Thomas Davis tears ACL


Gazi

Recommended Posts

I fell sick for TD. One of my favorite Panthers.

That said, maybe there is a silver lining to this and the Beason injury. Maybe this will force the front office to consider things like value and injury risk when resigning players. I love Beason and TD and Williams but look around the league, all the top teams don't value RBs and LBs. The dropoff in production isn't enough to warrant us valuing each position like we do currently. Would anyone be surprised if Thomas Williams came in and tore it up? I for one am excited about seeing what Thomas Williams can do.

This is unreal.

And I know it's not as big a deal-from a team standpoint- as it seems.

LB is the deepest position on the team and we still have a formidable LB corps in JA, Gaither, and Connor, with two very good back ups behind them, and I know we protected ourselves financially...But this blows hard. For TD, and for us. Godfrey is the lone Team Captain on D now, too.

I could very well see us using a first rounder on a LB next year.

Hell No!!! Are yall serious??!!!! It seems like every position that takes a injury hit on this team the first thing somebody says is lets use 1st rd pick next year to replace that person. Beason, Anderson, and Connor are solid starters in this league LB is still the deepest position on the team we have more important needs. Now if Beason ends up goin down for his career then yeah it would make sense. You dont need 3 absolute studs at LB to win a championship, would be nice but that's overdoing it If you are upgrading a team.

Beason and Connor are stud MLB's, not OLB's. I'm not saying we need to spend a first rounder on an outside linebacker, but we sure as fug will need help at that position. Keeping Connor in the middle and moving Beason back outside is a horrible, horrible idea IMO.

Connor can't play OLB, and I know you aren't dumb enough to suggest we move Beason back out there.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
