Wish him well with his future endeavors.

Turf monster again?

 

When those things go it’s usually just a matter of wear and tear.  
 

cmcs is on the verge, he’s having the same treatment Kobe did before his went. Hard to stop once it becomes disorganized. 
 

Hate it for Shaq.  He’s been a warrior for us. Hard to see how he can comeback from this at his age.

Given all the injuries this team has sustained this year, I feel like if there was the slightest evidence that playing on grass was safer for players, we should be switching to a grass field.

Injuries are demoralizing.......yeesh

At his age and that position? 

He was a really good Panther, his loss is mourned. I think it's over.

Tough break. On the selfish side, we weren't going anywhere so we can take the hit from that standpoint.

I for sure see that as an impediment to signing or keeping guys. Tepper... fug your turf. Do the right thing.

Hate it for Shaq. Great guy, great leader, and he’s also played really well this year. Would love to see Trevin Wallace take over for the rest of the season, I think he has a lot of upside

 One of my favorite Panthers to watch out there and had started the season so well...... POO!

Man I hate to hear that. Prayers up to Shaq.

Welp, none seeing the field

Either way, he’s an UFA and I think we need to walk away and say thanks. He got paid very well so It wouldn’t surprise me if he did retire.

I feel like Achilles are so suspect when coming off rehabilitation for other injuries. It’s what did Jon Beason in.

There’s overwhelming evidence. But having grass when concerts and college football games and nfl games are all happening within days of each other don’t mix.

I think we were gonna let him walk regardless but this might be it for him football wise in general. He did recently invest and buy a logistics company kinda like a “I see my football career is coming to an end sooner rather than later” move
