PFF Grades for Panthers


TN05

Recommended Posts

Looks like Davis graded out better than most of the league. I can't believe the Panthers are about to pay Shaq Thompson 9 million to wiff tackles, and be completely out of position. I hope Hurney can find someone in the draft to replace Davis, and they cut Shaq.

Shaq was playing essentially a nickel position often, which is why he may have looked "out of position" sometimes.  He is meant to play where TD was playing...  I don't understand why this is so difficult for most of the huddle to understand.

That excuse doesn't work when you realize that Thomas Davis was suspended for the first four games last year. Shaq did not step up, he played far worse than Davis did when he returned.

Fans expected Shaq to flash, and play well, even take over the reins. He couldn't.

I mean I thought Shaq played fine the first 4 games. Didn't see anything incredibly negative, saw a few hard hits and good tackles. That's just my perspective on it though.

Exactly. He was just a JAG in his audition to replace TD and now we're set to pay that JAG damn near $10M next season.

I saw missed tackles, and playing out of position, nothing that showed him being a first round selection. He just didn't play well.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
