Cutting ties with Thomas Davis will have more negative effects on the Panthers than cutting ties with Steve Smith

The thing is that he still so much better than Shaq Thompson. If you watch Shaq’s on film those 4 first games it was mistake after mistake after mistake, he’s a low IQ linebacker that would rather make a big hit than tackle correctly. He constantly messing up assingnments, running in the wrong lanes and for a guy who was a hybyrd safety in college he can’t cover squat.

 

I won’t be surprised if our run D regresses a ton next season.

it appears to me the panthers handled this pretty well.  They told him as soon as they made their decision and let him decide when and how to make it public.  

Whats the problem with that?  

Keeping him in limbo for another month + or alluding to it during a presser at the combine would be much worse.

Could be this is a message about culture change. I hope it isn't because TD doesn't deserve that.

It's called a rebuild but unfortunately we are rebuilding with prob the worst duo we have had in Panthers history.

Hate to see him go, but I can understand it. Honestly, I don't see how any of the big name DE prospects in the draft make it to our pick, so if Devin White somehow slips to us I would be ecstatic if we could grab him. His sideline to sideline athletic ability would help replicate a younger TD and make us forget about Shaq if need be.

TD is the consummate Panther. He gave us many great years and was well compensated for it. Sometimes guys just dont know when its over and it's tough, but we are an old, noncompetitive team. We have started a rebuild that if done right makes us truly competitive in a couple of years. It was just time.

^^This.

Everyone calling TD washed, must not have seen Shaq the supposed air apparent play.  Plus gonna have to pay him 9 + mill?   It's crazy.   

Very well possible over the summer TD falls off the cliff, I just didn't see it.  TD at 80% better than 95% of the other linebackers in the league.   Oh well sometimes it's better to make a year to early instead of year to late, but the people acting like he was a liability on the field are stupid clowns.

TD could still play and we could have brought him back cheap. Now we have another hole we know that Shaq can't fill his shoes. 

David Mayo is more than capable of playing that position.  He is also a FA.  I wouldn’t be shocked if the Panthers know that Mayo is the LB of the future and would be unlikely to resign here with Davis still on the roster, as he would want a starting gig somewhere.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
