Thomas Davis was on a Mission

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
