Thomas Davis will test his knee on Monday

From PFT:

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis blew out an ACL in November. On Monday, he'll run on grass for the first time since having the ligament surgically repaired.

"That's going to be huge," Davis told Charles Chandler and/or Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer. "Considering the way I've spent the last 12 weeks, Monday's going to be huge."

The performance also could have a huge impact on a decision the Panthers need to make by March 4 regarding Davis' status for 2010.

His rookie contract has expired, and he's slated to become a restricted free agent. The Panthers need to decide whether to tender him at the highest level, which would require an offer of $3.268 million and put the Panthers in line for a first-round pick and a third-round pick as compensation. For the first-round level, the tender would be only $2.621 million.

Davis had a big year in 2009, racking up 71 tackles in only seven games in the team's new Tampa 2 defense, which tends to pump up the stats of the weak side linebacker.

He's said all along he wants to remain a Panther. I have no doubt he'll live up to expectations if we manage to keep him - I don't think his injury will prevent him from getting his fair market value elsewhere - there might be some impact but the long term benefit of keeping him and he's open to staying. I think if we make a fair offer for his value, he'll sign.

Like many of you guys here, I hope we can keep him. It's a shame he blew out his knee with how he was having his career best here before the injury. I'm concern if we tag Pep & pay him for $20 millions a season, we may have trouble signing Davis. Not to mention King & others as well. :o

Well TD already said earlier this season that he wants to remain a panther. He is no pepper type person who wants to hold out and crap like that. Now it is up to the FO to sign him to long term are risk lossing a great linebacker like we did years ago with will weatherspoon to the rams. Uncap year should make it possible for to resign Dwill to long term and sign TD long term without paying the price for years to come. But for the next 2 weeks until FA begins. It is a wait and see game.

With all the Peppers drama , it makes me sometimes forget about all the other amazing athletes we are lucky enough to have on our team. Runs a 4.4 and was on pace for 160 tackles? Wow.

Sign this man. Him and Beason working together fore the next half decade will be memorable for all of us Panther fans.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
