I hate to say it, but Red makes a good point----Tepper's image after trading Cam---makes me think of  the Red Sox owner's popularity after trading Babe to the Yankees.  Then I though, "What if that is why Hurney is being kept?  What if he is the hatchet man?"

I think many fans will understand the Cam move, but many others will hate Tepper for doing it.  Most athletes are not given the stage to depart with grace and the respect they deserve; they become expendable at some point.  Montana went to KC, Unitas went to the Chargers, Namath became a Ram.  I think trading Cam is in the best interest of the team in the long term, but I respect the fans who want him here.  Loyalty and business are rarely the same thing.

I just "backread" the thread. Sorry for the repetition.

I mean....we all knew it already right? Tepper wants to reboot the whole franchise. The plan is to flat out suck to get the next franchise QB....and if we miss on draft day next year Tepper may as well become Geoffrey Baratheon. 

If we trade Cam and somehow win enough games to not be able to draft Lawrence, Fields, or Newman, then Tepper will not be able to show his face in Charlotte. The poop will hit the fan and fly everywhere. Fans will be livid.

That's been theorized before.

I grant it's possible. 

I don’t know if Hurn is going to be fired, but it now makes a lot more sense why he was kept. 
 

Tepper needed someone to guide him through these processes and orchestrate these moves. Moves like this are too much for a new own/coach or brand new GM to do. 
 

We’ll see what happens after the draft.

 If Tepper did that, I would lose a lot of respect for him. Everyone knows that he and Ruhle are making this decision. Why try to lay it on anyone else? Fire someone because they suck at their job, not as a scapegoat.

Hurney will get 'reassigned' within the organization, but after the draft, expect Tepper to go after a new GM.

      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.
