Sup with Luke?

Not trying to start anything or call him out, just wanted to get a few outsider opinions on his play the last couple of weeks.

The rams obviously game planned against him, but even though he lead the team in tackles last night, did anyone else notice he had a hard time getting off blocks? Also missed a few tackles that he usually executes perfectly, and not to mention his blunder in pass coverage allowing James to catch a pass over the middle for a big gain.

Once again, just trying to get some opinions on his play the last two weeks, no hate.

Guess when you are that absolutely dominant on a consistent basis that you can't help noticing when he misses a play.

He definitely seemed a little off last night.  He missed a few tackles and overran a couple of plays that he'd usually make easily.  Hey, everyone has a bad game and it's not like he played really poorly, it was just a bad game for him.  Not bad when your young MLB has a "bad game" and still plays pretty well.

    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
