Primetime9287 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Anyone believe this... (KFFL) KFFL has learned Carolina Panthers RB Stephen Davis (knee), who has been working with the first-team offense during practice this week, will be the team's opening day starter for the regular season if his surgically repaired knee continues to hold up. Davis has reportedly looked sharp in contact drills, though he hasn't taken a massive hit yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I noticed pretty big *if* in that statement of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major-tom Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) If Davis stays healthy how many carries will they give him? I bet they bring him along slow. Edited August 26, 2005 by major-tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 He was a stud when healthy ... and ASYS may apply in Carolina ... for what its worth, I added him to the Bavarians ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 flip! I drafted fliping D. Foster in two of my three leagues.... this news sucks donkey dicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robash Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 does this mean drafting him in the 6th round of a 32 team league at essentially the 206th pick was "good value" on my part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeler Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 OTOH, this is a KFFL report, Davis is 32 (IIRC) and coming off microfracture surgery. Until he is officially named by the starter by Fox I wont worry about it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think having Shelton and Goings guarantees the starting RB on Carolina by week 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Not a bad 16th-round pick, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Not a bad 16th-round pick, eh? 948502[/snapback] Considering it was a 15 round draft, not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 :doah: 948519[/snapback] All ribbing (for my pleasure) aside, you're "upside" RB picks in Moore and Davis look somewhat prophetic. Don't know that they'll get the job done, but their stock has risen since just Sunday. Not too shabby, Swerski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 If this becomes reality (I don't think it will), it makes no sense. He makes a great backup to the much younger Foster. I don't think Fox is that dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 D. Foster will be the man this year......Davis might get a few token starts early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Carolina has TWO running backs who've had microfracture surgery on their knees. Something tells me Shelton sees SOME starts this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Should be funny to see how quickly he goes in drafts that are currently taking place. William Green and Stephen Davis stocks soar on the 25th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Carolina has TWO running backs who've had microfracture surgery on their knees. Something tells me Shelton sees SOME starts this year. 948594[/snapback] I was thinking the very same thing. Everyone seems high on Foster but lets get serious here for a minute. He is an injury waiting to happen even if he is productive when healthy I fear drafting him. However I did draft Davis in the 11th in GvE .

loaf Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 just finished a huddle draft and took stephen in the 13th round (154) overall hoping for some good news... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 In one of my leagues (ConFusion) this is GREAT news. But I have Shelton just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I would be hesitant to think that Stephen could last more than 6 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PantherDave Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I don't think so, as I've heard nothing to support this, as I see the snaps with the first team to be about getting in sync, most likely the two back attack that was run in 2003. Foster is the starter, but Davis will spell him from time to time as Foster did Davis in 2003. That's my take on it, but should I hear anything different I'll let ya know. Peace PD.
