Could this guy be the next Panther starting MLB?

Nah

If he is, a better question is, would we let him wear #59.

I guess as short as your IQ. Saying this guy could be next Luke if given a chance. Then Shaq got paid like 13 mil a year and say he is not even first rd talent.

In the 3-4, we need another ILB.  In the 4-3, we need Shaq's skills outside.  I don't see him reading nearly as well as Luke or most MLBs.

Shaq was paid as a ILB. He would be the only one to play MLB in the 4-3. He would have the experience and speed but I agree he's a better fit for the 3-4 teamed up with another ILB. That would allow him to blitz more. Something he's really good at.

You see, I tried to be nice to you.  I realize that you are probably challenged to redeem yourself in some way because I imagine that your social skills and personality flaws have not served you well in life. But please do not think you are winning battles of wits--you feel the need to be rude, insulting--never in a clever way.  So please, never assume the position that you are smarter than someone you don't know---It is rarely the case. 

How a person is paid under Rivera has nothing to do with how he will be used under Rhule.  Thompson is not the next franchise MLB--if he plays there for long, he will be removed and put back outside.  While I do not know for sure--neither do you--so just stop with the act.

Could be but I see Shaq as our MLB in the 3-4 which we should still run. 

I see your point, and he was inside to free up the best LB in the NFL---because he was not getting DT help....That is what I assumed and might be wrong, but it is fun to discuss this intelligently--and you are that.   However, that was under RR and I would bet that Rhule does not use him the same way--he may be forced to, but in the long run, I do not see him staying there.  We shall see soon.

Personally, I think he will be consumed as a 4-3 MLB.  I watched him weak side and he seemed natural.  But watch some tape when playing beside Luke (I know, not fair) and watch their first steps.  Luke rarely missed and he was faster.  Shaq overshot the gap a lot, backstepped on run plays on occasion, and took some questionable angles.  I am no expert, but I do not get the contract if that is the plan.  Much better on the outside where his reads are different---yes, they played him there--alongside the best MLB in the game--and we gave up 5.2 yards per carry.  Yikes.

Hard to really compare because Shaw never played inside except last year. In my eyes he was a bright spot on a bad defense. Keeping him inside would give the defense range while playing him outside leaves a void.

tfw ppl still don't trust Shaq and imply that a UDFA is better for the job :(

I put our MLBs up against the Bears--and that is saying something.

You're not wrong.  Mills, Barrow, Beason, Morgan, Kuechly . . . in 25 years.  Not sure it gets much better.
