Shaq Thompson torn Achilles

[t96]

Out with the old. Shaq has been a good long time Panther, sad for him but this isn’t too impactful on the team in the mid/long term. Hurts our already bad D this year but oh well

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Shaq was a good player for us. Maybe he wasn't considered a "great" but definitely a leader on our team. Sucks if this is how it ends for him but that's life in the NFL. I hope he fully recovers and is able to enjoy the rest of his life pain free. Have to think this is the end for him

Yeah, he was a guy that came in at the wrong time with massive shoes to fill. Very underappreciated for sticking with this franchise through many a dumpster fire year. A solid but unspectacular Panther and a guy that deserves to be remembered fondly and not with the level of vitriol that some throw at him.

By all accounts a very solid dude and excellent teammate.

He says he will be back and is not done. We shall see.

Shaq said in the off-season he wanted to play 5 more years......... I think he will want to play, but I dont know if panthers are the team. I know he wants to play in carolina, but who knows how a MLB GM goes about this touchy deal. 

Maybe they can agree to some small vet deal, but I dont see shaq as a backup if wallace takes off. 

 

Believe it or not he was one of the first LBs that had great coverage skills. passing league. but hes got age and ach killer. sucks alllll around.

Hate to see that particular injury. Could very well be career-ending. At the very least he's likely played his last down for the Panthers.

[ClawOn]

Hell of a player when healthy. Probably it for his career but a Panther for life.
