We are fortunate to have this guy.

Nah, Luke is pretty good. The Panthers were just lucky he fell to them. It was a no brainier pick.

 

 

 

Hey, remember when we were all waiting on pins and needle for Luke to fall to number 9 in the draft so we could pounce on that middle linebacker we desperately needed? And remember how ultra-thrilled we all were when we managed to ****** him up? Good times.

[CelibatePimp]

I remember people here angry with DG for letting Beason go.

[Udogg]

There were probably 10% who were estactic with the Luke pick,  40% who were ok with it.   45% who thought we needed another position, 5 % who thought it was a horrible pick.

[PandaPancake]

 

 

Oh yeah, no doubt! But he was doing this when the Panthers were losing games at the beginning of the year. They won't make it past next week though.

 

 

Can't hear you in playoff land. LALALALALA

 

 

 

We say the same thing about our Lombardi 

 

Third place? That's the second loser.

[Delhommey]

They just have to get their Scots to find them one.

[jasonluckydog]

yeah I'm still on the fence of the Luke pick.

[PantherBoy95]

I won't down myself because at the end of the day you never know how a player will pan out.

 

I do recall being one who was not thrilled, definitely more confused.  We had one of the best MLB's in the game (remember when it was between him and P.Willis?) coming back and a pretty solid LB core.  I don't remember the other needs but we DEFINITELY had bigger actual NEEDS at the time than LB. (I'm sure WR2 was one as it had been for the past decade)

I'm glad I didn't hold the cards as Luke has by far surpassed my expectations and I look forward to seeing him grow as a Panther.

[Krucid]

I said before the draft Luke should be our pick. I was one of the 10% that was ecstatic. 

[panthers55]

IHe has turned out to be everything I thought he would be and much more. Even when I was pounding the Kuechly drum I didn't expect that everything in college would translate to the pros. He is every bit as dominant in the NFL as he was in college and that includes coming out early from BC.

[Mr. Scot]

They just have to get their Scots to find them one.

Let me state, clearly and for the record, I do not know these people. I have never worked for them and have no association with them whatsoever.

I really believe Keek is a once is a generation type player - they arent going to find another guy his caliber any time soon.

[Herbert is Sorry]

I wanted luke going into the draft and was so happy to get him. Perfect example of BPA over need

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

I dont mean to be a dick, but honestly hardly anyone here wanted Luke, and many people were complaining because we needed a DT and we already had Beason at MLB.

 

I remember because I was one of the few that was praying he would come to us. I can remember a few others... Panther 55 and not too many more. Honestly, most people wanted Dontari Poe that year, which is understandable considering that Fua was our DT at that time.

 

I just wanted to add that that is why I am still a big fan of Rivera... Not only is his defense awesome, but he had a big partin getting these key players in the draft, even in the 2 years before Gettleman got here.

 

Nah, it was a no brainer. It's not like everyone was raging about Hurney pulling a Hurney and wasting a top 10 draft pick on a linebacker when we were already stacked there on paper and horrendously thin at other positions of need, not to mention doing practically nothing to help our shiney new quarterback. Luke was the obvious pick and we were all begging the football gods that he would fall to us because he was being touted as a top 3 pick.
