Does Your Opinion of Thomas Davis Change?

Just because I am curious...

There isn't a soul here that doesn't respect TD. He is the epitome of who you want playing on your team. He passes the eye test with flying colors and seems like a genuine, all around great person. I respect him. I adore his attitude and the way he carries himself off the field.

But.

Lets imagine that this decision was made because he wanted an extension, wasn't being offered one and he reached out to JR to express his displeasure. Lets imagine we get a "yes" man for a GM. Let's imagine that this extension starts a string of bad deals for aging stars and lets imagine we fall back into cap hell, and have no better than a 7-9 record to show for it.

Does your opinion of Thomas Davis change?

Still think he should get the second statue outside of the stadium.  All TD has done in your scenario is let JR know he was unhappy.  If he's THAT respected in the organization that JR would fire the GM over it, you should think about all he did to earn that respect and it hasn't changed.  All the doomsday stuff you write about is from other people's decisions anyway.

Depends a bit on what part he played, if any other than just being less than thrilled overall. If he (or any other played) actually went to JR and whined then yeah, hella lame. If JR took it upon himself to make the move based on some reactions then not necessarily his (or any other players') fault.

No one has any facts. The entire front page of this forum is filled with people speculating. Sports talk is 100% speculation during the months of June and July. This thread is no different. We're here to discuss scenarios.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
