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.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
