It's a very short video but I think this is very telling of how there has been a lack of leadership and culture on the current Panthers. These 2 Panthers Legends talk about how competitive and how driven the 2015 Super Bowl team was. They even name drop former players.  Everyone wanted to "compete." I think our current players are unmotivated and lack that fire or lack that leadership. Too many nice guys saying "it's ok, we'll get them next time." I really hope Dan Morgan can find our next generation of players who have what it takes to win.

the saddest part is we’ve seen what they can do with garbage coaches

but believe it not they never even hit their peak

I think Luke essentially achieved his full potential in the NFL.  In terms of being a LB.  He was as good as it got.  

Could probably argue Ron was very good for Luke and Davis.  LB play excelled here.   Which would make sense given our HC was a LB and defensive guy.

I mean, he should be a first ballot HOFer.  I think Luke is technically the best football player Carolina has ever had.  Others played more entertaining positions.  Luke technically the best at his craft vs how good others were at theirs.

I agree completely, but that’s a testament to Luke imo. Maybe I’m just sour but I feel going to 3-4 did him no favors and possibility contributed to the length of his career or at the least the quality of the tail end. But he’s Luke, he’ll ball out regardless.

I think he made an impact at a diminished position (MLB) in today's NFL. Unless you're a rushing OLB, you don't get the same money or fame. Luke even outplayed and performed his MLB position. I believe someone compared Patrick Willis stats to Luke and if Patrick can get in then Luke is guaranteed HOF too.

I think Luke is the best 4-3 MLB to ever play the game and I'll take that to my grave unless someone in the future rises to that level. He was basically the perfect player and there wasn't a single aspect of the position he did not excel at. And he could go toe to toe calling defensive audibles with the absolute best QBs out there. The chess matches between him and Brees, Rodgers, Manning, Brady were just something else to watch. Man I miss him, and I know exactly how the Lions fans feel having a HoF hang them up in the middle of his prime like Sanders, Megatron.

Cam does a great job on his podcast. The thing that stands out to me is he welcomes people of all races. He's not just interviewing people from the black community. He's even welcomed people who has bashed him in the past guys like Florio and Warren Sapp. Even the chick from ESPN who trashed him a few weeks back.

 

Cam is genuinely a good dude. Which is why I don't understand why there is people in this fanbase who genuinely hates him.

Oh there’s a reason. People just don’t like talking about it because it’s not overt, it’s deeply ingrained and not easy to point out evidence.

I agree.  I never understood the Cam hate.  

I wanted Patrick Peterson in that draft and was so against him because of the back story of his Dad negotiating  paydays for him and the laptop thing and then his pre-season was abysmal.

But then he just came out in the regular season and played football like Magic Johnson played basketball.   Year's go by and I never heard of him doing anything to compromise the integrity of the team or bring shame to the organization.  HE DID EVERYTHING EXACTLY RIGHT.

Even if I wanted to hate him, I couldn't.   With  competent coaching he would be wearing 2 or three rings.

 

Also Luke was the best I ever saw in person to play the position.  But so was Cam.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
