Davis now a Panther? Carolina is turning into a career graveyard just like Cinci is. Surprised Houston didn't go for him more than they did.

Here's the link to the John Clayton story : http://espn.go.com/nfl/columns/clayton_john/1522388.html

its all about the money to Davis but it doesnt matter, the panthers will make him a cap casualty in a year or two

Who exactly are the Panthers paying that's killing them on cap though, cause they certainly don't have any superstars. They keep giving out big money to questionable people, like Az last year and now Davis. I like Davis a lot, but he has a serious injurt he still needs to come back from.

Davis is actually a pretty good back when he gets the carries he needs. Last year he ran for 820 yds on 207 carries(4.0 ypc). Break that down even further, he only averaged 12 carries per game based on a 16 game schedule. He needs 20-25 carries to be a big time back and with the lack of a Passing game in Carolina he will be the focal point of that offense. Something I am sure he will love.

Yes, he will love it, sort of. Soon enough defenses will remember Carolina CAN'T throw the ball and stack 9 men in the box. I don't care who you are, you're not going to have a successful season if you have to run against a 9 man front. He's still recovering from a severly seperated shoulder which happened late last football season. A lot of money to give a guy you haven't been able to work out yet.

davis will gain 1000 yards easy for caralina he still is a premier back in this league

he only wants the money, and he stinks.:hop: :hop: :321: :hot: :grab: :explode:

he only wants the money or he wouldnt be heading down there. if i were him id go to a good team without a back for less money..hes already loaded why not get a ring?! :hot:

it's a shame that sports has become totally a financial business.

Once upon a time, players played for the love of the game.

Now, for every Jerry Rice / Kobe Bryant, who spent the entire year devoted to bettering themselves for the upcoming year, you get the likes of crap like

Shawn Kemp
Vin Baker
etc.

Just sad!

it's a shame that sports has become totally a financial business. i agree ashame:hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop: :hop:

I dunno Lamar Smith did well for the Panthers. They signed that Delhomme guy. They had a taste of playoff success not long ago and just lost the Hornets. I think it could pan out for him.
