There's no Panther I respect more than TD

Simple as that. If you could make a team of 53 players exactly like him you would never lose.

I agree man

I would love to see Anderson, Beason, and TD on the field at the same time all season…is that so hard to ask?

So is this an official report? I keep seeing him say constantly “ill be back ill be back” but the Panthers FO seems mum on it all the time

Rivera and Hurney havent said much about what the future is but they have said that they love him and what he does and that they believe in him and his progress. I think he will end up with a restructured contract by the start of next season

I also think

You can’t count out The Big Cats opinion on TD. He’s one of his guys and I think he’s in TD’s corner. In the end it’s a business and that will play a huge factor but I agree, he’ll be back.

Gah, I really wish I could say “yeah, he will be back and fine”… but these injuries he has had are very serious. I really hope this time everything works out, cause TD is one of the best teammates a team could possibly ask for. Would be an instant emotional boast to the D if anything.

Love ya, TD

And yeah, you’ll be back, but I doubt you’ll be healthy.

Thomas Davis

Is all heart. If anyone can come back from this, it’s him. I think like DoubleT-Dlo said you have to hedge your bet and have a plan B and after what we saw this year a plan C might be a good idea too. At the very least you could use him as a situational player. He’s got the speed to cover even the fastest of tight ends and spy the Mike Vicks of the world. Keep him out of traffic and out of the trenches until you know the knee will hold up and work him in slowly from there.
