I've taken several SONY surveys before but this is the first time I've ever seen it targeted to one particular actor. They asked respondents to compare Jason Thompson to Burgess Jenkins and Billy Miller with side by side photos and provided a box to write detailed explanations for why we felt that way. There were also questions about his screen time and his "looks" and if he affected our enjoyment of the show. It was very pointed.
I think SONY is dissatisfied with Jason Thompson's overall performance. If JFP did over-pay his salary, they may renegotiate his contract.
