I beg to disagree.  Luke would feel far more allegiance to the Panthers, and the brothers he has on that defense, than to Rivera, who never did a thing for him -- didn't draft him, didn't pay him.

I think there's maybe never been a more straight-up guy than Luke, and if he chooses to coach, you'd better believe it'll be for his "home team."

Rivera was the coach here when he was drafted and when he signed his second contract.  After his 2nd year any coach would have wanted him to stay on there team forever but I would bet his allegiance to Rivera and to the Panthers are pretty much the same and tied together for him.

My personal preference would be for him to become a scout. Imagine how much better our draft would be with Luke watching film. I think that is the ideal situation. He is close to the game but doesn't get those feelings of being on the sideline. 

I really think Luke watching film on prospects would find us some real diamonds in the rough!

His decision to retire was probably brought about by the confluence of a number of issues, but you cannot think that the idea of settling down, getting married and starting a family wasn’t a factor.  When you only worry about yourself, you don’t think as much about the future as you do when you bring others into your life.  I wouldn’t be surprised if his girlfriend had as much say in where he goes as he does.

Him being a coach next season would be weird knowing he could still suit up and be one of the best LBs in the NFL.

No he was one bad hit from damaging  his brain even more 

 

main reason maybe the only reason why he retired

Would be the best news out of Carolina in quite some time if they inked him to a coaching deal. I would literally be very comfortable seeing him jump all the early stations and starting out as DC right off the bat. The man can lead, can teach and he knows the game as well as anyone who has set foot on the field.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
