You know, I remember this one guy years ago that most NFL teams didn't think was good enough to play in the league.

There was this one team though, they took a chance on him. He took advantage of that opportunity and made a stellar career with them. Heck, he wound up being one of their most beloved players of all time.

But then one day, he just burned that whole bridge by leaving in free agency (to an expansion team, of all things).

What a disloyal jerk that guy was, huh? 😐

I know he was popular there, but I don't think Mills was ever as beloved as he was here. I think I get where you're going, but I'm not certain.

Saying that while I don't think there's anything substantive to this visit, if Luke does get an opportunity somewhere else I won't begrudge him that.

He doesn't know us anything. Nor should he be expected to turn down a good opportunity if one arises.

Hell, our current assistant GM took opportunities elsewhere before winding up here.

Some people vastly overrate how loved Sam Mills is among the fanbase. If he didn't have that speech he'd be in the same category as people like Mike Rucker and Josh Norman.

This almost sounds like somebody else....

I think health evaluations were 100% of the reason. If he were to come out of retirement, then yeah I'd say it's entirely because he hates the Panthers, but he just spent a year on the staff.

I loved Luke.  How could any fan not ?

he had lost a step. It was obvious to him and everyone and that’s why he left because even with a lost step he was still better than 99% but not to his standards, and, of course,  his health 

there will never be another Luke, never   

it hurts to see him in Bills gear but he is a grown man.  He can do what he wants 

I don’t know about Tepper  I really don’t care for  him much but it doesn’t matter  I can buy into what he sells or walk away.   In this case, imho, it had little to do with Luke’s decision other than ancillary

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
