If Patrick Willis couldn’t get in first ballot Luke ass better not either I’m just saying

Couple things:

1. Willis should have been in first ballot too.
2. They played the same amount of seasons and Luke accomplished more than Willis did from a statistical and accolade perspective.

Retiring before 30 doesn't guarantee a player won't get develop CTE or only have a little bit(WTF?)

There are former college footballers who never played in the NFL whose Brains developed CTE. It doesn't work that way.

A study published in 2018 by researchers at the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank found that 190 of 202 football players (94 percent) studied who played in college or the NFL have been diagnosed with CTE. Among players who played in college but did not play professionally, CTE was diagnosed in 86 percent (57 of 66). 86 percent does not represent the prevalence of CTE in former college football players, as families are more likely to donate if their loved one had symptoms associated with CTE. Scientists are trying to understand how these football families, without medical training, have correctly diagnosed their loved one with CTE nearly nine out of 10 times, as there are no published methods for diagnosing CTE in living people.

The host of a Charlotte station listed his top 4 Panthers:

Luke Kuechly
Julius Peppers
Steve Smith
Cam Newton

Do you agree?

Is that in order or just the names given, weird seeing Cam anything below second and that's a stretch. Those are the right 4 though.

Will that count against the cap ?

If he's cut it would, which is why they'll trade or keep him.

That's the risk when you cut your career short

Don't worry tho, Wagner will get in 1st ballot :wow:
