As we tend to do as fans, we begin to take certain things for granted. I wanted to make a thread that would serve as a reminder of just how special TD is.

We all know what Davis has been through as a player and as a man with the 3 knee injuries. It swells my heart with pride to see this guy on the field each and every Sunday doing what he does.

So far this season TD has 25 total tackles a sack and a pass defensed. He's on pace for his second consecutive 100+ tackle season. He has assumed a strong role as a leader of this defense recently issuing the challenge to the DBs to make a play. Playing beside Luke makes it hard to stand out but any Panthers fan worth his salt knows what TD means to us.

Davis is literally a walking, nay, running miracle. We should be in awe every time he steps on the field. I for one could not be any more proud of this guy as he is a true testament to what it means to "Keep Pounding".

Couldn't agree more.   Get a huge grin when 58 comes out of the pile.

This guy is a great example of passion and love of the game. Any other player would have just hung up his cleats after the last knee injury but this guy kept fighting. This guy is truly blessed and it's a honor to have some one like him on our team. So much love for him

 

So true.  He is receiving a fraction of what Beason has and plays like a god.  One of the players on our team you can feel the passion from.  Cam, Smitty, Kuechly to name a few others.

 

After he blew it out the 3rd time I was.  HE'S DONE.    Here he is almost two years removed and he is playing lights out again.   He was on his way to the Pro Bowl when he got hurt in 2009.  He'll make it this year if he stays healthy.  (I hope)

 

Go Panthers

blessed? the man suffered 3 acl tears on the same knee.

 

will and determination brought him back.

Make no mistake about it bro... He has been blessed.

Sometimes God needs to humble people, sometimes people take control of their own lives and don't leave it to the will of God. We are all servants. Sometimes even believers tend to forget this. God has blessed this man and healed him so that he can still play the game he loves.

There's nothing wrong with people who disagree with my words and I'm not trying to preach a sermon... I'm just sayin'... I bet if you asked him, he'd tell you that he's blessed.

Sometimes life happens, accidents happen. It's when u hit rock bottom that life becomes really clear to a person. That's when you realize why there's only one set of footprints in the sand.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
