Thomas Davis: "We're not The Titanic"

Comparisons have been made to Yogi Berra. I'm fine with that, because as comical is he could be, Yogi could also do his job.

 

He's always been Magic Johnson to me.  Revolutionary type player, similar speaking styles, saying the obvious at times, or sometimes off the wall things.

This doesn't come off as a major thing to me.

Newton makes poor analogies and off the wall statements in press conferences. It's a quirk of his. To me, that's no big deal.

Davis' comments tell me that the guys in the locker room think it's funny, not problematic. I feel the same. 

My comment had nothing to do with Davis.

And my comments have nothing to do with the media. I don't see this story being about them and don't think it's worth bringing them into it. 

To me, it's just about teammates ribbing another teammate for something goofy.

Good for a chuckle...

Do you think TD randomly brought up this subject to the press? That it was such an urgent issue that he had to get it clarified in the midst of prep for the Dolphins?

Or do you think the media are obsessing on irrelevant Cam BS again?

My basic point if you’re unable to get the implication is that there are continuing reasons why Cam continues to distrust the media.

I get what you're saying. I just don't see it as relevant to this discussion.

Making fun of each other is just something teammates do for laughs. To me, that's why this is a funny story. It's also a way of Davis saying "yeah, that's my guy, warts and all". 

Lord knows there's plenty of negative to be discussed. I just don't see it in this

Everyone should know that Cam isn't exactly the most articulate when it comes to putting his thoughts into words; at least not in a media/interview type situation.

Although I will say that his press conference from yesterday was one of the better ones I've ever heard him do.  It goes without saying that he was in a good mood since we won and it was against a divisional opponent, but his speaking was overall better than it normally is.

And with all of that being said, I could really care less, just win football games, lol

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
