Play Kuechly or not?

[B.BERSIN]

Now Luke has returned to practice, do you think Rivera should start him in our left games?

Yes, the doctors cleared him. With no playoffs our offseason begins early this year so that means no football for 9 months.

[t96]

No reason not to play him if cleared.

[FootballLivesMatter]

Nope. Sit him out. No point. 

[aussiePanther]

You try to tell him he can't play.

I wouldn't.

[Kakarot]

For my own selfish reasons I sit him. I don't want us to win anymore this season

RR told Jared Allen and that worked out.  This would too.  Hopefully by losing and keeping the man injury free.

Would be good to let some up and comings get time.  However, they will not sit Luke.

[Ornias]

Let him destroy Atlanta and their playoff hopes, let him sit for the rest of the games.

There is absolutely no reason Luke should see the field in 2016.  Why risk it?  The team is is not going to make the playoffs.  

The current methodology behind the concussion protocol is very flawed.  Just because an individual has stopped showing cognitive and physical deficits associated with concussion  does not mean they are at a reduced risk for secondary injury.

Luke had what appeared to be a bad brain injury 2 weeks ago. just like anything else, the longer it is allowed to heal the better. Reward does not justify the risk. if Luke gets another concussion this season, the implications could be devastating for him, the Panthers and the league. Said it before, the NFL would have a hard time recovering if this kid is badly injured.

[RoaringRiot]

The reward does not support the risk IMO. 

[Darvinsun]

No let Mayo and our former number 1 pick Shaq play need to let the bench warmers earn their keep.

I wish we IRd him. Would be a shame if he suffered another concussion in one of these last four pointless games.
