Will we even miss Thomas Davis

1.  First of all .. the level of disrespect for someone who has played well for a long long time here is crazy.  TD should be missed even after he is replaced.  Just like Steve Smith was missed, etc. 

2. Shaq played well , hopefully he continues to play that way and hold the position for the foreseable future.   I see no reason for TD to "take the spot back" if Shaq is playing well now. 

3. TD is still probably a little better than Shaq based on experience, however being on his last year of contract and us needing to see what Shaq can provide moving forward so TD's suspension I think will end up being a blessing in disguise. 

4. Having TD as a reliable backup is nothing but good at the moment.  Especially the way the injury thing is working it's way around.

fug that, JR has nothing to do with TD. TD is a Panthers legend and one of the best people in the history of the league. Slowing down yes but still extremely useful in a lesser role and leadership position.

It was nice to see him get a full role so the people in here who thought he was a bad pick realized how good he is.

Just to add, this again speaks to Ron and his love of vets. Shaq was solid last year even though all everyone remembers was not getting Kamara down. Maybe Shaq should have been in place over Davis last year. Same with Larsen over Ryan, Moton over Matt. My niece over Amini. 

What you are others who keep repeating this don't seem to get is that rookies, jags and other players who are forced into duty due to injury need time to develop. Shaq for example wasn't that good as late as last year. He got burned in coverage numerous times and wasn't where he needed to be much of the time. The difference between this year and earlier in the career is almost day and night. He is a beast this year and rightfully deserves to start. Up to this year he wasn't. Reminds me of Thomas Davis when he came into the league or Josh Norman. They needed time to develop. The only guy I will give you is Amini. I don't know why he plays. Still blame his position coach not Rivera who is in charge of developing him and deciding who places in what position. As head coach you aren't making those decisions on a weekly basis

I’ve been thinking the same...Kalils, Amini, Olsen, TD, Funchess, Captain, Peppers (although Pep can stay :)) probably all gone after this year.

Also, Rivera, Hurney but that’s another thread.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
