Shaq Thompson, Former Duke QB Involved in Sunday Morning Car Accident

May 23, 2016Bill Voth

Former Duke quarterback Anthony Boone is in a Charlotte hospital after a car accident involving Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson.

According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the incident occurred Sunday at 7:45 a.m. in Weddington, N.C.

Boone and Thompson, who don't know each other, were driving in the opposite direction on Potter Road when Thompson crossed the centerline. Both drivers tried to swerve, but their cars collided head-on.

Thompson was not injured, but he was cited for driving left of center. According to a police official, alcohol was involved, but it wasn't a factor, so Thompson was below the legal limit.

"Shaq informed us he was involved in a traffic accident and we are in the process of gathering more information," Panthers spokesman Ryan Anderson said. 

Boone was transported from the scene and is currently at Carolinas Medical Center. According to WTVD's Mark Armstrong, his injuries are serious, but they do not appear to be life-threatening.

Boone, who's from Weddington, played in 46 games and made 25 starts for the Blue Devils. After he went undrafted last spring, he spent some time with the Detroit Lions and the CFL's Montreal Alouettes.

The biggest concern about all of this is the time of day in which it occured..

Driving around at 7:45 AM with any alcohol in your system is a red flag.  Glad it wasnt more serious and that Shaq is fine.

He is still a kid.  He did something everyone does, so I'm not gonna put a label on him.. but you dont like to hear about this kind of stuff.  TD needs to give him a stern talking to..

I smell commissioners exempt list 

Probably means he had a little left in his system from Saturday night. If we was below the legal limit, it shouldn't be an issue. This is unfortunate.

If alcohol wasn't a factor, why do they even mention it being involved?

Because it's controversial and grabs the reader's attention and changes the scope of the report whether intentional or not. And because he's black lol, kidding, sort of....

Alcohol left in the system from saturday night most likely and a Sunday morning drive home. Actually, driving home on Sunday morning is much better than driving home drunk on the Saturday night. 

 

The accident could have been a result of texting or phone use, imo.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
