Is it the system or the pending contract?

It is Davis' maturity as a player.

With that said, I question the value of drafting positional projects in the 1st round. By the time Davis finally figured out the LBer position, his contract was expiring. Part of being successful in the NFL is getting good production out of relatively cheap rookie contracts.

Davis has played his ass off every year, he's not the type to be lax until his contract is up. i think it's a combination of maturity, Beason's influence, and the play calling putting him in better position.

No he has picked it up this year.

Pending contract no doubt about it.

a number of things.

davis is playing in a system that naturally causes action to flow to the WLB. He's also always been really awesome, he just never put up the stats to go with his play.

i don't really think it's his contract. He knows the Panthers are going to pay him, even overpay him if they have to. If chris gamble is worth what he got, how much is thomas davis worth? also, Davis is incredibly tied into the Charlotte community, beason is his best friend, and he's the perfect fox player.

basically i <3 davis in a way that's not natural

I don't think its a matter of his contract as much as it's been him settling down. The previous two seasons he played well. This year, its part of the system which features the Will LB more than the Mike. I'm glad for it.

Now as far as his contract...god only knows how much he's going to cost us, but I think he's incredibly valuable.

If the CBA isn't extended, he will be an RFA for another 2 years and the Panthers will have all kinds of leverage in negotiations.

He's improved every year he's been here, and with the new system playing heavily to his strengths he is looking like a beast. Extra motivation in the form of a contract never hurts, but I honestly believe he would be doing this well regardless.

The further we get into the season, the better he is going to play. And with Beason finally looking like his former self now that the line is tightening up, one bright spot that all Panther fans have to look forward to each sunday will be the two of them trying to outplay each other.

      Dan Orlovsky on Bryce Young

      By Coheed · Posted

      I get what you’re saying but the reason I think his mentality underscores it all is that he did have legitimately solid and sometimes even good games at the end of last year after his bench, and against some good teams (PHI, Tampa, KC)   but that was only after the season was shot and everyone thought he was done for. then once he had to play a meaningful game on Sunday he crumbled right back to pre bench form. It’s like he’s only able to when it *doesnt* matter  But all just semantics tbh, we both agree that he ain’t it lol

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I'm still a big Bryce supporter. I don't look much at his rookie year as that only deepened the hole he has to climb out of. I see this past game as the 1st of his 2nd year.  Judge him based off of his play after his benching.  No argument that is play those first two games last year were about as bad as it gets.  No question. This is the start of year 2 for Canales and he was out coaches against the Jags but I like his process and how he goes about things.  I like that he, Morgan and Tillis seem like a unit and on the same path. Saying we never should have drafted him based on his height and weight is a valid opinion but he was a universal top pick in the draft and elite talent coming out.  I have seen little evidence those are still issues.  He is physical enough to take some monster hits and I don't see a limit to his passing due to his height. The lack of arm strength is a tired argument.  He has the physical ability to make all the necessary NFL throws.   Of course he doesn't have the cannon Cam did coming out but he also doesn't have Cams accuracy and throwing with touch issues.  They are different players and Bryce has a ton of work to do just to be in Cams shadow. Bryce IS part of the problem but he isn't the problem.  His play the last half of the season last year was impressive and showed a ton of growth and improvement. Outside of Horn, Nola and Chuba the whole team and staff looked severely off and not ready.   If Dave calls a great game and other players play average NFL level football and Bryce still plays like this that is when we'll actually have as big an issue at QB as the haters believe. The issues are team wide and it's one game. Also, I like Tepper.

      WR drops

      By CRA · Posted

      They aren't credited with drops.   That's just PFF.  Not sure why they are still being pimped this hard when week 1 really highlights how bad they can be at times.  Especially when they manufactured Bryce's grade like they did.  Some 1984 stuff going on there....PFF telling folks not to believe their eyes and ears.
