Bucky Brooks might be going insane

Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks rank the top five QBs in the league, and you just have to watch Bucky Brooks try to justify having Big Ben ranked 1st and Cam 5th.

It's actually kind of hard to watch. I think something might be wrong with Bucky.

DJ points out that Cam has TD/INT ratio of 25/10, while Big Ben has a ratio of 15/9. Bucky says he is OK with that, but then knocks Cam for having 10 interceptions....what the hell is going on here. I'm not even angry, I'm concerned for Buck. Then DJ points out that Ben is throwing to elite wide receivers, to which Bucky responds that Ted Ginn was actually drafted higher than Antonio Brown......waaattt.

 

You just have to watch this painfully awkward discussion.

The fun starts at 3:08.

The only conclusion I've come to regarding Bucky is that he has to be actually rooting for the Panthers but is worried about jinxing them or possibly wants to give them more motivation so he is going full blown anti-Panthers. He's at least reasonably intelligent and nothing he has been saying recently about the Panthers makes any sense.

that's a good theory

Except for Cam is the MVP. Listened to this the other day and his arguments are pretty bad on their own, but this was not long after the Cam for MVP discussion.

Yeh, I seen that. Then he tells. Bucky that Brady was drafted in the 6th round, then looks at him like "so what's ur point?". Like getting drafted higher makes u better. lol! Best part is when he asked Bucky if A. Brown, M. Bryant, and T. Ginn were FAs; would Ginn be the higher coveted receiver? Haha! Priceless...

    • 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.
