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.

    • First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????
    • I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field. 
    • Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
