Was Thanksgiving. Think it was Romo's last start.

Yep thanksgiving. Luke and Coleman both got themselves an INT against Romo and Thomas Davis caused Romo to take his last snap.

I still remember that Dallas was favored in that game when that team was undefeated 11-0 to that point. Was a beyond satisfying win.

He was the best linebacker I ever saw. An absolute freak of nature with a high motor that played the game smarter than everybody else. I was fortunate enough to be close enough to hear him on several occasions during games, and it's true what they say. He knew what was coming and called it out correctly often. When he spoke, everyone listened.

This shouldn't even be a discussion. Luke was all but universally praised by his peers and pundits as an absolute cerebral menace that could both blow up run plays and pick off passes. He set the bar for linebackers high enough that I dare say no one since then has been able to match.

The only reason he wouldn't get in as a 1st ballot is he didn't play long enough. He'll get in. Just maybe not as a 1st ballot. If they would have won the Superbowl in 2015, then it would be a lock. 

Patrick Willis just got in 1st ballot with the same length of a career.

And as good as Willis was, Luke was better in every way and has a DPOY and 1 more all pro team than him. He is one of the most obvious first ballot guys there is. If he doesn’t get in first ballot it would be a travesty

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
