When we drafted Luke I was one of the ppl that said TD should sit down.  Let the new rook play. 

Obviously i was an idiot then and now. But, its time to let these old guys retire. In my mind...TD has played   1-2 years too many. If TD loves this team, and knows Shaq is waiting behind him....he should not even come back from suspension and just retire. Let the next man up come in and get play time with the greatest (Luke) before Luke himself becomes long in the tooth and begins to take a secondary role. 

Olsen? Dude is done. Retire. Kalil? Great...but retire.  TD? Love you man....but retire. Take a coaching role. 

 

Tepper is here. We are ready to win...right???

really is more like lose context and totally misunderstand what i said. But for sure carry on brother~

You clearly stated GO, RK, and TD to retire.... im not sure what your message was attempting to be but it was received as these players need to retire today.

 

However, ive read many of your posts, and I should take into consideration your communication skills are as impressive as Amini in any spot on the o line.

fug that, JR has nothing to do with TD. TD is a Panthers legend and one of the best people in the history of the league. Slowing down yes but still extremely useful in a lesser role and leadership position. 

Sir, and I say that respectfully, but I have to disagree with you here.  JR was probably the sole reason we hung onto TD through those 3 ACLs.   Many teams would have cut the cord and moved on.   JR had a lot to do with him staying.

TD should have a role just because of his experience and leadership but as most have indicated it is time to pass the torch.  Shaq clearly is the next generation and TD should be happy all his tutoring has paid off.

There are three linebacker spots right? Why are we talking about TD coming off the bench?

Unless we are referring to big nickel... I believe Rivera stated that Shaq will be on the field for those packages because of his versatility.

We really don't use formations with 3 LBs that frequently, which is why Shaq has been standing on the sideline so much over his first 3 years.  In most formations between the 20's, we're using a nickel back.

Shaq looked like a stud out there. He was flying around and hitting dudes hard. I'm torn.

All of you were shitting on Shaq in the offseason and this is what he's capable of. Kinda sucks that we paid our aging LB and TE more money now.

clearly your perception is lacking. Reading and understanding the irony and nuance escapes you sir. 

And Yet. All are on their last year. TD is the only one i would single out as staying too long and keeping a young and talented man down and way from play time. (SHAQ) 

Olsen? Well nine games out last season..and now this foot? He is more or less a legacy player at this point. One we all want to see play again..and will cheer when he gets a catch or two. Sadly that seems to not be anytime soon.  Kalil? Well Kalil is awesome, but is set to retire. 

If you read any of my posts...you know 2 things. 1. I say poo that is unpopular that fans that have their head up some anus .  2. I say things because i dont give a darn about making friends here or "pie". Heck...i dont even read replies if they dont come within the 20 minute window I am online. Many may say i am a troll. I am not. I dont do it on purpose...but wow people are so easy to troll even when its not my mission~
