UCE (short for Uso) would be a good chant to get going and hopefully stick. The commentators said that it's gaining traction on the locker room too, as it means BRO or BROTHER. It would be great to get some of my fellow Pacific Islander culture spreading in the Charlotte. 

I'm glad it's gaining traction.  We got to get this fanbase back.  Everybody remembers the joy of screaming "Luke" when #59 made a play.

We finally got another dawg at LB we can get behind like that.

Just curious, what's the sentiment in here on a Luvu extension?  He's my favorite player on the team and I'm probably going to be buying a Franklin Luvu jersey the minute he hopefully gets extended, but I know historically most of you are super opposed to paying big money to linebackers.  He will in all likelihood be getting paid big money...Roquan Smith just set the market earlier this year with a 5-year $100 million contract with $60 million guaranteed.

Pure off the ball I wouldn't pay, but as he is a good pass rusher go for it.

But as good as he has been I think we can lock him up around $10-12M

The more I think about it, the more I can definitely say that is the greatest LB performance I've seen in person since Luke in the 2015 NFC Championship game.

I don't know if everyone can truly appreciate what a special player you have to be to line up and beat an offensive lineman that has 60+ pounds on you for a sack on one play and still be able to effectively play coverage against a NFL caliber player on the next.

I know we have been spoiled as a franchise by incredible LB play, but Frankie's performance on Sunday deserves recognition on its own.  

Luvu wasn't 100%, our defense was decimated, and he still came out and did everything he could on defense to help get the win.  Definition of a champion!!

Chinn’s back to back touchdowns is the only performance since that compares for me. But insane as that was Luvu keeping his foot on their necks all game felt like Luke again.

WTF!

 

A slap in the face to Luke. How quickly we forget Luke was the best defensive player in the league at his peak for multiple years.

 

Luvu is not that kind of talent sorry.

Slow down there.. hes not calling him Luke, but he is saying that was a Luke(esk) type performance... which is was.

I mean, if you look at Luvu's stretch of starts since arriving.  It's not Luke.  But it's probably better than Beason.  Obviously, it's not  fair sample size to really make that head to head but Luvu has been dang good. 

Perfect comparison.  And Beason was a pro-Bowler so that's not faint praise.

Nobody else will ever be Luke, but we finally have another Pro-Bowl caliber LB.

If we could ever have the luck as a franchise on WR's or CB's we've had on LB's it would great.

Just have to make sure Mrs. Luvu comes to every game now. EVERY SINGLE ONE!

Yeah bruh, Frankie was playing like I imagine Bobby Boucher would play if his mom supported him at Football games.

Frankie was going crazy out there. Well deserved!

I think $17-18M is probably more realistic, and that number is going up if Frankie keeps playing at the level he is.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
