Man, he did alot for the community, a poo load. He worked with my foundation as well, so I am bias. He is just a good dude overall. His performance on the field had him as a top TE for consecutive seasons. Maybe it is overkill.

Anyone know if his family stayed in Charlotte or moved to Seattle? I know TDs family stayed here as did Ted Ginn’s and others.

Luke not only retired a panther but stayed with the team. He will get his in time. To me a statue for Luke is even a bit much, but over Greg Olsen, Cam, Smitty or any other player that was special for us but moved on...Luke deserves it more than any of them. 

Not only for retiring here, but also for being a GOAT at the position. Cam? Noone will call him a GOAT in this generation. Olsen? Well there might be some argument for or against. Smitty? For OUR team he was a granddaddy goat but overall he was not all that. Luke however gets that status from every team and player. Even when it is not some fluff piece special about Luke, he gets the praise and admiration.

I agree and I fell like he optimizes the mantra of Keep Pounding.

I believe Olsen ranks fifth all time in receiving yards by a tight end. And that is including Shannon Sharpe as a tight end when he really wasn't.

Seriously underrated player, def one of the ten best tight ends of all time.

Ring of Honor is no brainer...the man might wind up in Canton when people start looking at his career numbers.

Down at this end of the rankings and market share, you get the same crew week after week. We might just end up with Greg in his first year or two.

yeah you get the guys who say "I don't know if Manhertz has just been brought up from the practice squad or just signed, but if Carolina can find an elite TE then they will become way more dangerous."

I was like WTF is this broadcaster!

We definitely got the D team yesterday. Understandably, though.

I'm shocked he lasted this far into the season. Was absolutely worth it for him to cash in several more million for 11 games. Look forward to his broadcasting career and Panthers retirement. 

Would pie but need more pie. I have a feeling he's going to try for one more season though somewhere... oh greg.

I read somewhere when Olsen requested his release, that he wanted to keep his family here. Can anyone confirm or deny? Was the home up for sale this year?

Greg sold his house in August.  While he talked nice about Charlotte while here, he hauled ass and sold the home he just finished building a couple years ago as soon as he left.  I am sure he is planning a final move to LA, MIA or NYC to pursue his broadcasting career.

hes hellbent on coming back, some just dont want to believe reality. That drive keeps them in the game ran by young players, its impossible to turn that mindset off. Hes been running in wet sand since 2016, hes wife coudnt get though either I bet. 

Dave got plenty wrong, but wanting to cut ties with Greg in 2017 would have been the best move for the panthers franchise.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
