I asked chat GPT about the injury if you scroll back a few posts and posted the results but it said that PCL long-term is better there should be no lingering effects so it shouldn't have a long-term effect on his career so I don't think you should look at it as he won't be the same player it's much more preferred over having an ACL injury which does change your long-term trajectory so I think if he's only going to miss maybe half the season or less you're better off getting a veteran or drafting a guy later to feel that stopgap until he returns to full form

Also believe it or not the recovery time for PCL is shorter than an ACL tear so give me that nine times out of 10. Looking at the time frame I think he starts to season on the PUP list but after that he should be a go

I think you should read articles written by humans about patellar tendon injury recovery time for NFL players and not rely on Chatgpt searches for the wrong thing.

This isn't a ACL tear. I would say his chances of returning to form are great. Maybe he won't be 100% this year but I don't think this injury should change his career trajectory. How is 6'4 42 inch vertical invisible? 

Its worse than an ACL

just hoping for the best, prepared for the worst 

I am 100% for drafting or aquirung a qb. I'm not holding my breath for them to be the starter anytime soon. 

Y'all got to stop making yourselves miserable with this expectation that Bryce will be replaced in the near future. It is what it is. 

I recently heard one of our YouTube content guys or a podcaat, cant remember who, say it would be our first.

Im old i guess. That was our first games. I will akways remember working in a kitchen in college listening the the radio broadcast as we played Jacksonville. 

Sign Wagner and draft one in the second or third round.

Well we don’t have anything to talk about so….. 

Combine and free agency are front and center. Just hard to get too serious about predicting  the draft before those things are wrapped up and we see what they are doing in terms of visits.

We have free agency coming up that will shape draft needs. The brunt of their draft work is just beginning.

What does it actually say ?

Sure it does, maybe not every position and not every draft.  You have to admit the hit rate goes down the further in the draft you get.  Would you more readily find a generational talent at the #2 pick or #19 pick?  High picks are considered "busts" if they doesn't pan out, whereas guys drafted later don't have that level of scrutiny upon them.  Different expectation levels.  If Styles does indeed go #2, I already listed the rarefied air that he would be in.  Maybe he doesn't set the League on fire, but my gut feeling is he does.  Again, you don't take an off-ball LB #2 if he is just a 'really good' player.

If anything he's overrated. Production does not match the hype. 

I wish I didn't keep finding more evidence of how petty Smith is.

While Rivera wasn't great and had coaching flaws the true leaders of that time frame loved Rivera.

What game with 10 carries are we talking about here? 

The one against Miami that the Miami fan is using to judge his talent by in this thread.

Making judgements about the skill of a running back based on 1 game with 10 attempts without regard to the reliance on OL is rather silly. Unless you are trying to downplay your own good defense?

We dont have a LT or a C. Im not sure why this is overlooked.. referring to their statement about interior OL

Not surprising. I dont see how we don't resign Mays.  We need significant OL help.

I can't see how it's a absolutely not when I have heard more say BPA in 3 different interviews this week. So at number 19 tell me one player who is on the board that is projected to be there better than love who is a to 5 talent in this draft. 

Your question was "What say you?" My answer was "absolutely not".

I've always wondered why we tried to run a 3-4 without a true NT. DB is not a NT even though he plays a lot over center. 

Right or wrong nobody seems to use the type of NT used 10-20 years ago.

Many starting NT make ours look huge.

Id rather trade Wharton

Absolutely not

We passed on an all pro LT in Slater because his arms were considered short for the position. You don't pass on elite talent on the edge because his arms aren't ideal length. 

His production does not suggest elite.

Draft a guard? No. Center. We needed one with Corbett and his injury history and lack of playing the position. Mayes was green. Usually though, you don't have a top tier contract tackle followed up by 2 big guard contracts. That's a lot of dough in 3 roster spots.

Even still, after Hunt and Lewis, churning the back end the roster wasn't/isn't a bad thing. UDFA or a late rounder on a multi-positional player. Just one of those places that piling up fodder isn't going to end badly for you, just based on attrition. 

 Corbett is a free agent. We dont really have a center at all. Seems fairly likely we resign Mays despite the talk.

Bears have given tremain edwards permission to seek a trade. Dalton and a 3rd, get it done Dan. See if you can get kmet also lol 

The Bears dont need a backup 

If this doesn't work its the end of Canales. Its pretty cut and dry. 

He is not physical at WR. That would be a disaster.

Luke came into my restaurant in Blowing Rock and asked if we would like a picture when we said hi we are big fans. Came back into the kitchen while we snapped it, thanked us for the pancakes. I love Cam but can you ever imagine Cam doing that lol

A friend of mine worked at Johnson & Whales. Cam contacted the school and wanted cooking lessons at his home. The staff that participated said he was as cool as one can be changing preconceived notions people had going in to it.
