I have been watching football for many many years.   I have seen linebackers like Mike Curtis, Singletary, LT and many others.   I cannot ever recall a linebacker destroying ball carriers in a more vicious manner than TD last night.   We have seen some great LBs get 10-15-20 tackles in a game but good god.   TD was hitting ANYONE with the ball with power and passion rarely seen for 60 minutes in a game.

You young fans have witnessed one of the truly gifted LBs in this game.  Lead by example.   Mayo, Klein and Shaq are learning the ropes from two of the best linebackers to ever wear a Panther Uniform.  Colinsworth commented that it was amazing he could cover so much ground and still load up for a bone crushing hits.   You can bet your ass those guys will wake up tomorrow morning sore from TD and LUKE hits.

TD doesn't have Pro Bowl appearances but he is one of the best I have ever seen.  Add the three ACLs and he is a marvel and an HOF caliber LB.

 

 

This may have already been brought up in another thread but I didn't see it.   For those that can't stand repeat threads. Get over it.

It is true that we are a small market team, but the super stars we have drafted actually want to stay here. Players like Thomas Davis are the reason why. We have built a culture in large part because players like Davis and Gross. TD is incredibly underrated, but our guys know hes one of the absolute best in the game. And now we see Cam and Keek signing long term extensions... just a few of many more to come. TD will help us build long term contenders. God bless that man.

I debuted my new Thomas Davis jersey at the game last night and the man played like he was ON FIRE.  Just about every tackle had TD or Luke making the play but GOODNESS, TD was laying the wood last night.  He was the boogeyman to the Eagles offense last night.  He is the heart and soul of this defense and it's a CRIME that he has never been in the ProBowl.  This man deserves EVERY accolade as he is the most underrated LB playing in the NFL.  He is a great leader and teacher to the young men of this team and of this league.  Yeah TD - I see you!!!!  I feel that heart thumping hard and I pray you get that ring!  Wow…Panther Nation - we have been VERY blessed to have this man in black and blue.  #KEEPPOUNDING.  Yeah, this man is the live example and embodiment of that moniker.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
