Well that's not at all a good sign if he's not supposed to be fleshed out, because he's pretty one-dimensional and that is rarely ever a good thing. He doesn't offer anything of value to his time on the show. A few funny moments does not mean he has a personality. A dumb as a post jock with an ego..........That's it. And you're telling me his absence from ROTI would've made that big a difference?

Sorry, but nothing here tells me that he's anything resembling a great character or even one worth all the time lent to him. I think most of these reasons only lend themselves to why he's such a weak character. Why it's the other way around is something I still do not understand.
