Was on the job and couldn't help but wonder.

With the recent awards/honors backing up what we all knew about TD and how he exemplifies Panthers football: Once he retires should his number be retired, added to the ring of honor, get a statue outside of BOA stadium, or all the above?

What say you?

I don't remember much of the Sam Mills era. I was a young army brat at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio back when we got our team. I caught Panthers games whenever I could, but they were few and far in between. While I respect the legend that he is no one in my mind represents what it means to be a Panther more than TD. From start to finish.

Thomas Davis is starting to get the recognition he deserves.  I would take a pic beside his statue, not Smitty's because I value character and the person behind the player--just me. 

 

HOWEVER.....

While we are on the topic of awards, I think SCP's work station should be bronzed and on display outside Panther stadium, representing the combination of Panther knowledge from the fan perspective, the internet, and gastroenterology.  A statue to represent his work ethic and dedication.  A laptop on a TV tray in front of a toilet, with a half-eaten burrito, a roll of toilet paper, and an economy-sized bottle of hand lotion beside the computer.  You could even go into extreme detail and include an unflushed fudge badger at the bottom of the bowl.  As I write this, a little tear is forming in the corner of my eye.  Adieu.

I'd say it's too early to tell. Especially when someone is still playing. Does he look the part so far? Absolutely. Based off of what he does in the future could he be a slam dunk? Yes.

 

A rule added in the mid-2000s by the Panthers organization requires all potential inductees to be retired for at least five years before they are eligible for induction. So there will be plenty of time to step and look at the entirety of his career when it finally comes to an end.

 

Side question, should Kasay get in? Smitty? Anyone else? I know I'm hoping for Cam and Luke but we have to let their careers play out.

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
