Philly Brown and Ted Ginn Jr are the worst starting receiver tandem in the league...

I think this is undisputed. How many teams can you think of that made significant playoff runs while having the worst receivers in football? Not just bad, but 32nd out of 32?

 

I'm not hating on either of them, neither should have been cut. But we're starting the equivalent of 4th and 5th receivers from other team's squads as our 1 and 2 and it's just Week 1. Just how bad can this thing get if Ginn goes out there and breaks an ankle in the 3rd quarter?

Raiders aren't that much better off either. Michael Crabtree, who had a good year in 2012, but has otherwise been nothing to tell mom about in his career. Then Amari Cooper, who was great in college, but unproven as of yet as he is just a rookie. Things aren't looking great for Oakland either, folks.


We're not in a great spot, but let's not act like we're doomed.

you would take brown/ginn over two proven 1000-yard receivers?



Yep. I think Brown/Ginn CAN put up those kind of numbers. They've just been relegated to #3,4,5 spots on the depth chart, so they haven't put up the numbers. Harry Douglas only had his 1,000 yard season when he was finally put in a starting spot. Keep that in mind...

I feel like calling anything "Undisputed" before the first snap of the first regular season game is just reaching for shock value.  "oh hell he said it was undisputed I better get my sky-holding gloves on".  

Of course it's not undisputed before there is a single metric...and even then calling a single position or position group "best" or "worst" in a game where every position on the field impacts every other position is highly debatable.

For that matter when did teams start using only two receivers?  

I swear...people will bitch about anything.

      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.
