David Mayo undergoes hernia surgery

I hope he has a speedy recovery and that we re sign him cheap for depth. He is a good guy who has always played hard, and was a solid contributor for a former 5th round pick. 

Panthers linebacker David Mayo recently had sports hernia surgery, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Mayo has begun his rehab and is expected to make a full recovery.

Mayo, 25, is scheduled to become a free agent next month.

He has played in 59 of 64 games since the Panthers made him a fifth-round pick in 2015. Mayo has four career starts, including three last season.

Mayo has made 36 career tackles and two pass breakups.

It'll only be cheap if he wants it to be.

Mayo was one of the ones I was worried about getting away this offseason. The surgery timing might be in the Panthers' favor, however.

I really want him back, but I expect that he could get a lot more elsewhere. Learning from Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis looks really good on your resume'.

Mayo is a serviceable special teamer.  He has looked AWFUL the past couple of years when he has had time at LB.  He's definitely regressed (from potentially having promise to now having no promise at all).  I'm fine to keep him around in the mold of a Colin Jones, but he should never see the field at LB, just like Colin should never see the field at safety or nickel.  I say we just let his ass go, and keep Andre Smith and Carter, then draft a LB late.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
