TD is one of those players who I kind of feel sorry for sometimes. Were it not for his multiple injuries he would have made the Pro-Bowl and a lot more money. Then he makes one of the most amazing comebacks from injury in the history of the NFL and doesn't even get acknowledged as comeback player of the year. I think he's due for more in his career. Dude is out there dominating.

 

 

Davis got a 5 year extension worth 35.5 million, making a average of 7+ million a year and was making a huge check for doing 3 years of rehab.  I'm not sure on which planet we should feel sorry for someone making more in a "year" playing sports and working out, then 99% of the world makes in lifetime of work.

 

 

Appears the original point is taken out of context.  Not to put words in someones mouth but I do believe he distinctly was referring to "players" and not "people".

If you wanted to feel sorry for Thomas Davis, you're about a year too late. Dude is probably the happiest guy on the face of the earth right now coming back from all he went through. He needed your well wishes then, now he just needs you to sit back and watch him work. One of the best in the game.

Feeling sorry got someone making millions to work out & run around playing a child's game is dumb. Regardless of the context.

 

Nobody should feel sorry for someone that makes a lot of money.........

 

..........but feeling sorry for someone that could their chance to live their passion is different........

No it isn't. If he would've been forced to retire in his mid 20s after his first injury he still would've made more money than 90% of people in the world who will work their entire life to survive.

Yet you would feel sympathy that he didn't get to play a game & make more money?

You dont have to be such a douche about this topic.  If you dont like it go read something else.  No need to get all sh*tty about other posters talking about a well liked Panthers player.  It is a football forum.  Not an economics forum.
