Why on the last comment? It kind of seems obvious. He didn’t do much at all, 6 tackles. I think he’s basically saying that he knew he was officially done. He could have retired after we let him go but he wanted to try another year and welp, that’s it, career’s over time to move on from football.

I assume you are trying to insinuate he’s saying something bad about Ron, but I don’t think he’s pulling a Teddy and blaming his results on coaching.

Not necessarily about Ron, but potentially about the organization.

Granted, our organization wasn't exactly stellar for most of his years here. Given the faith they showed in him though, his opinion might be different.

Yeah, I don’t think it was anything more than he felt he wasn’t done after we let him go. He got another year and realized he was done and got his closure. Simple as that. While I still don’t think much of Ron’s coaching skills and Marty’s GM skills or even Snyder’s owner skills, that statement was purely a self realization. 

Very possible.

There's a saying that the length of the average NFL career is one year too long.

Or that he realised he couldn't hack it in the NFL anymore. That's a form of closure too.

He'll probably be feeling some kind of itch in a few years when the bucket list items are mostly checked off.

I'm guessing he will eventually end up on one of the pregame sports talk shows eventually.  Whenever he comes in from the wild that is.

Yep, I bet he felt a little itch, signed up to be a scout and then was like WTF am I doing this when I can enjoy my retirement.

My angle is he felt bad about early retire and had to do something as good faith. I can not help to think what this team with him still manning the middle. Playoffs last year and this...maybe even no TB SB too....

He still stuck the panthers high dead cap via the Herniay special....

Maybe, but he clearly didn’t enjoy scouting as much as just getting on with no football.

That said we don’t make the playoffs last year even with Kuechly and we certainly don’t stop TB. When Cam hurt his shoulder, even Luke had no chance to get us to the playoffs without a good QB.

I think hes a better fit for coaching than scouting, I base that mainly on his interview with DJ. Man Luke is true difference maker, the whole defense plays better and in a way so does the offensive given they have more snaps with Luke controlling the field. TB is a far out statement, just Luke could have upset the time line and gave other Defensives a look at how to stop Tom/Bruce. I believe Luke has a winning record against both Tom/Bruce(my guess). TB was 7-5 before they went on the run of all runs.

Luke for sure could have help win a couple of those 0-8 one score games that everyone blames Yeddy on.....D could have got a stop to prevent going down, get more TO/stops(3rd down we were poop).....ALL of that Luke helps greatly, hes like a 2-3 WAR to steal a baseball term. Panthers were in the playoff hunt til week 16. He would have raised the DLs, LBs and DBs level of play. About 70% of the time hes calling out the play and where its going, my god does that help tons!.

i'd fuging hate to be a animal with luke in the woods...

After hearing clips of Luke on the Move the Sticks podcast it’s clear he would be incredible in a booth.
