Panther fans likely don't need more disappointment...

Great players rarely make great coaches. But I just don't see Luke's dry personality translating well to the microphone. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see it.

Agreed, but what made Luke great was his football knowledge and attention to detail. Those are things that translate well to coaching.

Broadcasting though? Luke as a talking head doesn't make sense to me at all, especially after seeing his commercials.

Olsen's definitely got the necessary charisma and the gift of gab. Kuechly? Not so much.

The bar is pretty low for color commentary from what I've seen. Lukes insights would be great for a game. Couldn't be much worse than Moose and Barber's comments. Definitely won't be Romo or Chucky though.

Kuechly also confirms that the decision was pretty much made by the end of last season.

 

He really must have been dealing with a lot if he already knew at last year's end. Yes he might not have been the best last year but he was still a top MLB. Not many lose the love of the game like that.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
