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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
