You know if TD hadn't of gotten hurt those 2 1/2 seasons we might be talking about our first HOFer.  He was having a Pro Bowl season the year he got hurt.  I would go on a limb and say if he has a couple more really outstanding seasons he may just have an outside chance anyhow.

 

Gale Sayers made it the HOF though he had played less than most RB in the Hall.  Davis's e ACL story is going to put him on the list when he finally retires.  We can only hope he gets in.

 

Regardless he will be in the Panther Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor and should have a statue at BOA.  I know I would stand in line to have a picture next to it.  The man is a class act through and through and an outstanding role model for any young kid. 

 

People bitch about JR all the time but as a former player he knows what it takes.  He knew all along TD heart was as big as the football field he plays on.  I admired the Panthers for standing by him. 

 

The last day he wears a Panther uniform will be a very sad day.  A great LB, a great player, A great leader and most importantly A great man.

Unfortunately he gets no recognition for his play on the field. As panther fans we know that luke and td are actually really close in terms of performance. You can even legitimately argue td is better. Unfortunately 4-3 olbs are overlooked in this league.

He already is one of the greatest in our short history.

He's the only player that I've heard fans unanimously say should have a statue at boa

 

you've heard fans oppose putting up a statue of Smitty? just curious.

 

i definitely agree with you though about TD. ive never heard someone oppose a statue of him.

yeah, I'm biased, and he'll still be my favorite player we've ever had until the day I die, but I can't see how #89 isn't going to be a sure-fire statue.

 

That said, Davis' story is a shoo-in for a movie.  Far more inspirational than Oher's...

TD needs a biography about him after he retires.

"A Football Life: Thomas Davis"... all in favor?

 

though if Sam Mills hasnt had his "A Football Life" special, i doubt TD gets the first Panther nod for that show...
