If I had to make a list of Panthers I would least like to take a NFL hit....Thomas Davis would be #1.

KK Short however is on his heels.  I imagine I would look similar to Cousins with just a push.  Can't imagine a real hit.

Semi serious question - is Thomas Davis the best player the Panthers have ever had? In terms of productivity, leadership, longevity, everything. Is he just the best? That man is a legend

I think his knee injuries will unfairly keep his career from getting the big picture respect his play probably deserves

if TD never blew his knees out...he likely could be the Panther GOAT

Actually, I think that the recovery from the injuries and the level of dedication to great play he had after the injuries will be the selling point to get him into Canton. It will be the attention getter that gets the voting group to then really pay attention to just how phenomenal he has been.

Really, one of the best linebackers to have played the game. Complete and well-rounded skill set, a tackling machine, game winning interceptions, pillar of the community. Really, Thomas Davis didn't come to us as this guy, he grew through adversity and became something really, really bordering on the legendary.

I agree he is one of the best. 

Need all the window dressing IMO to make the HOF.  He didn't get his first Pro Bowl nod until last year....which is comical.   Knee injuries derailed all that bullpoo.

I could name a few current players, that if they had a fraction of TD's self motivation they would be pro bowlers instead of JAGs 

Was just getting ready to say, wouldn't it be awesome if a lot of our other players had his work ethic, and self motivation?  I don't see how we couldn't be NFC champs every year, even if they're not all as talented as him.

      Well if you are gonna put it like that I probably would have to agree with you.  We’ll see how it goes. I am kind of rooting for seeing some Picket this year just for a change up. I root for a change up every year though lately.

      OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

      When Kenny Pickett's arm looks noticably zippier than your starting QB you know problems are ahead.
