I always felt he was over-rated here.  To me, it is not about how many tackles you make, it is more about where you make them--Morgan and Beason and Luke were in the hole tacklers and they stopped right there.  It seemed to me that Shaq made a lot of tackles from the side--a few yards past the LOS.  

 

 

Shaq is only a WLB in a 4-3. Those 3 are MLB's and probably the best we've ever had. Shaq has always been unfairly compared to those three. You should compare him to TD I guess as he filled in for him in odd sets mostly. But anyway, he's not suited for MLB in a 4-3 or a ILB in a 3-4. He will give you all he's got wherever he plays though.

Morgan, Fields and Witherspoon were pretty good, I think they were together for 02 and 04 

the rams overpaid Witherspoon and tried him at MLB which wasn’t his best place to be. We should have paid a premium to keep him and let Morgan walk. We did the same thing with Beason when it was clear he didn't have much left in the tank too. Those sentimental Hurney contracts always paid players for past performances

Oh I agree with Hurney.  Hurney needed a Tillis to keep his contracts in check.  Now picking a first rounder, I'm dialing up Hurney every time.   I want him on our staff just to draft our first pick lol.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
