Thomas Williams to replace Thomas Davis?

So who is in line to step up and replace TD? Thomas Williams looked pretty dang sharp in preseason action. He hits hard, reads plays well, and moves quickly. Met him briefly at training camp. Doesn't matter when it comes to on-the-field play, but he was a really genuine and nice guy.

From what I read on here I believe, his scouting report said that he doesn't have the best sideline to sideline speed, so I wouldn't really want him to be man to man against TE's if that is correct. With that said though,

He has a great motor and never seems to want to stop. I'd like to see how he could get on the field, but like other people have said, I think Gaither will eventually be the starter since TD is down. I believe thats why we even brought him here, Sean knew him in Philly, good depth and good insurance if someone went down on the outside. He reminds me of a certain LB that we use to have that could play almost any LB position named Chris Draft.

you can't really replace Davis. He has a very unique skill set. I don't think the defense was built around him but things will probably be much different from now on.

Thanks for the memories TD but lets face it he is done. For his own sake he should hang it up. I think the Panthers did right by him with the money.

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
