What happened to Ken Lucas?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Back in '05, we were talking about how he was arguably the best corner in the league and was completely screwed out of a Pro Bowl spot. He had receivers on lockdown that year.

Now he's the Keary Colbert of cornerbacks. The David Carr of defenders. Even worse than Jason David.

What do you think happened? To be honest, the '06 and '07 seasons are repressed in my memories, so I don't remember how he played then. But I know that he was playing at least decently earlier this season.

But yet Chris Gamble has really really improved. He's had the same coaches that Lucas and Marshall have. How do you all explain that?

That style of play fits Gamble better than Lucas. Ideally we would have Gamble hang back and Lucas play up on the receiver, but that obviously didn't happen.

I would beg to differ on that point.. I think Gamble did a lot of improving on his own... Like it was mentioned, our scheme benefits Gamble more, in that he can sit back and watch the play develop more...

remember when we were so happy about tim lewis because the Panthers hadn't had a dpi yet in the season?

why didn't any of us think that was because no corner was ever within five yards of a receiver before they made the catch?

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
