I don't think it will hurt the team for years. 

It is a painful loss. One of the best to play the game. 

I just went back and watch some 2015 highlights of Luke. Then watched the first half of SB50. What a great team we had. And Luke was amazing. He was great. We’ll probably never have another LB as great as Luke ever again. Guys like him come once every 10 yrs. He had how many games with pick 6s. Sacked Manning in the 1st qt of SB50. He made everyone around him better on the field and in the film room. It was Ray Lewis before Luke. There will be guys like Patrick Willis, Urlacher and Wagner that keep coming but not like Luke and Ray. It will hurt this team for years. Just look at our wr position. We still haven’t replace Steve Smith. It has been 7 years. Even Smitty was wrong on draft night saying that we have finally replaced him with DJ Moore. We might be a little better now but not with a guy like 89. I rather have one Steve Smith on this team than Moore, Samuel and Robby altogether.

The bold i 100% agree with. 

And in a perfect world, we would always have players like that. That isn't the NFL though. 

The Panthers have always have had good linebackers, and I don't see that changing. We may not have another Luke, but most teams never get their Luke. 

I'll always love and miss Luke. 

The team will move on, sooner rather than later.

Good point.  Probably won't ever be another Luke Kuechly, but the Panthers have a proven track record of strong linebacker play.  That won't change.

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
