Both are pretty big pieces of news. If KB doesn't go, are we really going to roll with just Funchess/Shepard/Samuel active?

Am i the only one that would be somewhat okay with it if Benji had to rest a game? Not that he isnt stellar and making clutch catches, but Cam is completely missing Shepard play after play and the guy IS getting open. the Saints game stands out most to me. Shepard was open on key plays that would have made that game much more winnable and Cam completely ignored him in favor of dialing in on Funch and Benji. 

Please dont flame or poo on me. i know Benji is great and our offense may suffer some without him. But im also confident in Cam's ability to spread it around when a playmaker cant go (2015 with Benji). Just throwing something out there for discussion purposes

Yeah I get what you're saying, but you don't sit your #1 receiver just to try to get better chemistry with your 3rd or 4th receiver.  Cam will watch film and see when and where he misses Shepard... don't need to sit KB to do that.

Aside from pressers, where we hardly ever get much of anything, with a skeptical eye, watch social media, etc. for FACTS on exactly what Luke did today. The helmet itself isn't dispositive. Non contact position drills would point to stage four. Anything involving contact with other players or dummies (unfortunately, in a few cases those mean the same thing), means stage five, and that the team physician thinks he's good for full practice. However, he has to show no symptoms afterwards, and then still has to be cleared by the independent neurological consultant. As is, definitely a good sign.

Look....Im just messing with you but you went from getting on people's cases for commenting without being a doctor to doing exactly the same thing each and every time Luke's situation is mentioned.

He didn't have a Concussion, Schefter exposed this Coaching Staff for sure.  They probably put him in the Protocol to be EXTRA cautious.  

Exposed the coaching staff? I think being extra cautious with him was definitely the right decision

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
