game. One where a concussion can end a career. One where mothers won't let their kids play football.

Pick an MLS team now and look cool.

Enough with the knee jerk reactions already. Luke was shaken up, and very well could have been upset because he knew he would be missing some time. This concussion protocol is a good thing. He's not going to be sent back out there until he's ready. Junior Seau had, like 50 concussions. Luke has had 2. Can we please stop talking about the end of his career and Dan Morgan etc. until we at least get a few facts?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

      Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

      Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
