Why have I started hearing more Reuben Foster to the Panthers chatter this week?

That would be fine with me.  T.D isn't getting any younger and we just don't know about Luke's head at this point going forward.

I've been giving this a lot of thought. When I first heard it, I also thought I would be on suicide watch like some others have already posted. But you're right about TD (although I have zero concerns about Kuechly). I acknowledge the following almost never happens and is usually confined to message board status, but maybe they'd consider sending Shaq Thompson to safety if they draft Foster. Starting TD, Kuechly, and Foster with Shaq Thompson at safety IN THEORY could be awesome.

(I really don't think we're drafting Foster though.)

I'd love to have him or Zach Cunningham...

Not at #8, though...

Foster, at one time, would have been worth a top 10 pick. I don't think he did himself any favors with his incident at the Combine.

I could see him still landing in the top 10 somehow, but I'd say he's more in the range of 11-20, now.

So your hypothetical answer to questions about Luke's "head" is to replace him with a player shown to be even more prone to concussion while in college?

"University of Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster, for example, is a player considered as a top 10 talent in the upcoming draft. But he suffered at least two documented concussions with the Crimson Tide, in a 2016 game and in a scrimmage in 2014. AL.com also reported Foster suffered “stingers” outside of those concussions."

I've said before and I'll say it again, Foster is a great talent.  But if you've watched him play, he's a head-down tackler and that is what creates his concussion/stinger problems.

    • Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando. 
    • As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.
    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
