PFF - Shaq Thompson Ranked 12th Best LB


Saca312

Recommended Posts

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.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
