National Football Post breaks down Panthers in their season preview - (thanks Bill Voth)

our division will be better this year, and we will likely regress a bit. Still think we will be competing for a playoff spot, but more importantly will be competing in the playoffs in the years to come

Between Huddlecasts, BBR and Kroeger on WFNZ, the future of Panthers coverage is looking bright af.

 

I listened to Kroeger for the first time yesterday. I remember people complaining here when he was hired. i thought he was a significant upgrade to anyone they have had there in a while.

Agree with most of this but its only July and I think it is too early for me to give in and say we will regress.  If our line can somehow hold up we are in business.  Want to get into training camp before I get riled up.

I think it's generally agreed that Kroeger is a significant upgrade over uberdouche Marc James.

Oh, and hate to tell you SCP, but I think you got scooped on this one.

Saints might be a hair better, I think we are better than the Falcons but the Buccs is the wildcard team.  They were supposed to be good last year, so new coach, new offense so it is up in the air for them.  They should be pretty good but there is usually a big time letdown team in our division.  Maybe it will be the Saints this year.

Oops, you would be correct. It's hard to make sales calls and post sometimes. :-) Maybe a mod can merge or delete this one then.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
