Any chance Luke un-retires?

If so, would it change your perception of this defense? I feel like we got used to having our secondary be our weakness as long as we had a stout DL and LBs. This year only our DL seems to be solid but glaring holes at other two levels.  If Luke was still on the team as a field genera alongside Shaql, I feel like this defense would be OK, good enough to not get blown out each game.

Possibly, but I think the odds of that happening are very long indeed. Our secondary looked pretty bad last year even with Bradberry and Luke on the field, so not sure Luke coming back would keep our heads above water by itself. As much as I hate it for our team, I think Luke made the right decision for himself, and I hope that he stand by it. With all of his knowledge and abilities I will be shocked if he does not find coaching success, and I think with his injury history that's the best path for him now. I just hope that success comes with us.

That was an uninspired defense playing a scheme that did not fit Luke

Both true, but I still think Luke could only do so much if he were on the field this year. I think one of the things you saw with him last year was frustration at his inability to mask by himself all of the limitations of the defense he was stuck in.

True but he had people running straight at him because of a porous D line that was historically bad against the run

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
