Missing Piece on D

Luke Kuechly the player was bravery personified, but he's never shown more  courage than by walking away

 

Quote

“There’s only one way to play this game since I was a little kid — play fast, play physical and play strong,” Kuechly said, via ESPN’s David Newton. “And at this point I don’t know if I am able to do that anymore. That’s the part that is the most difficult.”

Kuechly paused to gather his emotions.

“I still want to play, but I don’t think it’s the right decision,” he continued. “I thought about it for a long time. Now is an opportunity to step away with what’s going on here.”

 

It's gotta be extremely tempting Luke to come back and join this talented D... That last line makes me think a return is possible, even if unlikely. He wants to play and took an opportunity to step away while the team was entering a full rebuild essentially. Well that rebuild has been expedited and if he came back he would step right into the best D he's ever played on.

Let a man dream!

 

Of course I fully support Luke and if he is truly done and doesn't have the itch to return then good for him. But I do think that quote about his retirement leaves it open a bit especially the "Now is an opportunity to step away with what’s going on here.” That says to me that a decent sized factor in the retirement decision was us going into a rebuild and getting rid of Cam, etc. He may have the itch to return with the team looking much better than expected and especially the defense he'd get to play with.
