You can say that the Panthers are a football team and not a foundation, and they have a compelling reason to retain Davis.

I could say it, but I’d rather show it to you.

Saturday night, a frenzied blitz, and here comes Davis sprinting wide around a blocker and touching the quarterback. Players aren’t wearing pads so a touch is a sack. The quarterback cheats and completes a short pass. Davis takes off after the receiver.

And makes “the tackle seven or eight yards downfield,” says Beason. “Any time you see freakish plays like that you know he’s back to his normal self. He’s going to help us out. He’s a freakish athlete. I’ve never seen any linebacker that athletic, that fast, still.”

which knee? didn't he blow them both?

Yes. One knee he's tore twice.

When you come back from an injury like this, it's not uncommon for this to happen because the healthy tendon/ligament/muscle/joint assumes more pressure due to the inadequate support from the other.

I know that poster who called my post "garbage" wants to get pie & rep off of me, but no player in the NFL has ever successfully returned from 3 devastating ACL injuries.

Like I said, Davis is one of my all time favorite Panthers, but I'll bet $100 PayPal right now he doesn't make it through the season. Any takers?

Why would you bet against one of your supposedly favorite Panther players to sustain a career ending injury. Hard to be rooting for a player to do well and recover when you have 100 bucks riding on his getting hurt.

Makes no sense at all.

Touchdown your an a hole. TD knows there is a very high risk of tearing his knee apart again for a fourth time, and yet he is still out there playing football, trying to help his team be better. He has bigger balls than you ever will, and hating on a guy who is trying his best to just be with his team and play shows how ignorant you are.

Like other have said, I support TD no matter what happens. Excellent player, teammate, and person.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
