Panthers dine with Shaq Thompson

I know if a waiter sees Gettleman sitting there they're thinking "fug, I'm not getting tipped for crap"

 

He'll get paid what he is worth. If he keeps hot bread on the table and the drinks topped off and doesn't disappear to go smoke a cigarette out back with the dishwasher, he will receive a fair and reasonable tip: 18% If he wants 20% then he might want to go to Dan Snyder's booth.

 

In all seriousness, I'm glad that the Panthers are showing interest in Shaq. He would fit our defense nicely.

'Bout time. This is my favorite for our pick at 25. he's a TD clone and the most versatile athlete in the draft.

whether it be as OLB or Safety, this guy would start and be an improvement from day 1. He would also take over TD's spot when he retires.

 

The best all-around football player in the draft.

Waiters love businessmen that expense dinners. More costly food is ordered and the tips are usually 20% or more since it's not coming out of the customer's wallet. Panthers will get to write the dinner off their taxes as a business promotional expense.

 

Win-win

We would be looking at him as a LB, not a Safety. He told media that everyone who has asked to meet with him has told him they are looking at him as a LB.

he's be a heckuva tandem with Luke and TD...plus he has coverage skills that would free up Luke for getting after the QB (something he says he wishes he could do more of.)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
