1.  Does Rivera lose his job?  I think We know the answer to this as @Jeremy Igo has noted this past year.

 

2. Whats Cam's future with a new staff?  He will be on his last year of his deal, coming off another injury.  Does the new staff want to hold onto him his last year?  Or atleast try to get something for him.

 

3. QB and the Draft?  Is it out of the Question that we could draft a QB in the 1st?  New Staff like their guy.   We saw this with Rivera grabbing Newton after Jimmy Clausen was just drafted in the 2nd the year prior. Tepper wants to win.  We saw Philly gets aggressive and move of for Carson Wentz becausr they thought they had all the tools elsewhere and were just a QB away from a playoff team.

Knowing how Ron Rivera feels about players ending their careers on their own terms, I would expect that if we keep our current braintrust, Newton has a significantly better chance of staying with the team.

If we don't, spending 20 million on a quarterback you have no ties with for a year of seeing whether he can play is a pretty tough sell.

That brings up another question, I suppose. Would you keep Rivera as head coach if it meant the difference between whether or not we retain Newton?

Seeing as how most of this is Rivera's fault for playing him the first two weeks and seemingly having no idea what is going on.. Yeah, he should be gone 

Even if that means Newton is gone as well?

it's very possible that Cam Newton's future with this team could be tied to Ron Rivera's.

If we miss the playoffs with a 10-6 record Ron’s job still may be safe. A worst record & he is gone. The biggest factor is the 51-13 beat down from the 49ers. I understand the 49ers held us to 13 points, but our defense was supposed to be as good as theirs. Giving up 51 points coming a off a bye week is ridiculous. Kyle threw three picks but it’s not like they were all pick sixes for an easy 21 points. Kyle is a game manager right now.  If the defense plays to their potential we should be in any game, hence the four game winning streak.

Cam admitted he hid the injury from the team

He did so he is culpable to a degree. But if you can't see/acknowledge that your starting QB can't run, then you're probably more responsible. 

Bottom line though, just like last season, everyone knew Cam was hurt - including Rivera. Playcalling backs that up.

I don't really see us winning ten games with our remaining schedule.

I'm not even that certain we win nine.

      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.
