For a LB that is a long career. They take a beating. Shoulders and head. My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years. I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should. Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons. Luke's career--8 seasons. Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more. The other 5 seasons? No more than 5 games per. So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career. Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).

I thought he said other teams thought we were going defense and that's why Dallas thought they were going to get him at 12. He did say they had a bad interview with him

Brhind a paywall

That's the other sneaky thing we did during the pre draft, There were articles saying that we were the most aggressive team looking to trad back and yet we turned down 2 offers that didn't have us moving down that far, Especially the SF one so much like who are pick would be at 8 but we also had little intention if any really at all of trading down but we didn't want anyone to know we were really high on any player so no one tried to jump ahead of us, If the Niners and Rams knew we were going to draft Tmac they might have tried to jump in front of us for him instead of trading with us for him. By the time they realized he was our guy it was too late. Dan and Dave played the first round super smooth. Nobody knew what we wanted to do and the teams that wanted Tmac paid the price. That's high level draft work there.

Lol odd way to put it

Sure but the frame was frail. I think he got up to 235 and then back to 228ish.

Speaking of not picking up the bonus option... GO GET HIM DAN/BRANDT I WILL MAKE TUKA LOOK MELLOW WITH HOW MUCH I WILL FANBOY THE F OUT

I feel much better about this draft than I did after last year's draft. I'm not sure if it's because I went into this draft with a different mindset than I have in previous years or it's because read their draft guide and I could put each pick into a perspective but I don't think so. Every year there are always players that I really don't feel enthusiastic about. Usually is the super athletic guys that get drafted because they won the underwear Olympics but we didn0t do that this time. Each player has performed well on the field at something that we need. I like that approach. Most guys won't become elite players but we don't need that. We just need player who are really good at these different things but that don't have to be the same player. When we want to rush from this side we use the player who does that well. Then on the next play we want to stop the run on this side so we play better than average level and not try to find the players who maybe can do everything we every pick. It's the the RB by committee approach but at other positions and it makes sense IF you have the depth to do it. How do you get the depth to do it? By drafting players who you are sure can do at least 1 of these things at a high level.

Crazy, Steve Smith just said on his draft recap that talking to coaches on the team.. that T-Mac was a surprise to them because the talk earlier that day was defense first and not T-Mac.

Smart mhrfkers

its gonna be a chippy 3rd in Washington now. Habs have nothing to lose here.

Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was. I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the punching the air I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer. So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.

https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-add-mapalo-mwansa-through-international-player-pathway CHARLOTTE — Mapalo "Maz" Mwansa has achieved a dream he didn't even know he had until recently. If you google his name, one of the first results is for his LinkedIn page for his accounting job—well, his former accounting job. The defensive end was signed by the Carolina Panthers this week through the NFL's International Player Pathway program.

Gotta get them before the tariffs hit

Shaq was supposed to be TD's successor as an 4-3 outside linebacker next to Luke

Just wait. Why the hurry? Every draft pick jersey across the league is in pre order status. With as much as you love him just get the other color too when it becomes available

He was seated right next to Morgan, looked to be in the thick of things when picks were being made, and I even saw him dialing the number for at least one guy we were drafting. If this draft works out, we may have a new process of selecting players. Analytics like Eager's may change how scouting is done (or what is asked of scouts) in the future. Data processes the player, scouts may analyze the person.

I need Caps and Panthers to win for my bet. So at least one of those won’t happen.
