Would you re-sign the Panther LEGEND Thomas Davis.......

I see a lot of people simply saying to get rid of TD so that we can get younger and because it would be a departure from past Panthers' protocol, but are those sound reasons?

The fact remains that Shaq has disappointed and he's set to hit us for nearly $10M against the cap next season. TD is hitting us for $4M this season. Shaq underwhelmed in his audition in TD's role during TD's suspension. You want to pay $10M for that? Not me. I'd much rather give TD another $4M next season, let Shaq walk, and put that $6M on cap change to better use.

Granted, this is assuming that's even an option. I know TD had talked earlier in the season about wanting to continue playing but I'm not sure if that will be the case considering how we finished the season and likely with a new coaching staff next season.

If he wants to come back on a team friendly deal? With so many holes to fill, would he be good enough for one more year? He has been playing great as of late.

Dude Wants to Retire.. If he wants to play one more year Carolina will sign him.. he's not got going to ask for goofy contract!! He loves Carolina!

No. TD is my dude, but no

This culture of coddling veterans that are past their primes is why we’re not a winning franchise. We need to get young and fast. If that means rebuilding, so be it 

This is a business, and the goal is to win a championship. This may ruffle some feathers, but we need some cutthroat personalities that are only obsessed with winning like Gettleman, Bellicheck Sean Payton, Parcells etc...

Let's see....former NFL man of the year, still productive (just not as productive)----why would you not?  His career personifies on the field what Keep Pounding means.  He and Luke think in the same brain....Yes--you hold him for another year if he is willing to play for a team-friendly deal.

No.  It's time to let go.  Time for the old guard to step down and move on.  I know it hurts but it's a new day and a new era in Pantherland.

Thanks for the memories TD.  You were the man for a long time.  Bless up good sir.

lol people thinking TD will chase a ring elsewhere...If the Panthers don't give him one more, he will probably retire. 

Old people don't like change. :0

Godspeed to The Greatest Panther.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
