Thomas Davis Watch

[KillerKat]

One of Davis or Anderson will be on the bench. Can't let a top ten pick play backup.

I don't see Anderson getting benched. He was the only reliable LB last season and solid and hasn't given a reason to be benched.

[Pantherman]

Say TD makes it a full season

and Beason gets close to be being Beason again

what to we do?

Kick Anderson to the curb, do we kick TD to the curb?

WHAT DO

Gave you pie accident. Oh well enjoy it. LOL Anderson will not be kicked and TD will most likely stay as a backup so long as he doesn't go down again with the knee.

Thomas Davis Suicide Watch is a more appropriate title.

just like when we had beason davis and diggs. everyone thought FA landon johnson would start over diggs but in the end he was just good LB depth. I see thomas pretty much just mentoring over kuechly

[Pantherman]

Here how I see it will be Anderson,Beason, and Luke starting, TD become backup and good one at that if he stays healthy. Putting TD as a Backup and use him on passing downs like on 3rd down. That will give TD more time to completely heal and prolong his career as a panther and in the NFL. Don't see the panthers releasing TD unless they have a reason to. TD will be here come week one as a backup most likely.

As long as TD is healthy our starters will be Davis-Kuechly-Beason

a healthy TD is an impact player Anderson is not.

Kuechly reminds me of Urlacher.

So we just sit a guy that we just paid 8.5 million to play for us and was our lead tackler last year.... Makes total since.

[HeatCheck]

When he's healthy, the LBs will likely be Kuechly - Beason - Davis.

Davis isn't going anywhere for the time being. He's the 2nd best LB on the team.

How would that work exactly? Davis at the SLB? That doesn't sound right.

It makes more sense than putting a guy who is less of a play maker on the field.

Anderson is the epitome of a "JAG" just a guy, he is consistent but unremarkable.

Thomas Davis if healthy is a game changer with his speed, hitting power and instincts.

[BEASTfromdaEAST]

Beason and TD are still huge ? marks. This kid can start immediately for us and make an impact. People say "he cant blitz" its because he was never asked to, you tell this kid to blitz the QB and he is gunna try to knock his head off and have a good chance of doin it.

I wouldn't be shocked if we add another LB later in 5th or 6th

p.s. WHY DOES ANDERSON GET SO MUCH HATE FROM YOU PUNK ASS PEOPLE. DOGGIN ON A VERY SLEPT ON LB. STOP HATING!!!!!

SMH

You call Anderson Consistent but you replace him with a guy that was the most consistent LB in Collage ball. There is irony somewhere in there.

Cool, no problem Cold Cat... Maybe he'll rotate with Davis. this will help Davis prolong his career and bolster our LB core.

Yeah, this is the most insightful post I've read so far.

No not really because in my scenario Keulchy is replacing Beason at MLB were I think he may be better than Beason (at 6'3 his height makes him a tougher matchup for TE's) and Beason replaces Anderson. (until TD inevitably gets hurt)

[cookinbrak]

Davis played Safety at Georgia. . . if they are really at a log jam at LB maybe he could compete at Safety? Just thinkin outloud here

We could use a good Safety. And it causes less wear on the knees. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

So now we are hoping for a player to get hurt so we can shift our Pro bowl MLB to Sam so our 1st round pick will fit. Yea I like were this is going.
