Very good article by Willie McGinest - read and see who it reminds you of

There was ZERO mentions of Panthers or Carolina. I even did a keyword search for Panthers and Carolina for 0 result.

I really hope this team is enraged with the way they have been dismissed for far. I hope they tear Seattle new one come Sunday.

good thing you did that keyword search, I would hate to have to actually read the article

The Panthers don't yet belong with the teams the article was citing, so it's no surprise at all they weren't mentioned. It's about establishing a winning tradition and being able to contend year after year. Hopefully the Panthers will join the other successful organizations that don't crash and burn at regular intervals. Only time will tell.

The article lists points seen in the Panther's current mind set. The dedication to "next game focus", emphasis on teamwork, unselfish play, and harmonious locker room that fosters a winning effort. McGinest does a good job of listing all the traits of a consistently successful club. These I have seen in the coaching staff, as well as the GM. Gettleman having no problem with shedding those seen as disruptive in the locker room, and coaching staff in emphasizing the immediate goal, "the next game" and marginalizing the tendency to look too far ahead. Hopefully, this will bear fruit, as it has already, in my opinion.

    • 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.
