Hate to say this but...

The Panthers ultimately chose to begin an era without Thomas Davis, it's as simple as that. It would hurt me to see him in another uniform, especially the Saints, but just because we made the decision to move on doesn't mean his life is now effectively over. Some of you really need to take a step back and ponder why you think you own these guys or something.

If he goes to a rival out of spite then he wasn’t ever a real friend. He can go and never come back. We need to get some new players who will put these defectors to the saints on the retirement couch. Ginn, Klein, and Coleman can all get fuged.

I’m not really too worried about TD going to any rival.  He’s an average linebacker at this point let’s be honest with ourselves.   

Im not too worried about Davis' impact on the field. It will be what he brings to the film room and pre-game planning to a rival which will be scary

You seem to be describing a coaching job there.  Why would a team use a valuable roster spot on a coach?

Too many fans forget that this is their job. Just like most people, most players tend to work for the organization willing to compensate them the best.

A player can bring valuable information to another team in terms of what type of plays a team runs, tendencies they have, and how players play.

I could see Chicago also. 

Didn't Mongo McMichael spend something like 15 years in Chicago and then sign with Green Bay his final year?

Lord knows there been plenty of fanbases that have seen well known and loved players finish their career somewhere else.

Heck, it's not like Davis is even the first for us.

And protest though we might, the reality is most of us would likely do the same thing if we were in their shoes.

Understood, and agree. 

But if PED58 isn't going to play why waste a valuable roster spot on him?  Pay him a commensurate salary and give him a clipboard and leave the roster spots for those expected to play.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Have to stop making everything about BY. They will and have been bringing in players to improve the TEAM, not just Bryce Young. Which is something they should have done BEFORE bringing in a rookie QB. Even Metchie is a generally good pickup at a position of need. He just happens to have played with BY in college. And that doesn't hurt his chances or the team's. Morgan just addressed the biggest areas of need on the team via free agency so they won't be reaching for a position of need in the draft. He's legit picking the best player available for the TEAM in the draft. The o-line was in shambles in 2023. He addressed it in 2024. The d-line was in shambles in 2024. He addressed it in 2025. The pass rush and linebackers were in shambles in 2025. He's addressed it in 2026. Unfortunately good young WRs don't hit the FA market, so can't just throw money at them. You have to draft them. I wonder what some would be saying if they'd spent the amount of cap on the offense that they spent on the defense in 2025 and 2026 - and then used both first round draft picks on defense. Would that have been better in your eyes? No. You would be complaining that the defense is too young to compete and more vets weren't brought in because they're trying to prop up BY. This team should be talented enough now to make some noise in the South. If BY is actually holding them back, then QB will be addressed in 2027. They benched him 2 games into their tenure and you think they're tied to his success. No. That doesn't compute. They're tied to the team's success. BY could throw for 5000 yards and if they're 4 - 13, head's will roll.  TLDR: Their decisions aren't driven by making BY look good. They're trying to improve the team and win games. Period.

      I still firmly believe that Tepper still has his mandate of make Bryce work or get fired and because of that, it doesn't matter how badly he does... He'll get a long term deal in the 40-50m range and set back this franchise for a decade. Then the Teppers will have another QB infatuation and maybe they get it right then.
