Panthers restricted free agent WLB Thomas Davis said ideally he'd like to sign a long-term deal with Carolina. "It's definitely my preference," Davis said. "I'm from Georgia, so I'm close to home. I love Carolina and they have been good to me and my family. I'm excited about being here and I want to finish my career here."

This may have been quoted somewhere else, I apologize if it has. This has been assumed by a lot of people, but it's good to hear him say it.

Most folks prefer to play for the team that drafted them. That is until the money is involved. Players and agents know this is a business and that is the bottom line. As long as we pay him fairly he will stay here. He won't pull a Peppers on us.

i hope so, keeping him and beason around as long as possible will make our LB core one of the best in the league for a long time.

i know a lot of guys say this type of thing, but part of me thinks he really means it. I see him at almost every bobcats game that i attend.

I used to see Chris Harris at a lot of Bobcats Games :(

Just from reading his Twitter, Chris Harris seems like the kind of guy who supports the other professional teams in the city he plays for, since he's heavily rooting for the Chicago Blackhawks at the moment.

TD was at a benefit party at my best friend's parent's house - they couldn't believe how nice he was. Friend's dad was showing him around the house and in the office dad had a Panthers football. TD asked why it didn't have autographs and dad said that he was 64 years old and just didn't have the time nor inclination to get autographs. TD said that he'd take it to the stadium and get all the players to sign it.

Harris said on FNZ shortly after the trade back to Chicago that one of the things he would miss the most about Charlotte was attending Bobcats games.

Reading the title of this thread made me think it was talking about Hollis Thomas.

u r definately right about being one of the top lb corps for a long time. i hope TD retires as a panther becuz he has been nothing but great for us. he is def a top 5 WLB in the game.

      We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you honestly believe this is a team that will even be in contention for a playoff spot this year? To me, if you're not at minimum a genuine playoff caliber team, every win you get is a meaningless win in the end.  This is the NFL, it's not peewee league where you just want to win a few games and have fun, you want to get into the playoffs and have a shot at making a SB run. We haven't had a winning season in how many years?   Does "enjoying" a small handful of wins every year really make for an enjoyable season for you? I said it months ago and I'll say it forever, I don't care about winning or losing this year, as we don't have a playoff caliber roster yet and I'm a realist about where we are as a franchise.  I'd enjoy watching the games so much more if the team and Bryce in particular were just showing marked improvement, even if it came in losses.   Because THAT would give me hope for the future of the franchise and the direction we're going. Bryce was complete garbage in Week 1, in Week 2 he was terrible until the Cardinals went into super soft prevent defense and then collapsed gain when the game was in reach, and he was a serviceable game manager today, but didn't make any throws that any college QB couldn't make. This game was a perfect chance to let Bryce go out there and play loose because of the lead, just let him be himself and see if it sparks his college self.  But instead, we went unbelievably conservative with the play calling to help ensure the win, when actual wins and losses are the least of our worries this year, it's figuring out what Bryce can be (fans may be decided, but the team obviously has not yet).

      I’m pretty sure Baker requested to be released.

      Pretty fair assessment overall. I can’t say a lot since I didn’t watch but going by the comments I am betting he (Canales) was very conservative and a large reason would be to prevent Bryce giving it away half the day.
