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.

    • Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!  
    • Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has. 
    • It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
