The last player from the Keep Pounding era. Remember when this dude was starting with Luke and TD. Now he's likely done in a Panthers uni.smh

 

Everything is coming full circle now. 

Such a great OLB that we forced to fill in for the irreplaceable Luke and still did an admirable job at MLB. It's sad to think how elite that linebacking core was in 2015 😭

He went down in the 1st quarter. D was gassed either way by the 4th considering the lopsided time of possession

I'm not going to deny that, but shaq's replacement is best served as a sub (and based on the way he played, probably a obvious passing down sub)

My gripe is most of our forum hates Shaq for no reason outside of thinking he is overpaid. Honestly that is probably most of our team

Yeha I got no problem with Shaq I just didn't think there was a major drop off. Or maybe the Offense and CB's are so bad LB somehow isn't an eye sore lol

Seeing that our star pass rusher called it quits in the fourth, that might explain our d-line being worse. I don't think Shaq is well suited for a 3-4 defense also

I do not understand the Shaq hate, dudes been one of the few consistent players on defense for years. Nothing but respect and appreciation for him!

It sucks for a great guy like Shaq, but he is the symbol for the organizations lack of understanding off the ball linebacker is no longer a premium position. Which it a symbol for the front office not adapting to new realities.

I don't think anyone don't like the man, his play or his effort.

I respect and appreciate Shaq Thompson.

He has been a great Panther that had to live in the shadow of some pretty tough acts. Is judged alongside TD and Luke, where at the same time nearly every guy that comes through for the next 20 years will have a tough job measuring up to them.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
