Who is the leader of the defense??

No Luke, No TD no Mario..

Who right now is the actual leader of the defense..

1. Shaq - got the contract and learned under Luke and TD..

2. KK - oldest tenured player..

3. Tre Boston- right now he is swagger spokesman and attitude setter of the secondary and maybe defense... He made his opinions known all draft weekend.. And I bet contacted all the young secondary players..

4. Tahir Whitehead - probably MLB starter probably will get the headset and is known for giving out pre game speeches and pumping up players on the sidelines...

Who you got??

Don't get it twisted just because he was hurt last season, KK is a natural leader! His absence was profound last season! Not enough people talk about or appreciate that!

It pretty funny to me that some fans still think Short is going to be a part of this team’s future. The only reason why he is still here is because we can’t cut or trade him. The man has quit playing hard since his big pay day.

And yet, when you look at 2018, he was still rated as a top five DT in the league depending upon who you believe! He was certainly top 10 on any list!

I 100% reject the weak, pretty much baseless narrative that he quit playing once he got paid! Did his game take a little stumble? Sure! Was he awful or even JAG? Not by a long shot!

This proves my point! Even PFF had Short ranked highly as a DL going into 2019.

I mean, if you are going to decide that he's trash based upon the last season where his entire cast of supporting characters took a dip due to the 3-4 transition debacle, and discount the impact of his injury, then be my guest! All I know is things fell apart precipitously when he went on IR. 

Like I said, context matters!

Shaq may end up the vocal leader he was groomed under TD and Luke he knows what it takes.But make no mistake KK is the leader of this defense and a healthy KK can be counted on to make a play when needed you see he was excited about the draft he’s gearing up to play. I see why Top got so mad it’s basically disrespectful to a players hard work and what he wants for his career to say oh he stopped after he got paid so he doesn’t have fire? He’s gonna bumble and fumble through this season with all these professionals hungry dogs just because he’s gotten one good contract? Naw some people want rings accolades achievements to actually leave a legacy and this rhetoric that he quit makes no sense because his pff grade changed some. You need talent and GOOD SCHEMES to be a successful football player.

Edit: I just read they above honestly context matters, I’m still hype off the draft so I’ll have to respond to people spewing out bs football talk.

      Official Week 3: Panthers vs. Falcons Gameday Thread

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I don't care what he was billed as.  That's media and fan bs.   I completely agree that, like all QB's, Bryce has things he does very well, things he needs to improve and things he is horrible at.  You're right, he can't just flick his wrist and throw it 60 yards.  He will never throw a pass like Calab Williams did last week or big arm QB's can do.  That's a limitation he does have but he can throw just fine, without having to put everything into it, ie the 43 yard throw to Tetairoa (which he dropped).  There are plenty of very successful Qb's now and in the past who can't throw 60 yards off their back foot.  No matter what video or stat is shared with you, you've shown you don't want or can't hear it.  You'll find some excuse to say why that doesn't matter, over and over.  If you really don't care I'd expect a lot less bitching about him. I agree with you that we should absolutely bring in competition for Bryce.  I think not having a capable backup or competition is a mistake.  Dalton can get you a game or two but it doesn't matter if you love or hate Bryce.  There is nothing realistic behind him. At least, can both agree we love the Panthers and want the team to succeed?

      Bryce’s ball placement leaves a lot to be desired and leads to lots of contested balls, 50/50 balls and tough catches.   I mean you can call those catchable.  But every QB is going to throw different versions of catchable balls.   and in this fantasy football data overload world….you got folks clearly lumping bad throws in with good throws under the “catchable” umbrella which makes the data not always jive with the eyeball test.

      We have had awful luck with injuries. If it's significant enough then don't risk it. We really need Legette to get his head out of his ass and step up.
