My tribute to 59

We all talk about our favorite all time Panthers.  Names like Pep, Smitty and Cam come to mind.  But Luke stands head and shoulders above all of them for me.  He personified football intelligence.  He could single handedly take over a game, and did just that many, many times.  His toughness, intelligence and leadership are the benchmark for all linebackers learning to play the game.  He left it all on the field, every game.  I'm glad my kids had a chance to see him play the game.

Before the concussions, Luke was an absolute terror.  After the concussions, he was the same as far as figuring out plays, but the physical part seemed to take a step back.  He was still head and shoulders above his peers, but I am glad he could walk away like he did.  Now on to life and other areas to conquer

    • I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper. 
    • I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
