A Cautionary Tale; RE: Davis ACL


Zcustom

Recommended Posts

Some of you may remember the 2002 breakout season of Mark Fields. He played lights out and we expected to have the formidable trio of Fields, Morgan, and Witherspoon as our starters in 2003.

Fields was diagnosed with Hodgkins disease before the 03 season and was put on IR. His spot was filled by Greg Favors, who many considered a scrub, and all the chicken littles threw themselves out the nearest window.

We did ok in 2003:cheers2:

regardless of who plays for TD, the trainers and coaches are at fault. they have the final say if TD can practice or not, they should of had him sit and do stretches and other drills but they fuged up! now the panthers have 2 move on and figure out who will play in his spot, i wold rather have james anderson play at WLB and have connor/norwood/ williams fight it out for the other LB position. TD has no1 else 2 blame but himself and the trainers it sux, ya but we will be fine becuz it happened in june and not in november again. as long as the players we have know the system and know how 2 go 2 the ball with speed like our D consiists of doing then we will have no problem. someone else mentioned that if beason williams or kalil not sure but if these guys got injured then yea we would be in trouble, maybe not so much for kalil even tho hes a beast. but when you have a guy like beason who is the next coming of ray lewis if not better IMO ( stats dont lie) beason makes every1 around him play with fire like he does, if any1 looks at vides of our team they play with fire becuz of beason. we will be fine and make the playoffs every1 is hating on us but this injury wont stop us, it sux cuz td migt not be a panther but we have beason and a great young group of talent. so sorry for the long story ha, good luck 2 greece in the 2010 world cup and hopefully the panthers dont get hit wit the injury bug like last year

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
