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.

      LOL Even the Mocks hate the Hornets

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      As one of the biggest Miller over Scoot stans at that time, this is clearly different because everything is all about me and what I want. But in all seriousness, I think most of the argument against Miller at that time was about off the court stuff but on the court he was clearly the better player. So if I had to compare, I would say this feels more like if we had drafted not Scoot instead of Miller, but a player ranked more around 6th on big boards instead of either. Bailey was pretty much universally a top 3 player in this draft and Knueppel was not.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
