Does anyone buy that Rivera is debating what to do with Luke?

Luke wants to play

Rivera made a point a weeks back that cleared players play and was a LB. 

I just don't buy Ron is debating what to do. Ron is a legit coach in the fact his role is to take ownership of many things even if they aren't his personal views.  He believes in chain of command. 

To me this is a GM or Richardson making the call.  Not sure why they are playing this game.  Maybe they don't want to piss Luke and some of the fanbase off by saying he is officially done. 

I initially endorsed sitting him. Now I endorse a heathly player playing that wants to.  If Cam and others are going to be trotted out each week....I don't see why you can/should be selective with Luke at this point.   Cam's out there taking dome shots and playing hurt. No real solid reason for putting bubble wrap on a healthy Luke given what other stars are doing.

Since Luke has had two concussions in a year, I'd rather keep him out two meaningless games. If he comes back and gets another concussion, he will really need to consider his life outside of football. I understand that he could come back and have a concussion in the first game next year, but these last two are absolutely meaningless and not worth the risk, in my opinion.

For my own selfish reasons, I want to see him play and hit some people. I don't want to go into next preseason or regular season on egg shells wondering how he's going to react to his first live contact in nine months. 

With that said, my selfish reason doesn't mean squat and Luke should do what Luke wants to do.

Is it worth the risk playing Cam in two meaningless games behind a patchwork OL while the league is green lighting headhunting on him?

That is my issue sitting Luke at this point.  I mean NFL is brutal for all.  Can't really get behind not playing one healthy stud and having other studs going out there

Ain't a troll. I initially wanted him shut down.

then I watched Cam Monday Night.  There    are some hypocritical elements to shutting Luke down healthy and having equal studs playing in meaningless games.

Two this season? I know he had one last I don't recall a second this season.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
