Good on him

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.

    • Rams since you beat them already and they are 0-2 on the road against NFC South teams.
    • Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.               
    • I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.
