Not the questions I would have asked, but maybe a little hope that he can stay healthy?

I first read this as, "Is Thomas Davis really black?" My gut feeling was to answer, yes. Upon further inspection, I don't know the answer to the actual question.

I'm not holding my breath but I haven't given up all hope TD will return.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I took nothing from this.

We need to get another WLB that is all I will say.

[Lout]

If he's not, I can see us taking an LB in the 2nd round this draft.

[Dex]

I want TD back. :(

I took nothing from this.

That's why i asked it as a question. Not a statement for you to question.

Regardless if they were all related or not.....he has blown his ACL 3 times in the same knee in a short window. That makes it a ticking timebomb.

Also, there is a reason why the Panthers are the ones, not the media, who found the stat that no NFL player has ever comeback from

3 ACL injuries. They may be allowing a comeback attempt bc Davis is a good guy....but they have to understand the reality of it all.

A shame, he could of been great.

I like the confidence, especially about us winning the Super Bowl... And I really hope he comes back from this surgery 100% and doesn't have another issue with it again. I'd love to see him play the rest of his career out healthy and strong and with multiple championships.

I still remember one play he made last year before he got hurt where he came off the weak side and ran down the runner behind the LOS who was running in the opposite direction. It was amazing.

If he does make the season opener it will be short lived.

This guy is a player and I love his commitment to our team. Using his own words, we are going to be in the running for a Super Bowl!

However, he is coming back from something that has never been done, so we need to prepare as a team for his replacement.

Ideally, he can be used in situational plays, as a role model for younger players, and he should be given time to gain his strength to compete for the Super Bowl.

These actions seem reasonable to everyone.

I hope he's back, but I have a hard time believing that knee will hold up for an entire season.

TDavis is not going to disappoint. The ligs are stronger now because of the surgery than they ever were before it. I believe in fate and I believe that TD's fate is tied to Cam's and Smitty's and Beason's Otah's and Edwards' and Fua's et al. You gotta believe. :)
