If Bridgewater starts another game this season, the coaching staff has given up on the season.

Teddy Bridgewater has lost his last 7 starts. His last 2.5 games in particular have been cringeworthy. He is regressing and costing the team games. Time and time again, Bridgewater fails to make the plays needed to win with the game on the line. He is overly risk-averse, physically limited, and hasn’t shown the mental fortitude to improve his game. He deflects blame to the coaching staff at times (see “not receiving the play call in time” in the 4th quarter against Minnesota), and we have no reason to believe Teddy Bridgewater will improve at all going forward. 

So what next? Does the coaching staff bench a safe, known loser in Teddy Bridgewater and tank the rest of the season to get a better draft pick? Or do they put in PJ Walker, whose arm strength and athleticism could spark the team and maybe win a couple of games? Or does the team see what they have in Will Grier?

No matter what they do, the message is clear. The answer isn’t Bridgewater. And if they stick with him for the rest of the season, the coaching staff is sending a clear message that the Panthers have given up on winning any more games this season.

you know I read a lot on here about how awful our coaches are, and how awful our coordinators are. If they win a game their idiots for losing draft postion, if they lose a game their an awful coaching staff. The one thing that I have begun to think about is it possible that they would be coaching losses with a winning attitude? Can you intentionally lose without looking like you are trying to lose? Some of the play calls ive seen has me thinking this way.

      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.
