..this staff has been a blessing," Thompson said. "Over 200 years in experience, so it's like, why wouldn't you feel comfortable? Everybody knows the game, they've been coaching for a long time. There's no reason not to be confident and comfortable with these coaches. All you got to do is get to know them."

 

"Frank was with me honestly through that whole process. Just talking to me telling me like, 'Man, we really want you back' but he doesn't do the money thing. But he was calling me, texting me almost every day. Him and Pete [Hansen] and Coach [Ejiro] Evero reaching out to me telling me how much they would love to have me back and that I fit the defense and that was another big part of the reason I came back."

 

. So, it was just weighing out do I want to be here or do I want to go somewhere else. Do I want to be with my brothers who I went to war with? Or do I want to go to a different team and meet new people? I'm a big, loyal guy, so I stay with my brothers. And I was like man, I'd rather win with you guys. If I lose, I'd rather lose with y'all. I definitely want to win a Super Bowl but I want to win one with them. I don't want to win one with anybody else."

I love that mindset.  When you're not going to want for anything the rest of your life, what is getting even more mean?  Hell - even putting a couple million cash in CDs or T-Bills earning 4-5-6% compounds ridiculously in this economic market.

I would like to think if I had the type of money and talent these guys have, I would think like Shaq.  I would want to play where I want to play and let the money be an afterthought.

Knowing that several free agents weren't set to get big deals, it became an easy decision for Thompson.

"Shoot. Just look at the linebacker market. Nobody was getting paid. Tight end market nobody was getting paid. Running back market nobody was getting paid. So, it was just weighing out do I want to be here or do I want to go somewhere else. Do I want to be with my brothers who I went to war with? Or do I want to go to a different team and meet new people? I'm a big, loyal guy, so I stay with my brothers. And I was like man, I'd rather win with you guys. If I lose, I'd rather lose with y'all.

Decision to stay was made easy when he realized there were very few FAs getting big money.

Shaq is one of the most underrated Panthers in franchise history.

Tough act to follow behind Luke & TD, but he's much better than a lot of fans want to give him credit for

Shaq has been one of my favorites since his "F*ck the Seahawks" rant his rookie season.

Yea but no doubt he could go to a contender and try for a ring. At least play in some deep playoff games. Despite the homerism on this forum, that’s pretty unlikely in the next couple of years here with a rookie qb and new HC. In fact I don’t think that’s every happened, and there are only a couple examples of that year 3. Which is possible if the stars align…but Shaq would be 33 by then.

Yep. I’ve been saying for awhile that Shaq is a really good LB that had the unfortunate task of following some all time great LBs

Everyone that commented on here wanted Shaq's ass cut you damn hypocrites I'm totally disgusted 

Yea, this board should allow no slander of Shaq after seeing those quotes (except for a 5 minute period following a missed tackle).

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      By Jacabee · Posted

      It was both literally and figuratively a parade of horribles. 1)  Glut of coaching “talent” with designs that didn’t match the personnel and didn’t mesh with each other. 2) An o-line  I’ll-fitted for the scheme on the interior. Injuries compounded this critical weakness. Penetration on runs completely negated whatever zone dominance we tried to establish.  3) Lack of separation by the WR’s. A lack of speed and separation and filling the right roles led to some pretty embarrassing looks. We couldn’t win on multiple levels and it repeatedly trickled down. Also look to (2) because interior pass rush often limited the time for routes to develop. 4) Rookie qb with an average arm but degenerative mechanics. Those railing about arm strength are off. He can sling it with a solid base, and the time of release is plus. 5) as the season wore on, we saw more bailing on the pocket, more dancing, more tip toes . Which isn’t that weird given (1)-(3).    Finally, CJ had one of the best seasons ever for a rookie qb and we missed the pick. It has no bearing whatsoever on whether Bryce Young can be a successful NFL QB. I’ll say this: if the kid does rebound and proves himself, that’s the gamer you want leading your team.
