Good for Luke.

Damn, this sucks! I felt like Luke did not have fun playing football this year on this defense. Many times I could see him frustrated physically on the field. But with this news, do we really need to start a full on rebuild and move on from Cam too? You can convince me that if we had a healthy Cam and Luke then it's not but it's looking like a reset to me.

Has a bright future ahead of him and is in good health despite multiple severe concussions.

 

Can't say that I blame him one bit for not wanting to start over with a rebuild.

 

All class. Hall of Honor inductee the moment he is eligible.

He has been one of my favorite players from his first season. Class act and this team was better because of him. Good luck luck and  one more time. Luuuuuuuuuuuuke.

This is just the beginning I feel. Might as well go ahead and let Cam go. 
 

Good for Luke though stepping away from football on his own terms, not many players get that luxury. 

Yep.  Love me some Cam but it frankly makes sense to get rid of all the old guard for the new era. 

Sad times.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
