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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
