Does Your Opinion of Thomas Davis Change?

[zacka77ack]

Just because I am curious...

There isn't a soul here that doesn't respect TD. He is the epitome of who you want playing on your team. He passes the eye test with flying colors and seems like a genuine, all around great person. I respect him. I adore his attitude and the way he carries himself off the field.

But.

Lets imagine that this decision was made because he wanted an extension, wasn't being offered one and he reached out to JR to express his displeasure. Lets imagine we get a "yes" man for a GM. Let's imagine that this extension starts a string of bad deals for aging stars and lets imagine we fall back into cap hell, and have no better than a 7-9 record to show for it.

Nope

we don't even have the facts yet. 

 

 

 

nothing could make me hate TD tho.

[SmokinwithWilly]

No. TD is doing what he needs to for TD. He's nearing the end of his career. To be honest, I expected to see TD dress in another team's jersey before he hangs up the cleats. 

[Cyberjag]

Still think he should get the second statue outside of the stadium.  All TD has done in your scenario is let JR know he was unhappy.  If he's THAT respected in the organization that JR would fire the GM over it, you should think about all he did to earn that respect and it hasn't changed.  All the doomsday stuff you write about is from other people's decisions anyway.

[CamMoon]

Not really. He deserves to get paid. All of these guys do. The cap should be much higher. Or there needs to be a system for players like TD to continue being compensated after they're done.

[Daddy_Uncle]

No 

1) We don't know why the firing took place

2) He will always be one of the most loved players in our franchise history and will have a statue outside of the stadium

[KSpan]

Depends a bit on what part he played, if any other than just being less than thrilled overall. If he (or any other played) actually went to JR and whined then yeah, hella lame. If JR took it upon himself to make the move based on some reactions then not necessarily his (or any other players') fault.

I doubt TD and Olsen would be the types to set this franchise back for a few mil.

It's deeper than money imho

[LinvilleGorge]

No.

1) We don't know the details.

2) Why would this change my opinion? TD has every right to voice his displeasure to JR if he so chooses.

The world would be a much easier and far more intelligent place.

No one has any facts. The entire front page of this forum is filled with people speculating. Sports talk is 100% speculation during the months of June and July. This thread is no different. We're here to discuss scenarios.

Don't forget that TD owes as much to this franchise, if not more, than the franchise does to him...
