Is Shaq Thompson a bust?

Shaq is highly overrated here in Carolina!!!

 

this was without a doubt the worst play of the season for me. 4th and goal only to get trucked like that? Absolutely demoralizing

I wouldn't label him a bust, but he was a highly questionable pick and legacy of dogmatic, Gettlemanian theory. 

People can low-key blame TD all that they want, but the fact is that he has played at a high level throughout all these years, and he has simply been better than Shaq (as an OLB). Perhaps this is the year where Shaq's play pushes TD away. Perhaps not. We will see. Between TD's age and suspension, Shaq has a golden opportunity.

I agree with you. 

Still, there are “THREE” lb spots on the field. Shaq hasn’t done very much at all to be noticed. People act like there are only two LBs on the field. AJ Klein was noticed when he was playing with Luke and TD.

I think that Shaq has had some flash plays here and there, but that he hasn't had the consistency that Klein had when he was here, so you may be right about Klein being noticed. But...in theory Shaq has a higher ceiling than Klein, and, like it or not, he just hasn't had the opportunity to get into a rhythm and show it. After the first four games, there will be no more excuses. We should know what we have in Shaq either way. The hot-and-cold nature of his play just isn't going to do. While here, Klein was arguably consistently above average. And when called, Klein filled in for Luke and exceeded expectations. Shaq will at least have to do the same for Davis if he is going to prove his relative worth (in my estimation).

Mind you, I still believe that he was the epitome of a luxury pick.

Or, perhaps that's Butler...Both!

He is actually a pretty solid player when we are not lining him up on slot receivers.

He did real well against Fitzgerald in the playoff game. He can line up against SOME receivers in the slot, just not small, shifty, speedy slot guys. But few if any LBrs can.

Not a complete bust, but like every other Gettleman first rounder he's been underwhelming.
