That is a good point. Ill add to it, Shaq was a trail blazer about LBs that can cover. He started that trend, partly due to what you said above-size. Plus he was a safety at one point in college or had lots of snaps there. It's almost 50/50 split I think about what you need from a LB. I mean the NFL is 62ish % pass last I checked. Side Bar- I have friends in the strength community and one of them had a mutual friend that knew "House" and his staff. Once every month if he heard a story about panther, he'd toss me a bone. He said the House and others just loved Shaq, called him a leader. Always in early and would workout after practice. He was not lazy at all, help set a standard among other young players. Dam shame when house got fired, no more weight room stories..

According to the website 2-4 weeks before the shipping starts, but that part is free currently. "Orders containing this item will be shipped separately 2-4 weeks after the player’s number is officially confirmed. Confirmation will take place no later than the start of the 2025 NFL regular season. Please trust your item will be produced and shipped as soon as possible." I think he's already confirmed the number, it just hit me about the jersey and maybe it was the free shipping(24$ ??) that was hit today. you can call the team store, but I doubt they got any information. goodluck!

He's a good feeney spin move that I never remember big money having. Plus I had forgotten that Charles is Panthers all-time sack leader. I havnt got a read on nic, he's awful young and talented. He talks about effort and wants to stop the run. I need to see him in live action, then maybe its nickname or former panther name time for me.

I hope Tmac and all the rookie do great, but my rule is I do not judge rookies until week one of season two. I need two full off-seasons before a case judgement. * allowed if the team cuts or rookie makes the all-pro.

?? Brother to update you, AT talks allllllll sort trash.... He just does it on field.

Hold on, check this out- Claimed CB Keenan Isaac, CB Shemar Bartholomew, CB Tariq Castro-Fields, OLB Jamie Sheriff, LB John Rhattigan, and G Jarrett Kingston off waivers. Waived WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, G Cade Mays, CB D'Shawn Jamison, DT Jayden Peevy, WR Jalen Coker, S Demani Richardson. That was Dan/Brandt/scouts flexing their "we have the #1" draft wavier... They could have lost Mays, Richardson, AND Coker..... I hope they learned a lesson... Plus now they have to pay Mays 3.3 million, whereas if they never cut him around 900,000....

I agree, I think they have moved on.... unless jewel or Wallace get injured before the seasons start.. Sad for Shaq....

What if Shaq is better than Rozebom/Wallace??

That could have been the main issue. I know Morgan drafted Trevin Wallace too.... I have no insight minus pressers and beat reporters for this. I believe Shaq wants to play, more than one year too. Just he's had some big injuries, age, and wear tear. That stuff adds up fast now. I get that Dan and company just feel if Shaq wants to play, he will have to do that else where.....if he wants to sign a one day, Dan would be ready. The other deal is, before Shaq is signed, I got one question. Is he willing to play ST?? Cause if you are some #3-4 LB, you almost have to play ST... I don't know if a former 8 year starter is ready to lose brain cells on ST tackling... Honestly it maybe a deal where Shaq is simply not good anymore too, I dare believe it..... time and injuries get all these players tho...

I think Dan and the team have turned the page. Personally Id love to see him back on some vet type of deal. The deal is Panthers have his medical files, I do not.

I think it was Blaine Gabbert over Cam, Bortles was a different class. Many had Locker and Gabbert over Cam. I can imagine meeting Cam and then putting Gabbert or Locker or any QB from that class above him.

I disagree with the "had" part. Horn, Jackson, and CSW- That's a good group. They cut the vet NB troy hill cause CSW was ready to take over. Im not going to defend Horns injury history, just he played in 15-16 games and Jackson played every defense snap. Then you got Akayleb Evans, who started 16 games in 2023. Shemar Bartholomew the guy who 6 teams tried to claim and stayed on the roster for the entire year. He's not scared to tackle. Both of these guys are long and tall. Barth started for horn, I thought he did good enough. They just gave a 100,000 guarantee to UDFA CB Evans, so keep a eye on him. CB along LB, always seem to get talented names cut. There's still time and ways to improve the depth. Just need to remain healthy.....

Im glad you were here, cause I didn't want to take on that task!! You did a better job than I would have, I dropped in when needed with some kill shots.

I swear I just spend 10 minutes driving into videos, ESPN has scrubbed that on air Mel retirement rant about Jimmy Clausen. What a joke..... so is Mel and ANY other humans that constantly lie and just away with it...

I normally overrate the UDFA group, but not this season. I don't see any of them making the 53(but bas look at your 53..), Id even say half don't make the PS.... Brandt/Dan need to be ready for any LBs and Safety that get cut... Luck for them those two groups do reach the wavier the most.

Have people forgot his Clausen rant??? Including himself?? I get its been perfectly fine to lie over the years without judgement. "In 2010, Mel Kiper Jr. stated that he would retire if Jimmy Clausen didn't become a successful NFL quarterback within eight years." So mel gets to stay on for SEVEN years after the fact, the deal is Clausen was out of the league in 2015.......Mel stays on after stating on TV he'd retire if teh jimmy wasn't successful, then calls out the NFL for not being able to draft QBs?? I swear some people are allowed to get away with BS.....

This is where I am at, before I see what they show on the field. 5-9 wins The main deal and difference is Coaches right now. The talent is on the low end, * but its enough for them to compete. Evero this is your time and guess what Mr. former #1 overall, its time for you too. The saving grace is this piss poor NFC south. The fuging Yucs have won 4 str with 9-10 win season type of plays, feasting on this weak 6 game schedule. With some Luck panther *could* win 9 or 10 and steal a playoff game too. The truth is this is the 2nd year(really 1.5) into full 3 year rebuild. *After 2026 the cap should be fixed and the team shhhhoooould have some talent, young talent. Many will be in their prime years- dbrown, horn, hunt, BY, lewis, icky, moehrig etc. Then XL, brooks(pray), Wallace, sanders, 2025&2026 draft class will fill in the remaining spots.

I thought you could not exceed 90 unless there was a "foreign" player(which they all already signed). Im already practicing my 'WTFs" for cutting no names players I already put in the Panthers ring of honor... Honestly I look over the roster and only came up with 3 names Id say cut for the excess UDFA group. Im upset for the others....

all the real ones understand.. _____________________________________________________________- I did hear a different view point that made me change my "just a prank call". Kids work extremly hard their whole life for that on call, be like getting a prank call after being on a organ transplant waiting list. The call is the most important part of many of their life's. You won the lotto, YEP, life changing money......nevermind jk bro....lollololollolz.. Im getting old...
