Don't let anyone tell you Shaq Thompson was bad this year.

Ignore the part about Bradberry for now, and take the time to note of Shaq's role.

Shaq Thompson, probably getting maybe 1/2 the snaps if lucky, has been impactful this season. PFF just helps note of how much of a difference he makes. With Thomas Davis looking like 2017 may be truly his last season (God forbid - by far my favorite player,) Shaq Thompson is rounding out to be a real solid pick.

As a note of how much of an impact he's made, check out this one nice play:

Shaq Thompson does his due diligence, shakes away a tackle like he were nothing, then goes in to slam the RB.

An athletic and strong play.

These kind of plays show how much of an impact he's had on this defense. Whether you think that pick was worth it or not, it's nice knowing we probably have one of the deepest and best LB corps in the league.

Then when TD likely retires next year, who will back him up?

Somebody that could take his spot.  Land Collins is a damn All-Pro RIGHT NOW!  It doesn't matter.  If Landon Collins was on this team, we don't win just 6 games.  As many problems as Boston had this year.  Yeesh.

Meanwhile, Landon Collins is an All-Pro.  But don't worry guys, Shaq will be good eventually.  LOLZ.  

lol half this board would have sprinted to the podium to draft dorial green-beckham with our first that year

considering the entire league passed on collins in the first you can say that 32 times

That's cool.  But we needed a Safety that year too.....so......

 

instead of drafting a position of need.  He Drafted a fuging linebacker.

You do realize Landon Collins rookie season was, well, crap - right?

last year’s first-round pick, Landon Collins, had the lowest coverage grade of any NFL safety, while the other position is still up in the air without a proven option on the roster.

He surprisingly broke out, which is good for him. 

This draft has better safety prospects anyhow. Quit whining.

it looks stupid now but nobody cared in 2015 because kurt coleman had 9 7 INTs or whatever

do you want a lollipop for proving you can look at a draft two years later and pick out who the good players were or something

I mean, Landon Collins would've helped tremendously this year.  And that year, it was a position of need.  As I stated before.  He Drafted a fuging linebacker.  Not a position of need, not a player that's being utilized on the majority of the plays. But a fuging linebacker.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
