Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

[philw5289]

I love hearing Panthers stories on different podcasts but honestly Mike Davis just seemed really salty and whiny in general.

Sounds like a better coach would properly sub his players and overrule a ball hog. But you know Rhule was an all time candy ass. 

Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.  

also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC. 

from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

Someone is salty they didn’t get playing time. 

[csx]

He should be salty. When called upon he was the driving force for the most successful run we've had since 2017.

Listen to the clip, it doesn't come off nearly as serious as the print makes it seem. 

 I'm a fan of Raw Room, and this was a great episode. Mike was telling a lot of stories from all his teams.

Mike Davis almost went full DeAngelo. You never go full DeAngelo.

There's a bizarre fondness the fanbase has for CMC, but I was absolutely thrilled when we got rid of him and still maintain that, at face value, we absolutely fleeced the 49ers on the trade, especially if Bryce Young pans out.  They got what we had.  Someone who was great in stretches followed by long stretches of injury. 

Nah dude he won an OPOY there and dominated on the way to an OT Super Bowl loss. What did the picks we got even lead to? Bryce isn’t panning out

the DeAngelo story arc feels like it belongs in one of those comic book movies.

Needing to move on from him because we were a dumpster fire (and still are) - I agree

Saying we fleeced the 49ers is something... We 100% didn't (at least not yet). He was fully healthy the season he went there and the year after. Obviously last year didn't go too well for him on the injury front. If he continues to miss half a season or more the rest of the time with the 49ers, then I agree. Otherwise, we lost the trade

He straight up says multiple times throughout the episode that he was an "angry child" and has calmed down a lot after the league.

Like, yea, he was cocky but the amount of players that make the NFL that aren't are relatively slim. He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier would talk grimey to people and even told a story about how a teammate requested help with overcoming addiction and the very next day they tested and booted him. He acknowledged that he was a good coach but that he didn't like him as a person. Spurrier told him that he needed to carry himself more like Lattimore, not the ball.

My dawg, I get that you're down on the team and anything that isn't Clemson, but at this point it's coming across that you're willfully dismissing facts in favor of a chosen narrative whether it's regarding Bryce, the Teppers, Canales, or now Mike Davis.

Best sports pod bar none.

The Chris Long/Nate Collins episode this week was fun. They gave poor Jalen Hell for that Super Bowl.

[LinvilleGorge]

I wouldn't call it "facts". I'd call it the account of a career marginal backup who evidently thought he should've been taking more snaps from one of the best in the league at his position. Seems borderline delusional to me.

We've seen him flat out deny video presented to him in regards to other issues, just like this one. It has definitely gotten to the point of denial, or delusion, whichever you'd prefer.
