Remember Shaq is a first rounder, we get a 5th year option for cheap.

  I would call 9.3M “reasonable” for a 4-3 OLB. Not any real indication of Shaqs ability, or importance to the team. Just going rate for OLBs without sacks isn’t high. But, to your point, I’ll take him at that all day.

He also had 9 tackles with only Kuechly having more.

Can you tell us why you think he's not solid?

I do think he is solid.  I thought so last year. 

I just think that some fans over react to a single play, bad or good.  Shaq misses a key tackle, he is a bust.  Sacks the qb, and he is a future superstar.  Nature of the beast I suppose. 

 

Fwiw, I also thought the oline play as a whole was solid.  Not spectacular, and we need to work on a few things.  But we had holes for our backs to run thru, and they both averaged about 5 yards per carry.  I can't remember an opening day game where we got that kind of production from our running backs against a decent defense.  Cam got sacked a few times, but more often than not, he had enough time to throw the ball.

He looked pretty sharp out there.  Clean, solid tackling, tight coverage, and didn't seem to be out of position in many cases.  I'd say this week against the Falcons will be the real measure... if he plays lights out, I think it's time for TD to play second fiddle.

I think it's time to update your screenname

TD has a role on this team and it is veteran LB depth. If something happens to Luke or Shaq, TD will be very important.  He should also be used situationally, in short yardage situations. He should not be an every down starter at this point in his career. 

exactly. 

Davis and Shaq should essentially switch roles they've had up until this point in Shaq's career.

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
