I dont forsee Beast going back in the middle (ever) What has changed in the defense to set this new tone? nothing that i can point a finger on but moving luke. If he is already the leader of this D, and only a rookie, could we have a clay matthews or ray lewis on our hands? Now I know the d line deserves alot of credit, but the d line arent the ones calling coverages or making edge tackles like this kid is.

And the new pay scale for rookies is BS. somebody get that kid a gatoraid deal. he is already worth WAY more than the 390k (wiki link lol he really got a 12 million dollar deal)

Why are you so eager to throw away our limited capspace? We get so little performance for so much money from too many players on this team. Let us get big performance for small money from someone for a change.

thats not how you keep good players. they need to cut the players that dont perform. and not give out ridiculous contracts like johnson's

There's more to it than just Luke. Remember the team had 5 "new" starters that needed reps. TD, Naka, Ron, Dwan, Luke and Thomas all needed time on the field to come together as a unit. The DL has also really stepped up, especially Dwan by applying pressure through the middle.

Luke is a key part, but there's are a number of factors at play here.

Don't overlook Josh Thomas. Dude has been playing lights out. I hope Luke can keep it up against Manning. The way to beat him is wait until the clock is <5 seconds before setting your final defensive formation. Manning let's it drop to 2-3 seconds every time. Don't give him time to decipher what you are putting out there Luke my boy.

i think the front four is going to put enough pressure on manning that he is going to have some bad throws. even if we dont get the sack (which we probably will) our coverage has to be good enough to give the line time to get there though. i think this is where kuechly will shine this week. getting out to the flats. we already know he can get out there to tackle, and i have a feeling there will be a bunch of quick passes that way if our secondary is even half way decent.

He really has. Starting to like the kid a lot. I've gave him his own personal nickname- The Silver Bullet. Really cuz of that dome piece.

Ridiculous contract you say...

Dude is earning every cent...I'd hate to have you running the team. Everyone would walk in free agency.

      I don't know about voodoo and "must win" type of games..... Just if the Panthers lose week 1 against the jags, I feel the effect will be nuclear-level bad. I would immediately lose all hope and think this is 2-4 win team. I feel a huge part of the fan base would feel the same.   So this is about the most important week 1 in panther history. If they can not beat Trevor who's been the worst QB for years and pitiful jags after training care.......I swear that would erase the whole season type of feels.

      One of the dumbest suggestions ever

      Very simple terms with rough numbers. BY is due 10 million over the next 2 years. *(Panthers already gave signing bonus add another 10mill) Kyle is due 100 million over the next 2 years. BY is about to turn 24 years old. Kyle is about to turn 28 years old.   Age and money is a complete win for the BY. BUT I bet, if the names are reversed, not one sane thinking panther fan would trade a 10mill 24 year old Kyle for 100mill 28 year old BY.    If all was equal, I think the clear better option would be Kyle, no hate just plain facts. Kyle has the superior arm and better athletically. BY seems to have a better focus and care for his craft, but last year's comments hurt. Still better than Kyle not caring about knowing the plays in playbook while he's playing 4,000 hours of COD.    Guess what, very very soon BY will need a new contract........ It could be higher than kylers 46mill per....unless BY wins the SB MVP you can count me out of paying him anything around 50million per. At those numbers, just draft one. IMO BY deserves what another 1st overall pick recently got- Baker 3 year 100 million is about it for last 9 game BY.
