Thomas Davis high on Shaq Thompson, calls Shaq "a better athlete than was," proud to be compared to Shaq

Bill Voth, on his interview with TD:

"Thomas Davis is high on Washington’s Shaq Thompson, who many have compared to Davis.

...

“I don’t know where that comparison came from, but I’ll take it,” said Davis

...

“Shaq Thompson is a better athlete than I was at this point,” Davis admitted. “You see his ball skills, he’s not a 4.6 (forty) kid. If you watch him with the ball in his hand, he continues to run away from people. He comes up, he makes big plays."

Would start day-1 at either safety or OLB. And who knows, he could be a four-way player.

Special teams ace, OLB, SS and RB. I mean, why not?

He is a special-teams ace and gets a glowing review from Mr. NFL Man of the Year.

Shaq must have worked out while TD was present...and Shaq says the Panthers have shown the most notice.

Hard to say if first-round is a reach, when that was the same round Davis was drafted in

Shaq just showed slow in the 40. The rest of his drills, the guy was off the charts in speed and fluidity.

Crazy both TD and Shaq himself went out of their way to point out that Shaq is faster than a 4.6 forty when that is what the other All-Pros Shaq compares to ran at their Combines:

4.63 - ILB C.J. Mosley All-Pro

4.64 - Shaq Thompson

4.65 - Lavonte David All-Pro

4.66 - Thomas Davis

4.69 - Kam Chancellor All-Pro

as for the rest of the measurables:

Size:

6-2/234 - ILB C.J. Mosley All-Pro

6-1/233 - OLB Lavonte David All-Pro

6-3/231 - SS Kam Chancellor All-Pro

6-1/230 - OLB Thomas Davis

6-0/228 - Shaq Thompson

225 Lb. Bench Reps (upper body strength):

22 - Kam Chancellor

20 - Shaq Thompson

19 - Lavonte David All-Pro

15 - ILB C.J. Mosley All-Pro

DNP - Thomas Davis

Broad Jump (lower body strength):

09'11" - Lavonte David All-Pro

09'10" - ILB C.J. Mosley All-Pro

09'09" - Shaq Thompson

09'08" - Kam Chancellor All-Pro

09'07" - Thomas Davis

3-Cone Drill (which many scouts consider the most important):

6.99 - Shaq Thompson

7.09 - OLB Thomas Davis

7.28 - OLB Lavonte David All-Pro

7.30 - ILB C.J. Mosley All-Pro

7.36 - SS Kam Chancellor All-Pro

20 Yrd Shuttle (sideline-to-sideline speed)

3.97 - Thomas Davis

4.08 - Shaq Thompson

4.40 - ILB C.J. Mosley All-Pro

Huddle logic: Thomas Davis was a OLB/S coming out. That means Shaq Thompson is the next TD....

Shaq doesn't have close to the instincts TD does. I like Shaq in the second, not in the first

Thomas Davis is high on Shaq

FuFuLamePoo logic: "hurr i don't care what TD thinks, i dont see Shaq as a top 25 pick in the mocks i read so i don't like him even though i know absolutely nothing about him. Bleh!"

NFLSpinZone.com:

"If Thompson is available for the taking then I think it’s a no-brainer decision for the Panthers to make. I’m also sure they can take care of their other team needs via the later rounds of the draft since a talent as superb as Thompson is just too good to pass up

...

Thompson could be used in a variety of ways by defensive coordinator Sean McDermott. The way Thompson can cover the field with his incredible speed and versatility makes him the perfect kind of athlete to have

...

Since most of the top options I’m sure the Panthers want to draft might most likely be gone, it wouldn’t make sense to go in any other direction if Thompson is right there for the taking with their No. 25 overall pick."

Shaq Thompson won't be at the draft in Chicago. That would've

been a potentially great moment if Thomas Davis greeted him

on stage.

This actually makes a lot of sense.

Washington OLB / S Shaq Thompson is a playmaker. Reminds me of Thomas Davis .

I like the Thomas Davis comp for Shaq Thompson by Charles Davis (of NFL.com)

Imagine Shaq Thompson being molded by Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly. Whoa! Wouldn't be against that pick one bit.

Through the draft process, #Panthers have shown most interest

in Washington LB/S Shaq Thompson . I like the pick. Thomas

Davis 2.0

In 2013, the Carolina Panthers had the most interest in Star Lotulelei. 2014, it was Kelvin Benjamin. So far 2015 looks to be Shaq Thompson

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
