LB is one of the worst positions to play for longevity.  I never thought Luke was going to retire yet.  Some people thought his down Year was due to the 3-4, Luke must have felt it was his body just couldn’t do this at 110% any longer and that was the reason for the off year.  I hate it for him more than us, he’s gonna have to find a new passion and that can be tough.  

Ray Lewis is the exception to the rule...mufker musta had a 3 in thick skull...

We have the best and the worst luck with middle linebackers.  All three were amazing all pro caliber players, but Kuechly outshines them all as a complete player and a general on the field.   I know it's best for him and his health, but can't help but feel heartbroken to have lost an amazing part of this organization.

This team seems both blessed and cursed at MLB. We've had an embarrassment of riches at that position in our short history but none of them have lasted long.

Maybe we should just trade the next one we get for his sake and ours. Maybe he'll avoid the curse.

Like running back, it's a position that doesn't directly equate to wins, and they are two of the hardest positions to play long term.

We keep drafting em high though.

I wonder if there is another team in the league that has drafted as many 1st round LB's and RB's as the Panthers over the past 20 years?

Certainly seemed to be a big part of our identity since the team was brought into existence.

The amount of rings we have says a lot about the wisdom in that approach.

I would never draft a LB high because they don't have a high enough impact on the game, and they're likely to break down faster due to the trauma. It's better to have average LBs and cycle them through faster, and spend the saved resources elsewhere. The Panthers are ass backwards from the way I would do things.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
