i will miss you, you made my day every sunday
This is insane. It’s gonna be weird not seeing 59 every Sunday
You could hear the sadness in his voice. He didn’t ever want to stop playing the games he loves, but he had to be a man and listen to his mind and family. You can’t not respect that. The game was taking over his life, and if he kept playing, he might look like a piece of broccoli by the age of 40
Joe McKim nailed it.
You can’t not respect that? WTF
Lorenzo whatcha mean? I’m just saying that you kinda have to respect how he listens to his heart. Sometimes what you need to do is not what you want to do.
Oh I’m sorry Caedmon Moore. I read it wrong. I didn’t get the double negative. Im (a) german (Panthers fan). That’s why I haven’t seen it on the first sight.
Not meant as an offense but now as I got the thing right I totally agree with you🙏🏻
I almost bust down tears I hope everything goes best friend and us as a panther community we love him
Connor Freis true
I will miss Luke, he is one of the best
Bonnie Johnson true
Not even a panthers fan but I have so much respect for this man.
he is the best
@Unknown Memes Facts man.
He is doing this because of his health. I get that! You did what you had to do Luke! Thank you for the memories! #Keeppounding
Cant have anything but respect for him he has made a immense impact on the Carolinas and he should do what feels right to him going to miss seeing him playing but good luck in the future with what you decide to do 🖤💙🖤💙
luke def needs a coaching job with the panthers
Jah longfellow Hes leaving because of the new liberal owner and him suppressing the conservatives in the organization and believe me,there is A LOT.. that’s all this is.. 100% facts
He’s so smart he’ll make a great lb coach
He’d be equally successful in the broadcaster booth, but I’d love to see him coach the Panthers linebackers.
@Joe McKim Head Coach Luke Kuechly down the road maybe?
I think he’d be a great defensive coordinator even.
And it gets worse. First, we lose Thomas Davis. And now Kuechly? Missing 59 already. It is gonna be a sad and long offseason in Panther Nation….SMH! 😥😭
Luke “DaColdest toeverdoit” Kuechly. 👍🏾
Don’t forget Rivera but hey you guys are gonna get wonderful lottery tickets
Germane Habib you’re not even kidding bro.. among some of the inner circle it’s going around that it has a lot to with the owner and their political differences.. Tepper is a 100% libtard and tries to suppress the conservatives and there is actually a lot here.. it’s sad how TDR is making billionaires lose their mind.. none of us can’t stand him
He deserves a spot on the ring of honor. #59 thank you for 8 years of great memories.
Just watch McCaffrey leave
I’m crying in my sleep fr
Best linebacker since Butkus. He made the smart move.
i am not a panthers fan but luke was my favourite defensive player 🙁
oh man I just finished the video I feel so sad, I almost cried hearing his voice crack
How do think we feel omfgggg
You and me fam
Lost my sleep after seen this. I’m hurt and yes, I cried.
My favorite defensive player too! Went straight to comments – don’t think I’m ready to watch/hear his retirement speech just yet – I still need to process this news. All that matters is what’s right for him. Thanks for everything, Luke!
You’ve had a great career Luke defensive player of the year best middle linebacker in the nfl for the last 8 years hall of fame resume enjoy your health, wealth, and prosper.
Sounds like his heart said yes but his body was saying NOPE. I’ve seen enough retired football players to know that u made the right decision.
and I’m sure the losing didn’t help. Fact is were probably going to be bad for a few seasons as Rhule gets his system in. That 49ers coach was a basement dweller for 2 seasons
As a Saints fan this dude was seriously one of the best ever. Loved seeing him and Brees trying to outsmart each other. A true great, he will be missed.
Roy Thomas you have no linebackers in new orleans so anyone going to look good to you.
John Min Demario Davis was the BEST linebacker out of any team this season. He went all pro and had a crazy year FYM?
I hat that these guys get concussions, didn’t want to see him end up like seau though
I’m a guy who doesn’t cry when stuff like this guy luke my eyes r red for crying 😭
There’s gonna be a huge gap to fill Luke is irreplaceable
I don’t even like the panthers but he’s a goat come back
In the words of Marshawn:
“Protect yo mind”
Protect to body”
“Protect yo chicken”
As a saints fan ! I’m HAPPY as hell we don’t have to see you 2 times a year anymore. But most importantly as a FOOTBALL FAN . I am sad to see you go. You define professionalism and excellence. Much respect to you and your future.
actually it was protect yo chicken, protect yo mentals
Brandon Myles yeah but that statement proves he didn’t “protect his mine” lol
Brandon Myles I quit watching football when that liberal POS David tepper bought the team (I miss it) but I agree with you and would be the same way . I always respect the greats like Drew Brees.. “HATE” him but love the hell out of him at the same time
