I notice that you alluded to, but did not actually answer, my question. You might have a future in politics.

I didn't think it made much sense since I'm not employed by the team, so I wouldn't be the one to make that call. Would I cut him? No, that'd be ridiculous. Why cut the only tenured LB on the field that is also calling the plays? If he doesn't perform well or gets hurt, the structure would allow to renegotiate. However, with his current play and pay (especially when looking into the total overall salary cap and where his pay ranks in comparison to other LBs which I have done here), it would be foolish to cut him.

Just in case folks don't want to follow the link:

The comparison to Luke's contract is not exactly the best comparison because Luke's deal came when the team's cap was set to be $155.27M while Shaq got his when the cap was set to be $53.2M higher at $208.47M.

On top of this, Shaq's contract isn't a top 5 cap hit for the team (#7). It isn't even a top 10 for OLBs (#17) nor ILBs (#12). Want to know where his cap hit ranks amongst ALL linebackers this season? 28th. How the fug are people complaining about the man being the 28th highest paid LB?

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
