Before you make fun of the fans that get mad, remember it was Gman who made his comments.

About "stepping up in class " and not "having to shop at the dollar tree." because this year "we are better off financially." I see a lot of people make fun of the fans that get mad at Gman for not signing notable FAs. You can't get mad at the 6 year old kid when it was his own daddy that said "now son, last Christmas times were tough, but because daddy is in better financial shape this Christmas, we can now step up in class in terms of Christmas gifts." You can't blame the 6 year old when he is disappointed on Christmas morning when he gets a Xbox 360 when it was Daddy who led him to believe that this year will be the Xbox one.

Yes previous years when Gman would come out and flat out say we are cap challenged and won't be making any moves then the people that expected big moves deserved to be disappointed. This year is different, Gman is the one that gave fans hope with his own words. Just saying

Stepping up in class is different than pissing away money on high priced guys. I thought he made it clear that we're not out of the woods yet, but we are in a little better shape. It's on you if you assume that means we're going to sign high priced guys or make a big splash.

OfcoursecI didn't expect a Maclin, Cobb of Suh but a Torrey Smith I thought was reasonable

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      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.
