Get used to it.

When you’re paying one LB a ridiculous amount and he’s not playing like Luke or as versatile, there’s going to be an issue. This is why people who say Shaq is decent never mind the contract it isn’t his fault, and then go to criticize Whitehead have a take that’s shortsighted.

I mean what it is it…20 million next year?  There was no cap space to do anything otherwise. How much are you willing to invest in LBs? It wasn’t there. Plus the money lost from Luke’s retirement.

Hurney panicked combined with his hard on for LBs and this is what happens, another crippling contract.

Pretty sure we’re stuck with that next year too. I hope to heaven he isn’t restructured. More cap will help but  depending on what they do with Chinn, and moving on from Shaq, LB is going to be a big problem in the near future.

Personally, if we were set on Darnold, and Sewell out of reach, I think signing Bradberry and letting Shaq walk and trading down for Parsons would’ve been a great scenario future wise - cap and value. Extra picks, a CB, and can recover from Shaq’s dumb contract.

Nice spin. Take a thread about Whitehead, and Carter. And use it to insult Shaq, and Hurndog. Nice work I tell ya what.

If you can’t see how it’s all related, that’s shortsighted. Again, how much do you think a team should be investing in LBs? 

If Whitehead and Carter should be replaced with quality LBs, how much do you think they’ll cost?

Name calling. Is this a board filled with kids?

No more like people like you that don’t know anything and overreact about a draft pick after 4 practices that hasn’t looked bad at all. You have acted like a middle schooler going in every thread typing dumbazz comments, please go on. Garbage takes!

We could’ve traded down, added a 2nd or 3rd and still get Parsons. Instead, Rhule was sold on a corner. Parsons and Kelvin Joseph are balling for the Cowgirls. Horn is getting roasted. 

I’ll disagree and say Horn will be good if not elite. But, if the choice is Parons and extra picks and resigning Bradberry KNOWING Shaqs contract and the LB position is going to cause major issues later on, I’ll take option B all day long.

It's only interrelated in your imagination. You are speculating, about hind-sight. That argument is never wrong. It ain't a fact, but it is an opinion.

 

The whole Defense took a step forward once Carter took over at MLB. And he is having a nice camp. I wouldn't spend any money on any LB.

Don’t wAste your time talking to that guy, he is one of those still complaining we didn’t take Fields. We didn’t never want to draft him to begin with so why complain about something that was never going to happen.

Investing way too many resources into off ball LBs has led to the Panthers having a great history at LB, bit a poor overall W-L record.

Not gonna lie, I didn't want to draft Horn. But positional value of CB >>>> non-pass rushing LBs. Parsons was one guy I specifically didn't want at #8 and it had everything to do with positional value. I was screaming for us to let Shaq walk and re-sign Bradberry instead.

      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.
