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?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
