Would you be willing to sit Cam an entire season and see how he does after?

It's not up to us.  But if I were the coach I would need to know how serious the problem with his shoulder is.   I would need to know what the prognosis is for a full recovery and the time frame needed to get there. 

Then I would have to get the owner to tell me if we are in it to win it or trying for the number 1 pick next year.  The answer to that question will determine whether he sits or not.

Absolutely.  Whatever it takes to get him back to 100% or as close to it as he can get.  I'm not writting off that he won't be ready for next season though, if not from the start, at some point.  And I'm fine with riding with Allen or whoever can beat him out in the mean time.  Let Cam heal.  Focus on strengthening the Oline and let our backup QB rely on our weapons to carry the load. Add some pass rush and then even with waiting on Cam we could play some good football.

This all depends on what his doctor says. If it's a sure thing that resting it will get him back to 100 percent then yes. You rest the man. No amount of pouting on his end will change that. 

 

Draft a guy or roll with whoever. Free agency is another option. But this situation is only possible with what his doctors say.

I’ve been an advocate for this for several weeks now.  

Obviously we don’t know the full extent of what’s going on, but I think I’ve seen enough to know he needs extended time to truly get his shoulder and mind right.

    • 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.
