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.)

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
