I've been hard on Shaq. Not that I've ever considered him a "bad" player, just that I've never felt he was the type of player who should've gotten the contract Hurney gave him. I guess that's not really being hard on Shaq, it's more being hard on our historic poor cap management with Hurney.

Anyway...

Shaq IMO had by far his best game as a Panther today. Led the team in tackles. Had a sack. Had an INT. Very nearly had a second INT. Broke up three passes with excellent coverage all day long.

This is the type of performance the Panthers have always clearly thought him capable of having. Keep this up and all of a sudden that contract starts to look like a bargain.

I don't know if it was just the number switch or what, but he looked like a different player out there today. I've been just as tough on him but I'm hoping today was a sign of things to come.

It looked like he finally played like he had the confidence in himself that the Panthers have always had in him.

In his post game press conference he actually talks a lot about the number switch making him feel like himself and even attributed it to him having his best game so honestly might be on to something lol

Yeah I just watched that as well. I mean - I doubt it was the number switch but I'll take it lol

      Prediction

      By strato · Posted

      I only wonder about the West Coast team playing on tne East Coast at 1pm factor and historically that has been worth a lot to the home teams. And maybe playing down to the competition that happens sometimes. And the crazy up down up down pattern we have been in this season.  I don’t bet on these things though.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By strato · Posted

      I think the racist stuff is barking up the wrong tree with Tepper. He is all woke and stuff. Not that liberal white people can’t be racists they are in their way pretty racist.  Or can be,  I for sure agree about the yes man aspect and particularly apply that to Wilks.  I didn’t understand the Rhule hiring at all. Did not want. But down the line with Wilks, zi personally wanted him, and personally did not see the racism being a factor in the Reich hiring as much as the fixation with offensive minded play callers and copying that trendy model.  I am having a hard time calling to mind any Black coaches who were out there with the big offensive rep. At one time Byron Leftwich was a hot name who I liked. Don’t remember what happened there but he faded. Bienemy but I never believed in him much, personally.  I think Tepper basically excluded defensive guys and went for the top rated play caller OC types. And couldn’t get Ben Johnson and ended up settling with Reich.  Who ended up NOT being a yes man at all.

      Someone like Steve Smith wouldn't have last half a season under Tepper.
