[Argus Plexus]

Meh Big Cat is classier than that, wasn't really funny

[SuperMan]

TD is a classy guy, one of my favorites I really hope he can stay healthy because he brings a play maker to our LB core.

[Snake]

Hope TD can come back for the season. Def a good guy that has bad luck.

[pantherclaw]

Davis is a warrior, and a play maker.

just thinking about all the ways our coaches will br able to use him on defense, is very exciting.

May see him back on special teams.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'm not holding my breath about Davis, but he would add some serious versatility to the offense. Just imagine a D as diverse and creative as our offense was.

[PantherPhann89]

Davis won't have to come in and go all out b/c Kuechly is here. He'll be able to rotate in and make plays.

[Gazi]

That's a HOF heart in an injured body. I wish every one of our players had the heart of TD.

[CLG]

^^ We're changing the mentality of the team now, wont be long.

"I fully expect the Carolina Panthers to win the Super Bowl next year. That's my expectations," Davis said. "Everybody's talking about (how) we'll make the playoffs. So what? Anybody can make the playoffs. We're trying to win the Super Bowl."

Those lofty expectations are new for Davis. While he said the Panthers' goal was to win the Super Bowl last year, he said he did not truly expect for it to happen in 2011.

"Last year we didn't really know what to expect," Davis said. "We had a new offense. Everything was new. We didn't really have time to come together in the offseason because of the lockout. So we really went into last season not knowing what to expect."

"As a team, your goal every year should be to win the Super Bowl. That's what it was going in. But it was a lot different last year than this year right now because we know what to expect from our offense. We know what kind of defensive guys we've got once we get out there and get everybody healthy and put it all together. So we know what we're capable of doing. It's all about going out and executing and doing it."

i absolutely love it. sounds like that confidence and level of expectation is prevelant throughout the team. i believe they can pull it off.

i absolutely love it. sounds like that confidence and level of expectation is prevelant throughout the team. i believe they can pull it off.

I do realize that as fans we are programmed to have high expectations. But there is a different felling this year. Which is why I believe there is so much harping going on now. Because we have our Franchise QB, some fans are less patient than others. Whether it is the instant world or just self absorbsion, there are fans that cannot wait for the team to be a finished product.

I also realize that the negative nancy types have been around a long time, and they are not going anywhere soon. The good thing is they are a minority. With a side effect of most being more entertaining than annoying.

When you are young you have to let the talent play out. It is an unfortunate neccessiity of building. We are close, close enough to be scary. If the if's get answered, we will take another step up the ladder. The next off-season very welll could finish the building proccess, which should finish that climb, and position us on the verge of that elite group.

Being scary is cool, don't get me wrong. But I am positively giddy over the prospects for the future.

I have a request. Please do not use a players college performance against him. Plenty of players blossom when they hit the big time. It is called exceeding expectations, and it happens quite a bit. It is the main reason fans get excited over young players. Is this the guy that explodes? It is the reason I go to Training Camp.

Ah hell, unlike the Panthers, I am finished. And WE WILL HAVE A MUCH IMPROVED D THIS YEAR.

[TheRed]

He's a hell of a player and person. Shame his body isn't as strong as his will.

[SIGCHI222]

As a Georgia boy myself, Davis is my second favorite Bulldog of all-time behind Herschel. He makes it back from 3 ACL's he will move into first with a bullet. Class and heart.
