I am not positive Jameis Winston will survive long enough to face the Panthers

The Bucs offensive line looks horrid, I mean, worse than the Panthers line of preseason last year. Really awful. 

 

Then take a quick look at the schedule....

 

September 27th

Bucs at Texans

 

JJ Watt may break the single game sack record. 

 

Panthers play in Tampa the following week.

I really wish we still had Hardy. As an idiot fan I still have a tiny tiny tiny bit of hope that we get Hardy AND Smitty back after this year. Obviously not happening, but until it's 100% sure (instead of 99.99999999999%) then I'll still have that small amount of hope.

Yep. Imagine this o-line and secondary with KB healthy, Funchess and Smitty as our top 3 WRs and then our d-line again with Hardy back and the LB group with Shaq added. Would be one of the best teams in NFL history.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
