It seems every year around now there isn't too much to discuss and I always tend to realize how awesome Thomas Davis is. Behind Harris & Beason, TD is extremely important to our defensive chemistry, cohesiveness, and overall play. At times, he becomes a very under-appreciated aspect of our team.

Hard-hitter, multi-talented, now an extremely solid vet. And I hate to look at stats too much, but his best "on-paper" year was in fact last season:

113 Tackles

3.5 Sacks

2 Forced Fumbles

here's to TD :cheers2:

He's easily the most underrated player on the team, from a fan aspect and also where the media is concerned. He had a slow start due to a less than perfect transition from S to SLB to S to SLB to WLB but he's finally come into his own and I can't wait to see him again this year. He is the Lance Briggs to the Brian Urlacher if you will.

From a post of mine a couple weeks ago:

Let's face it, the guy is 26 years old, has escalated his impact every year, and is now playing next to an All-Pro 24 year old team leader."

And he really knows how to bring the wood.

I have met the guy. Solid character off the field, if you ask me. I met him during the foulness that was a couple of months ago, when the Peppers saga took a turn for the worst. The guy had nothing bad to say about the situation, he just praised Pep for his hard work and wished him the best.

I did joke with him at the time about how I held off on the #90 jersey, so I could buy the #34. He was like...man, why not the #58????

Easily one of my top five favorite Panthers

Not at all surprising. He's a keeper and I don't think he has come close to his potential. 26 years old.:)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
