Official Saints at Panthers Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I, as your leader, hereby proclaim the time of self loathing is over! 

 

Now is the time to come together as brethren, joined together for a common purpose. 

And you will know that purpose when he takes the field. 

And you will feel that purpose with every throw. 

And you will come to fear that purpose as you are filled with awe and wonderment as you witness what will surely transpire. 

 

And when he strikes upon the Saints from New Orleans with a frenzied despotism never before imagined, you will know his name is Cameron Jerrell Newton.

So it is written, so it shall transpire.

I'm torn about which fantasy defense I want to start, the Panthers or the Bucs. I know the Panthers defense has the ability to shut down the Saints, but bc it is Brees I somehow just don't see that happening completely. Meanwhile, the Bucs are playing against the Vikings who are without Bradford.

    • 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.
