Thompson talks Wilks, Reich, Evero

I don't see us getting a clear upgrade over him this season. He's a great guy and a great teammate. But calling out any fans is not a good look. Like what they have to say or not they pay your bills and fatten your bank account. No fans? No business. Why do athletes who do this not understand the concept?

What has Shaq done to be hated here? I mean there is a real shitty attitude toward him. 
 

If it’s the money he makes, how the fug is that his fault? If it’s because he isn’t legendary like Luke, how the fug is that his fault? 
 

He’s been a good leader, supportive of the coaches, and a decent performer. 
 

If you’re pissed, aim your poo at who's responsible.

If any Panthers player ever had a legit right to call out fans it was Cam Newton. But he never did not once. Not even now after all has been said and done. But after several losing seasons and zero winning seasons you want to call out your fans?

You can keep Shaq another year by giving him an extension through 2025 with voidable years. His base salary iis 12 million and the rest is cap hit from restructures and signing bonuses. I am sure you can restructure where you can reduce his cap for 2023 which is his last year playing. The voidable years just help manipulate the cap.

This is the answer. Shaq has been averaging $12.5mil in cash earnings since ‘19, and is on the books to earn $13mil next year.

The issue of course has been the accounting restructuring. So ‘23 is the year that cap hits (earning $13mil, but the cap hit will be $24mil unless they restructure again).

You can covert $10mil of the ‘23 salary into a bonus, extend the contract through ‘24, but void it after this season. That frees up about $12mil in cap space this year, and kicks that $12mil can down the road to ‘24’s cap. And we have tons of cap space next year.

Or if you want to keep him longer term you just do a 2-3 year deal without the voidable years.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
