notice teams that actually win consistently are silent 

 

 

aka pats

 

sont overpay for FAs. period. 

Why do people keep saying this? The Eagles won the Super Bowl 2 years ago after spending hugely. 3 of the top 4 NFC/AFC championship teams spent highly in FAs last year. 

Everyone keeps bringing up the Pats as if that’s the benchmark in which teams should follow. Let’s do that. Let’s start off by hiring arguably the best coach of all-time and arguably the best QB of all-time. That’ll be easy.

The Pats have four huge advantages. One, arguably the greatest coach of all-time. Two, arguably the greatest QB of all-time. Three, their division is straight trash year in and year out. Four, that arguably greatest of all-time QB is married to a supermodel who is worth even more than he is so he always gives the Pats a VERY cap-friendly deal so they can put a team together around him. He's paid like a middle of the pack starting QB.

I've always said that if you have a coach and you have a QB, you can consistently compete. Every other position is basically a "nice to have". You don't have to have a shutdown CB or an elite WR or a franchise LT, but you do have to have a QB and a coach.

Good teams don't need much free agency help.

 

Are the Panthers a good team?

It's tough having a lot of holes and not much cap room to work with. It's even tougher when you keep dead weight on the roster instead of freeing up that cap space because you're scared of "creating holes". The holes already exist. Taking big cap hits on JAGs doesn't change that.

Absolutely, not. What I’m saying is, we CONSTANTLY never improve our team in free agency. Every year like clockwork. There were guys out there that could really help this team this year and in the past. To me, there’s no point in signing free agents right now. Our roster has massive holes and stupid contracts on not great players. We’re in re-build mode and will be for the next 3 years at least. We should’ve been super aggressive in free-agency around 2015-2017 to take this team over the edge. That time has passed now. 

Losing Davis, Peppers, Kalil, Love, Funchess, Williams hurts. All of those were starters and now need replaced. You can’t do that in one season, especially if you don’t sign any FAs. 

We constantly overpay our guys and majority don’t live up to the contract. Take a look at the Packers.... They let go of one of the biggest leaders on their defense in Matthews, replace him with a younger better player, add another awesome DE and DB, sign a legit guard to protect Rodgers and also have two 1st round picks. That team will me MARGANILLY improves over next year. Us? We’ll be worse.

      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.
