Shaq Thompson's Legacy?

Good player, great Panther and person!  I don't feel like he ever lived up to the hype but he had some big shoes to fill so maybe the hype wasn't fair to him.

Maybe I should exchange the word hype with expectations, maybe not.

I never saw the expectation when he was drafted that he'd be the next guy. Heck remember he was even playing some RB in college lol.

With us having Kuechly and Davis, he was supposed to be able to fly around and use his athleticism as a complement to their styles. It worked for a while, but with no good team around him we see he's not exactly an All Pro franchise player.

When you draft a guy 1st round I'd say you expect him to have great impact.  Being a 'decent/good' player for the same team for almost 10 years definitely counts as a good pick in my book though.
