He doesn't really strike me as a leader/captain type. Just kind of a good, upbeat dude that just goes out and does his job on Sunday's.

I guess at some level Panthers fans have always wanted him to be something he is not. Not every LB can be a vocal leader like TD or an OCD film nerd like Luke.

Maybe we really are too hard on Shaq and not hard enough on Hurney for that awful contract.

I don’t get the hate on shaq . Statistically he is having a solid season and a top ten LB in the league.

I've been big on  Shaq since he got here and I've defended him through a lot of undeserved criticism.

I think Shaq took leadership of that defense the previous Sunday when he went in after the game and read them the riot act for how soft they were playing. Apparently the defense and coaching took note.

He's going to the keep getting better and better. Glad to see him coming out of that shell.

His biggest problem is that he played with TD and Luke. Those are almost impossible shoes to fill.

Which explains why gurney resigned him during the kuechly retirement year. I firmly believe the FO knew last year was the end of an era.

 

can you imagine how awful this defense would be without shaq?

Because people are stupid af and think that $7M this season is too much for the leader of the defense.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
