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.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
