Thomas Davis' Acceptance of Bart Starr Award


Jackofalltrades

Recommended Posts

I didn't see this posted anywhere and I was touched by his speech. As always he's humble, appreciative and emotional and those are also the qualities that make him such an outstanding player and man.

TD is my favorite Panther of all time and we're going to look into working with his foundation to serve the less fortunate in our community. He is a man I want my son's to know, recognize and emulate. He represents all that is great about sports and is fully aware of his impact as a role model. He's one of my heroes and that's not a term I take lightly.

Here are two videos from the Super Bowl Breakfast. The first is his acceptance speech and the second is the entire breakfast and ceremony. 

It's absolutely worth the watch and I hope you realize, if you haven't already, how special Thomas Davis to the Panthers and all those he serves.

I LOVE TD as a player and as a man & role model. 

Haven't seen it reported, but he also won ANOTHER award this past week:  The Byron "Whizzer" White man of the year award - another award voted on by players

Fun fact: decades after his football career was over, Byron "Whizzer" White was appointed to the Supreme Court.

    • He's going way overboard. I mean, men talk this way all the time. Bryce seems like a fine young man. But he's been piss poor at his job. I wish that I could be piss poor at mine---wait, no I don't---and get paid millions.  The thing is, I've supported Bryce in the past, but he doesn't seem to be the type of QB that what I've heard Chris Canry refer to as a "force multiplier." He can't make good players great, he needs great players to make him good. He's not going to pull out a win when times get tough (at least he hasn't), but he becomes good when there is essentially nothing to play for. After trying to give Bryce the benefit of the doubt, and waiting for the light switch to stay on, I'm tired of waiting. I've seen what I need to see, and it ain't pretty. So excuse me for calling Bryce, "pussified" for not being more aggressive in his pursuit of down field plays. He appears to just not have it in him. I'm sorry, Bryce and all Bryce Stans. He's still got to go though.
    • Yeah me too. We should have taken him. He was a much better bet than most of what you find that far down. He might have been 5 stars coming out of high school, I don’t know. Just that he was highly thought of. His college career didn’t get off to a great start and he ended up on a bad team with bad protection. But you could watch him and see what he had. I don’t see a way he doesn’t have a long career as a #2, at worst. 
    • For the record @AceBoogie, I was referring to his unwillingness to push the ball down the damned field. My bad. He just has a problem seeing the field.
