Just watching the bobcats game on sportssouth..and they commentators said "Well its good to see Thomas Davis here tonight..blah blah...he said his target date back on the field is November 14th, it'll be good to see him back on the field for the panthers."

obviously thats not exactly comma for comma what they said..but for all immediate purposes it is. interesting...

He keeps blowing it out. If they were smart they would IR him and let him rest it till next season. It takes about 6 to 8 months for it to totally heal and about two full years before your brain tells you you can trust it as a player. IR him, our defense can survive without him this year. Especially since we are playoff bound at this point!

So if he sees the field on the 14th, he should be ready to start by December given he needs time to get up to game condition. We should see by that time if we want to keep things as they are and use him in a rotation or change things up and start him. Hopefully injuries don't dictate that.

A player who begins the regular season on the PUP list must sit out his team's first six games.

OK, that happened last week

After that point, a team has three weeks to start having the player practice; once the player begins practicing,

So theres your Nov 14th reference

the team has another three weeks to put the player on the active roster.

There's the date to watch for if he has any chance of playing this year.

If the player is not activated by that time, or if he does not begin practicing within that three week window, he must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season

So in essence - if physically able and no problems with pain, strength, stamina - you might have him for 4 games - more if by some miracle we make the playoffs - this could very well be his audition.

I could see where he would want to play this year and show the management that he is worth holding onto in case the lock out does not happen. You hate to see your value decline or become into question because you had a "season ending injury" before TC even started.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that's so obsessed they delve into player psychology.

I was thinking about something similar with Smith, and how his sprain ankle could have actually been a good thing for him. After breaking his arm twice you could tell he was hesitant about it, and he admitted to it, in the beginning of the season, so when he twisted his ankle, I kept wondering if this new injury and the pain of walking on it took his mind off his arm.

It's a real backwards way of looking at it, but it's kind of fighting fire with fire.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
