Former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly will lead a virtual lesson hosted by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools at noon Monday.

The free lesson is open to the public and any age student can tune in.

Good on him

I don't think he retired for that purpose as you implied. I think he retired because of the concussions. He's free to do whatever he wants

Painful loss. I’m still not over it. Will hurt this team for many years.

It is a painful loss. One of the best to play the game.

I just went back and watch some 2015 highlights of Luke. Then watched the first half of SB50. What a great team we had. And Luke was amazing. He was great. We’ll probably never have another LB as great as Luke ever again. Guys like him come once every 10 yrs. He had how many games with pick 6s. Sacked Manning in the 1st qt of SB50. He made everyone around him better on the field and in the film room. It was Ray Lewis before Luke. There will be guys like Patrick Willis, Urlacher and Wagner that keep coming but not like Luke and Ray. It will hurt this team for years. Just look at our wr position. We still haven’t replace Steve Smith. It has been 7 years. Even Smitty was wrong on draft night saying that we have finally replaced him with DJ Moore. We might be a little better now but not with a guy like 89. I rather have one Steve Smith on this team than Moore, Samuel and Robby altogether.

The bold i 100% agree with. 

And in a perfect world, we would always have players like that. That isn't the NFL though. 

The Panthers have always have had good linebackers, and I don't see that changing. We may not have another Luke, but most teams never get their Luke. 

I'll always love and miss Luke. 

The team will move on, sooner rather than later.

Surely a seasoned vet like you knows that snide, worthless remarks like his are a dime a dozen around this dump?

Good point.  Probably won't ever be another Luke Kuechly, but the Panthers have a proven track record of strong linebacker play.  That won't change.
