Extend this man and get it done now. He is the closest player to Luke that we have had.

Guys a wrecking ball and a core of this defense. Don't even think of letting him walk. Do something right Fitts and don't screw the pooch on this one.

He's more than the defensive player of the year, hell he's our team MVP through the first half of the season.

Yeah he’s one of the few guys playing full of fire out there on every play. Certainly not all, but many of this team seems to have checked out and go missing throughout the games. Luvu goes 110% from the first whistle to the last.

During the "Moose" chants during the game Sunday for the Hall of Honor Ceremony, it got me thinking about Luvu.

We had the "Moose" chant for Muhammed, the "Hoov" chant for Brad Hoover, "Luke" needs no explanation.

I think Frankie has gotten to that level.

Did my best in Section 540 to start the "Uce" chant every time he makes a play.  Going to try to keep spreading it this weekend too.

Would be awesome if we could start that as a fanbase.  Anyway, I'll be screaming it with my boys every time #49 makes a play on Sunday.  Hopefully, we'll hear some more people joining in.

I was at the game.  I'm not sure if television did justice to just how damn good a performance Frankie had.  It's been years since we've seen a Panthers LB have a performance like that. He was everywhere.

12 Tackles (2 for Loss), 1 Sack, and 2 Passes Defended.

He literally did it all. And got to do it as a professional in front of his mom for the 1st time.  What a game to have with your mom there!!

And finally, with what happened with Reddick, I will lead the riot on Mint St. if we don't resign Luvu.

The more I think about it, the more I can definitely say that is the greatest LB performance I've seen in person since Luke in the 2015 NFC Championship game.

I don't know if everyone can truly appreciate what a special player you have to be to line up and beat an offensive lineman that has 60+ pounds on you for a sack on one play and still be able to effectively play coverage against a NFL caliber player on the next.

I know we have been spoiled as a franchise by incredible LB play, but Frankie's performance on Sunday deserves recognition on its own.  

Luvu wasn't 100%, our defense was decimated, and he still came out and did everything he could on defense to help get the win.  Definition of a champion!!

Just curious, what's the sentiment in here on a Luvu extension?  He's my favorite player on the team and I'm probably going to be buying a Franklin Luvu jersey the minute he hopefully gets extended, but I know historically most of you are super opposed to paying big money to linebackers.  He will in all likelihood be getting paid big money...Roquan Smith just set the market earlier this year with a 5-year $100 million contract with $60 million guaranteed.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
