Thomas Davis is a finalist for Walter Payton Award

I kind of feel like Thomas gets put up for this award when he should be getting put up for all of them. DPOY, Comeback player of the year, Pro Bowl, and All Pro. But he's not a national brand so we will recognize him only for his charity work.

With that said his charity work is worthy of appreciation and has impacted me personally in terms of how I donate my money. I'm sure Rodgers and Boldin are worthy of appreciation as well. It's hard for me to be cynical about charity work, all three guys have clearly made an impact.

In the future I think you could see KK Short and Cam Newton get consideration as well. Byron Bell does a ton of community work no one talks about because he's not a big name. Deangelo has the BCA work. We have lots of guys that donate their time we never hear about it.

Thomas Davis is the most criminally underrated player in Panthers history.

He deserves a statue at BoA, with the inscription reading "Often nominated for things."

I'd go a step further and say that Thomas Davis is one of the most underrated players of this generation. He was very good before the injuries, but these last 3 years (and the bit of 2011 that he played) have been incredible.

    • Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .  
    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
