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.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
