he missed four games last year with Washington, Davis has proven in Carolina he still has a lot to offer.
Hell try Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons to become the first Panthers running back to open the season with three consecutive 100-yard games.
"Im getting better," Davis said, grinning. "Like wine, baby. Getting better."
Davis ranks fourth in the NFC and 10th in the NFL with 253 yards rushing. He has earned his rankings with just two games -- the Panthers were off last weekend -- while the backs in front of him have had three.
But Davis, signed by Carolina during the offseason after Washington let him go, swears he is not looking at any numbers.
"I hear on TV that theyre doing good, but as far as sitting down and looking at it, I dont do that," Davis said. "As long as I go out and do what Im capable of doing and were winning games, thats my only interest."
Only two other Carolina running backs have rushed for 100 yards in three straight games (Anthony Johnson in 1996 and Fred Lane in 1997). But no back has ever done it to open the season, and the Panthers have never had anyone do it consistently.
The Panthers started the year with just 25 individual 100-yard rushing games in the teams first eight years. Since running for 111 yards against Jacksonville and 142 against Tampa Bay, Davis now has 21 on his resume -- all since the 1999 season.
"He has impressed the heck out of me," Atlanta linebacker Keith Brooking said. "Hes got the power to run over people. He finds the hole in every play, and when he hits it, he runs over guys at times. Hes making linemen and linebackers and safeties miss down the field.
"I dont know how Washington ever decided to let go of him."
The Redskins let Davis go after seven seasons in which he became Washingtons No. 3 career rusher with 5,790 yards, and the only player in franchise history to run for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.
From 1999-2001, Davis averaged 326 carries for 1,385 yards and 11 touchdowns. But Davis had just 207 carries for 820 yards last
