Shaq Thompson
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2017 8:03 pm
Just move on already? Getting a little tired of waiting on this supposed IDP stud in the making to take off. Thoughts? Is Thomas Davis even gone next year?

Fair enough, but how would you feel as a Henry owner, if the Titans re-signed Murray this offseason to an extension? That'd be a head scratcher. Yet that's what Carolina did. That tells me they know Shaq isn't ready to be a starter. #BustKcarr wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2017 8:01 am Also, I don't think the Kevin white statement is accurate. I could see any comparison from Tony Gerhard to Derek Henry to Colin kaepernick to Aaron Rodgers in that all these guys were significant draft picks who sat behind guys their coaches seemed to prefer at the time either keeping them off the field or limiting their usage. Now this list includes both success stories and failures and yet unknowns and is much deeper than those 4 but I think they are more fitting than someone who has been asked to be the wr1, failed when healthy and force fed volume, and been constantly hurt
Right, that is why I gave examples of both busts and successes there. Also, unlike white there is a league deepth where thompson is a contributor. There is no league depth where white is going to do anything being hurt. I agree, in shallower leagues he belongs on waivers with the bad signs out there indicating he likely won't be what people had hoped.lukkynumber13 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2017 9:01 amFair enough, but how would you feel as a Henry owner, if the Titans re-signed Murray this offseason to an extension?

I was very close to updating this thread and asking the same thing! I did end up dropping him but hes still on waivers. I dont really have an obvious drops to get him (Raekwon and Joe Williams are in an IR spot). Do we know if Davis is still hurting from the rib injury?lukkynumber13 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2017 1:24 pm Wow, has Hell frozen over??? This guy is actually PLAYING FULL TIME?!
I really hope so! I guess we won't know for CERTAIN unless Rivera himself were to say something.The Red Rooster wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 4:15 pm Another weekend of Shaq playing all the snaps...has he taken over or is this still related to Davis' ribs?
I want to believe this...Shaq just feels like Derrick Henry tho.KA24 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2017 1:23 pm For us who have held Shaq for a few seasons, the tide has shifted. He's crushed it back to back weeks, and I think it will be enough to keep him startable the rest of the year. Davis is still going to be in the way, but it's no longer going to be a hesitation on whether Shaq is going to get the snaps.
