This is a good thing...as much as I hate to admit it, Davis looked to have taken a bit of a step back last season.

Granted, the entire defense did...but nonetheless. This could be a true passing of the torch season.

I must've missed those games...

You must have. I recall him getting burnt by Tevin Coleman for a TD against Atlanta.

Jacquizz Rodgers had a field day against us.

 

Say what you want- last year it was apparent that Davis was a step slower. It could have been the defense as a whole, or it could just be Father Time.

I don't think that Davis was a step slower, I think that Davis was balling. Did he miss a play or two, yes, ehat defender doesn't? The entire defense wasn't playing well as a whole and when that happens, veterans like Davis tries to compensate and he did. 

Do we need his replacement, yes but not because he lost a step, because he's still here playing at a high level to train him...

Davis was not "balling" last year. By any stretch.

Davis played all 16 games, averaged: approx 100+ tackles, 3 sacks, 4 pdef, 2 int  and 2 ff, a year since 2012. That's pretty darn consistent.

Either way, we need to give Shaq more playing time behind one of best to wear Panthers uniform.

I have always thought we drafted Shaq to be groomed into replacing Davis. Shaq even was a LB/S hybrid in college just like Davis. Although I don't believe he hits as hard as TD I believe he will do just fine. I know this might not be a popular idea but with the regression of TD last year maybe this year will be his last and maybe he will regress even more. TD is one of the best panthers of all time and I hope we can win him a ring to take home. He is the definition of a hard working player.

Rogers best game against us was 30 runs for 101 yds. Not terribly good.

Coleman scored the one td between those 2 in 4 games. 

Seems a bit of a stretch to use those as an example of poor play by TD over a season.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
