Thomas Davis NOT Retiring

That knee is done. Dont mean to be negative here, but tearing it 3 different times would let me know I can't do what I used to anymore. And he's not getting younger

Met with Dr. Andrews today. He doesn't see a reason why I wont be able to play next season. Having surgery in the a.m.

i hope he doesn't. my hopes will be exactly what they were for him this year. that he can come back and get back to his dominant self. i don't expect it, but i still hope it. they need his personality and leadership in that lockerroom and if he isn't hurt he's one of the best in the league.

i want him back and healthy. we should plan on that (him being healthy) not happening, though.

Nobody said he can't play but I'm pretty sure the risk of tearing it again in this dangerous sport is pretty high. A lot of contact and a lot of cutting and running. By time next year come he'll be 29

I dont understand why someone would want to continue going through rehab like he has

Yeah... I'm of the same mind.

And actually, not retiring is putting the team in a worse position. Even if you do return, you might not be 100%, you might tear it again, and now you've taken cap room up that could go to a couple young bloods that want to come out and make a name for themselves.

No disrepect intended here... but Davis needs to take one for the team.

The guy loves football, this is his drive, this is what he loves. This is what he was born to do.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
