So the Chargers let him go. Hopefully he will hang up the cleats and come home to N.C. Panthers could sure find a coaching spot for the man. Hopefully this is in his future. Great guy and forever a Panther....true warrior.

Folks,  great players do not make great coaches.  The reason?  They can't teach things that came naturally to them.  They started their own development on a different level and never had to work to develop basic skills like lesser players--they worked to be elite--not everyone is.  The best coaches (as a general rule) are the overachievers--the people who did not have all the tools but exceeded expectations because they loved the game and wanted to win on the highest level possible.  Rhule, for example.  He was not going pro, but managed to find playing time for Penn State.  He outworked more skilled and gifted players.  That is what you need as a coach.  Nothing against Davis, but the best coaches were not elite players in most cases.

Seriously, with the loss of Luke, I can't say he wouldn't be a half way decent stop gap.  He wasn't what he once was...but damn it we need some kind of Vet leadership back there. 

Shaq thompson says hi. We're letting our vet corner walk with no tangible replacement. Donte Jackson is your #1 as of today.

Out of curiosity, do you think Kuechly would make a good coach?

Thomas Davis overcame a ton of adversity, switched positions multiple times, had to have the perseverance to come back from 3 straight ACL tears. These are not things that are the result of being naturally gifted. It's about adaptation, although on a personal level. Do I think he'd be a great coach just because of all of this? No. Do I think he wouldn't be a great coach just because he was a great player for us? Also no.

So you don’t think Luke would be a decent coach?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
