Eric Davis on NFL Network makes sense "Carolina will have a tougher road back to the Super Bowl, because the NFC is tougher than the AFC"

He is right but its hard to gauge the Vikings now that they've played QB roulette.

He didn't say the Vikings.  He was talking more about the Packers, Seahawks, and Cardinals.  He's got a point on all three.  They all have weaknesses though, Packers have a weakness on defense with their average defense.  Seahawks have a weakness on the Offensive line.  Cards have a weakness on the Offensive Line as well, and pass rush or lack thereof.

Don't know if I agree overall.  The last two Superbowl winners are AFC.  And the weakest division in the NFL is probably going to be the NFC east again.   

 

I do agree that the Panthers likely have a tougher road this year than they did last year, primarily because we are playing the NFC and AFC west.

He was talking more Playoffs.  He's got a point, we'll have to go through GB, Seattle, and Zona to get there.  Just because the AFC's best teams are the Pats (Brady is turning 40 soon, Father Time is calling)and Broncos.  Name another team in the AFC that's a Super Bowl contender?  Oh wait, nothing?  Fair enough.

I'll take Brady playing at 40 over Carson Palmer at 37.

Steelers are definitely a superbowl contender.  In fact, this year they might be the favorite.

They have a massive weakness.  Their defense, and we saw last year if injuries hit on the offensive side they're screwed.  Unlike us, where if an injury hits us at RB or WR.  We still have Cam.

Cardinals are done I think. They got to the championship game last year and we crushed them. Fitz and palmer are both a year older and Floyd, brown and David Johnson arent anything special.   Packers, Seahawks and Panthers are all better and I think they know it. 

 

So if we were in the afc it would be new England or pittsburgh.  Either way it's two teams that are on the Panthers level.

And yet Green Bay was named as a Superbowl Contender, and their defense wasn't much better than Pittsburgh's.  And unlike Green Bay, the Steelers have a running game.  With their offense, the Steelers only need a slight improvement on the defensive side to get past the Pats and Broncos. 

 

But this is a comparison of conferences.  And imo, the NFC east makes the NFC worst overall.

      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.
