ProcessTruster Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 good move. smart guy. made $56m? best years behind him. 3+ concussions? see ya later NFL.
Mr. K Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Thats one way to free up cap space. I wasnt too surprised when I heard it. If McBeane could some how figure out a way to get him in here (hypothetical since he is staying retired) that'd be fantastic. Milano Keuchly Edmunds would be a pretty decent LB grouping for sure. 1
Royale with Cheese Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 So he got cable after the 4 years? Another player slacking after getting a big contract. That's why Carolina never won a Super Bowl. 2
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 He probably wants to take time away from the game, but I'd say do whatever it takes to bring Kuechly in as a defensive assistant for the coaching staff. Pay him whatever he wants, think of the impact he could have filling the leadership void left by Lorax and Kyle Williams even though he won't be an active player anymore. I'm also guessing he could really maximize the play/potential of Edmunds and Milano (as well as the younger guys like Vosean Joseph) and could even serve as a recruiting tool in free agency. I always hoped the McDermott/Beane connections would eventually lead Keuchly to play for us, but this could work too. 1
Dopey Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 One of my favorite players. Watching him cry after that concussion in 2016, I thought he should have retired after that season. Good luck, Dude. 1

Loved watching him play and in the All or Nothing for Carolina a few years ago. Just a good dude. Wish him nothing but the best 1
John from Riverside Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 This is not possible I heard right here that’s much should be brought in to replace edmunds
sunshynman Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Damn Sucks to loose such a great talent. Good Luck Luke! Now if the Panthers are in full rebuild, Let's go get McCaffery! Imagine Him and Motor! Course that would mean Allen would end up like Tannihill and through 85 yards a game and be labeled a bust! 1
BarleyNY Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/07/20/comical-exchange-among-josh-norman-cam-newton-luke-kuechly-featured-new-season-all-or-nothing/%3foutputType=amp I will always think of this when I think of Luke Kuechly. That and great plays. But always this. “Who’s team you on?” Edit: can’t get it to embed for some reason. Definitely worth the watch. Edited January 15, 2020 by BarleyNY 1
BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Welcome to Carolina Isaiah Simmons. Good luck to Luke in his remaining endeavors. I hated seeing him against us when he was at BC, and hated seeing him go one pick ahead of us.

That's because Gilmore is allowed to cheat
Sherlock Holmes Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 8 hours ago, MJS said: Kuechly is a borderline hall of famer even after only playing 8 seasons. Gilmore is nowhere close that level yet. 1st ballot shoo-in...

GreggTX Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Someone recently studied retired NFL players and found that nearly all of them suffered brain damage. This kind f damage doesn't repair itself. Just tale a look at former Bears QB Jim McMahon. He has no short term memory left. He'll get up and go to the kitchen and by the time he gets there, he can no longer remember why he came. Brain injuries are no joke. Another serious concussion could seriously degrade his quality of life for the rest of his days. I know it's hard, but he's doing the right thing. He doesn't want to be dependent on others for all of his needs for the rest of his life.
dollars 2 donuts Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Good for him. If this is what he chooses, in the best interest for himself and his family, great. Additionally, I think it also starts to be a little silly when...oh, lets say you're a 43 year old man and you are still running around playing a kids game...grow up and move on with your life.

Isn't it pretty rare that a top player in their position moves into coaching? Likely a combination of not needing the money and you can't teach natural instincts/ability.
