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.:)

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
