Thomas Davis

Recommended Posts

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.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
