If Davis And Beason Miraculously Come Back Healthy

[panther4life]

Davis will not be starting...even if his knee is finally healthy, he's blown it out three times. There is a mental toll that takes on you. You're going to play a bit scared not to damage it again. If he can still play, he'd be great depth, but I don't see him being the same player physically or mentally.

They had no problem starting him after the first 2 tears and he looked fine until he tore it again last year. I am hoping that having it done by Dr. Andrews this time will pay dividends

Got a link for that cause I can't find it.

Give me a second. I think it was an audio clip. It is nothing negative...

Didn't figure it was negative coming from the FO. Just wanted to read/hear the whole thing.

SLB - Anderson

MLB - Beason

WLB - TD

If Luke wants one of their starting spots, then he'll have to take it from them with superior play, or wait for an injury. Rivera would never risk losing the respect of his players by sitting TD for Luke unless Luke came out and proved he was the better option. TD will start if he's ready to play and can beat out the competition. It's not fair to the team or to TD to have him play sparingly to avoid injury. If the acl snaps, then so be it.

Not fair? Most teams would have already cut him.

I honestly don't think Beason will be starting in the first game or 2. After he tried coming back a bit too early last year the team doesnt want to see him try and go all out until he is absolutely ready. With that said I think Anderson definitely starts at Sam. Kuechly will start at Mike. Beason and Davis will rotate in at Will, but one of the other guys (Williams, Senn, or Phillips) will start and get most of the play time at first. I also think Luke will stay at Mike all season unless he struggles. This is where he has experience, so it will be an easier transition for him. Once Beason is fully healthy he will start at Will. There is so much potential for this LB core if everyone remains healthy I can't wait to see them in action.

Cutting him would be fair.

Anyone who thinks that Davis will start over Anderson is just sad........

[Marguide]

Cutting him would be fair.

The point is, they don't owe him anything. I love TD, but they do not owe him a starting position even if he is "healthy". If they decide to limit his snaps,due to his history, it is not a case of them being unfair.

Yeah, bc top 10 draft picks often get burried on the depth chart

SLB: Kuechly

Davis won't be starting anymore

A healthy player who outperforms the other players on the roster at his postion is owed a starting spot. To not give the player the starting spot that he earned is unfair imo.

The only way Luke will start over TD is if he outperforms him, or TD goes down with an injury. That's my opinion.

[panther4life]

It seems the hypothetical part of this thread was ignored. From a talent standpoint alone Beason, Davis and Kuechly(based off his college production) are our 3 best linebackers.

Anyone who thinks Anderson is better then a Healthy Davis is just sad............
