Thomas Davis Back Running, Plans to be Back Midseason

Ridiculous. I know he wants to get back out there and play asap, but I wish he would take his time so we know he's good for the long-term...

Thomas Davis is holding out hope that he will play this season.

The Panthers' linebacker, attempting to come back from his second torn ACL in his right knee in a seventh-month period, believes he is on track to return this year.

"We're just hoping and wishing that everything keeps going the way that it is right now, and I should be back midway through the season," Davis said Thursday. "That's the goal, and right now we're on course to actually making that."

...

The 27-year-old Davis, the Panthers' first-round pick in 2005, continues to rehab the knee and began running last week.

"I was able to go out and do the conditioning running with the team. I think a lot of people were surprised to see me out there doing that," Davis said. "It's just a credit to our trainers and how well of a job they've done. We understand that this is the second go-round and we're being a lot more cautious with it now."

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
