http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000797366/ranking-all-52-no-1-picks-of-the-nfls-commondraft-era

... at number 14, which is pretty damn good considering he's only going into his age 30 season and could easily play 6-8 more. Keep in mind this list has 51 overall number 1 picks.  Can't really argue too much with the players ranked ahead of him besides Stafford, who's much less accomplished than Cam but his passing numbers are great. 

Its a pretty cool article. Although its bizarre they only seem to focus on the past couple of seasons in his little synopsis and not mentioning him having a crazy rookie season, the 2015 MVP/SB run, or the fact that hes got more rushing TDs than any QB in NFL history. 

And friendly reminder of these QBs who won their first SB later in life : 

  • Payton Manning : Age 30 (and went to 4 SBs in his 30s)
  • Jim Plunkett : Age 33 (won another at age 36)
  • John Elway : Age 37 (another at 38)

Everything is a bit up in the air with his recent shoulder injuries, but here's to hoping for a revitalization and winning the first SB for the Panthers.

Don’t they come out with this list every year/ every few? Stanford is always ahead of cam. No one seems to know why

Like I say, probably because his passing numbers are really good for an age 30/31 QB. He's also had a few pretty good seasons, but those are drowned out by several bad or mediocre ones . 

Most notably he's not done anything in the playoffs, which should bump Cam up to 13 and him down to 14. 

Cam should def be in the top 10 after all is said in done if his shoulder is okay. But he wont get in the top 5 unless he wins at least 1 SB. I don't really think he'd need to win multiple ones to compete with the other QBs that have multiple, since he's such a unique talent.

Right so, again, I have no idea why MS is above camvp

Well,... in Stafford’s defense,.. he plays with the worst professional sports organization ever,.. like worst team ever,...

if he had been drafted by like the Steelers for example and won 2-3 Superbowls— he would have no question marks.

same for Cam for example.

He's had some pretty top-shelf receiving talent though.

      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.
