Thomas would prefer to retire in Carolina

Panthers restricted free agent WLB Thomas Davis said ideally he'd like to sign a long-term deal with Carolina. "It's definitely my preference," Davis said. "I'm from Georgia, so I'm close to home. I love Carolina and they have been good to me and my family. I'm excited about being here and I want to finish my career here."

This may have been quoted somewhere else, I apologize if it has. This has been assumed by a lot of people, but it's good to hear him say it.

Most folks prefer to play for the team that drafted them. That is until the money is involved. Players and agents know this is a business and that is the bottom line. As long as we pay him fairly he will stay here. He won't pull a Peppers on us.

i hope so, keeping him and beason around as long as possible will make our LB core one of the best in the league for a long time.

i know a lot of guys say this type of thing, but part of me thinks he really means it. I see him at almost every bobcats game that i attend.

I used to see Chris Harris at a lot of Bobcats Games :(

Just from reading his Twitter, Chris Harris seems like the kind of guy who supports the other professional teams in the city he plays for, since he's heavily rooting for the Chicago Blackhawks at the moment.

TD was at a benefit party at my best friend's parent's house - they couldn't believe how nice he was. Friend's dad was showing him around the house and in the office dad had a Panthers football. TD asked why it didn't have autographs and dad said that he was 64 years old and just didn't have the time nor inclination to get autographs. TD said that he'd take it to the stadium and get all the players to sign it.

Harris said on FNZ shortly after the trade back to Chicago that one of the things he would miss the most about Charlotte was attending Bobcats games.

Reading the title of this thread made me think it was talking about Hollis Thomas.

u r definately right about being one of the top lb corps for a long time. i hope TD retires as a panther becuz he has been nothing but great for us. he is def a top 5 WLB in the game.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
