I had a more detailed response to this that disappeared. But my overall point wasn't that we didn't have a pass rush at all but that Luke and Davis were integral to the overall success of the defense. Between them they had 6 and half sacks and 8 interceptions. In regards to those sack numbers though it's a shame that didn't show up in the biggest game. Kony Ealy was a top contributor with 3 sacks and nobody here would say he was very good. Damn shame.

They compiled those stats in one season, 4 ints each, 2 FF for luke, 4 FF for TD. they also combined for 17 passes defended that season. Those are great linebackers and I still would not agree with them having cap hit numbers of 18-19m 

Shaq has had 76 games as a starting LB and has managed 1 int and 4 FF with 17 passes defended, but people around here act like he is anything more than average. Telling the truth about a guy does not mean you hate him, it just means he is average. I do hate his contract however.

Let entertain your perspective.  

The team obviously doesn't agree with you. 

So in order for you to retain your perspective, you must now assume that our professional staff don't know what their doing. 

Over your opinion. Over the "unbiased" opinion of pff. 

And yet all you nay sayers are alright with that level of ignorance.  

It’s not my opinion that he was 50th in solo tackles at his position in 2020. It’s not my opinion that he had 0 sacks. It’s not my opinion that had 21 total tackles in 4 games during November last season. In fact the second of the year for him was pedestrian at best

They were elite for their position. Shaq to this point has not been. Not all of that has been his fault but reality is reality. I will assume you have missed a few replies in here because I have already discussed Shaq and his contract and how it lines up with the current on field returns. Some fans view things differently and that's okay. But change is always around the corner and I have no doubt our new gm has plans that don't involve overpaying for average play.

It does not seem to be sinking in for some so I was furthering your point. We still have people on here who think Shaq is a "beast" or he is above average.  I'm wondering if they are confusing Shaq O'Neal with Shaq Thompson. I don't know how anyone can keep a straight face and call Shaq Thompson a beast.

He was 50th in solo tackles. He had 21 tackles the entire month of November. He had 0 sacks in 2020
 

this isn’t elite LB production. He’s average. That’s fine

Yeah, I think Jeremy Chinn, the rookie, who spent part of his time at safety actually had more tackles.  Shaq hasn't been a start like Luke but HOF level LBs don't grow on trees.

      Hunter Renfrow: A health challenge led to time away from football

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Everyone wants to know what happened to Hunter Renfrow. He went from the Pro Bowl in 2021 to an afterthought in 2022 and 2023 to out of the league in 2024.  Renfrow ow is attempting a comeback with the Panthers. “It’s just trying to get back, trying to get healthy, trying to do something I love,” Renfrow told Darin Gantt of the team website when asked about a year out of the game. “I enjoyed other parts of life. We had our second daughter, so enjoying that and just wanting to make sure if I’m going to come back and give my time and attention to something that I was going to be all in on it.” Renfrow, 29, revealed that he has dealt with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, which left him with weight loss, fatigue and high fever. It’s a reason he did not play last season. Instead, Renfrow spent a year consulting with doctors and getting the condition under control. “It kicked my butt pretty good,” Renfrow said. “Last year, I fluctuated in weight. I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It’s tough to play when you’re not feeling great.” He now weighs 187 with a goal of a playing weight of 185. “It’s a weird feeling. It makes you grateful for the times that you do feel good,” Renfrow said. “It makes you grateful for the opportunities that you’ve had, and when you feel like you’ve been blessed with some skill to go out there and perform, it makes you not want to waste the opportunity that you have. And that was one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and play.” In five seasons, Renfrow has 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/hunter-renfrow-a-health-challenge-led-to-time-away-from-football

      I am feeling optimistic for sure. But at this point in time in Panthers fandom talk is cheap and seeing is believing.
