Blah blah blah, I'm a bitch.

That's all I hear. I'm sorry our GM is thinking 5 steps ahead instead of 1 step. Chess, not Checkers, fool.

Why are you calling yourself a bitch?  What an odd guy.

The "would haves" "ifs" and "should'ves" hypotheticals are bullit proof.

Hindsight is poor support for an opinion however the OP does have a point in that Shaq should be playing a lot more than he has been for a lot of reasons.

They finally relieved Klein in nickel packages with Shaq. Worked out well. He had a big hand in shutting down Fitzgerald last year in the NFCCG.

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

They can have Collins cuz we're about to draft Jamal fugin Adams.

Damn, how come we always pick these shitty first round linebackers when they don't fill a need?

He fell quite a bit.  I mean, to be fair.  Gettlemen traded up for Funchess and he hasn't been better.  So.....

Does Ron have the stones to play him over Thomas Davis???

Do the right thing Ron, give Thomas the start but let shaq have the Lions share of the snaps.

Wut????? There's three LBs positions.

Shaq wasn't just brought in as TD's eventual replacement.  Our biggest issue in 2014 was getting absolutely abused by the slot in our big nickel packages (see Charles Godfrey followed by Colin Jones).  I'm sure that was noted on this board then and that is exactly what Shaq has taken over.

Well thats on coaches who prefer their precious vets like Colin Jones in nickel/dime packages rather than keeping a rookie/2nd year Shaq on the field, isn't it?

Yep. Always blame Gettleman. Sounds about right 

[RealBitsOfPanther]

Shaq is an athletic freak that can get sideline to sideline quickly and can also jam and cover slot wr's. He allows us to do a lot of different things on defense. Don't hate Shaq, hate the coaches for not giving him more reps.

Look at TD's stats over his first 4-5 years. He may have had solid production years 2-3 (88 total tackles), but his breakout year wasn't until year 4 (113 tackles). And you can argue his first few years of production were solely due to being thrust into playing due to a complete lack of talent at the safety position when he was drafted. I could argue that Shaq is on the same exact trajectory as TD, except he isn't wasting time playing another position (which he could have considering his college career).

I mean, did he or did he not trade up for Funchess?  I'm pretty sure he did.  Thanks.
