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.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve.

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.

      And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
