What's embarrassing is watching someone argue that we wanted a guy who was available and we didn't select. That's one of the dumber arguments I've seen presented on this forum.

 

That’s what I’m saying lol saying we wanted Fields and didn’t even draft him. How dumb could you be, don’t know how he keeps arguing that LMAO!

I sure wasn’t wrong last year about Teddy while Panthers fans were taking shots of whiskey to help them believe Teddy would be Drew Brees. 

 

Half the Huddlez was right about Teddy. Don't go patting yourself on the back for that one. JackA..

Real question is what does this say about Rhule and Snows ability to evaluate talent. It was evident in the first quarter of the season last year he was a liability, but he continued to play. 
 

I’ll chalk it up to inexperience and Covid but they can’t make the same mistakes this year. Specifically if it is talent on the offensive line. 

Your real question is awnsered by a simple statement. We were thin at LB after Luke retired. This year we knew what we had and went out and got better there.

Carolina and Denver were the only two dumb teams to passed on Fields. Vic jumped up to grab him. 

We’ll see how it plays out down the road, but calling draft picks dumb before their rookie years isn’t always the wisest move lol.  I love Fields but if Darnold is even average we’re in good shape

I applaud your effort at civility. However, I fear your words will fall on deaf ears.

I did not at all support trading for Darnold and would've drafted Fields all day long. But to try to sit here and argue that we wanted Fields when he was available and we passed? Just bizarre. Yeah, there was reason to think that Fields may well be the pick, but the proof is in the pudding. Quoting reports leading up to the draft as if it's proof of anything is just delusional.

We wanted Fields. The only guys that didn’t know that are you and the other two guys that came at my throat like I didn’t know what I was talking about. It sucks to get proven wrong. I understand it.

You'd know a lot about getting proven wrong 😏

As was reported afterward, the Panthers were blowing smoke about Fields hoping that somebody would offer a significant trade package. No one did, so they took Horn. 

Bill Voth and Panthers Confidential both later confirmed that Fields was never in consideration.

He posts to get responses. Football is just the means to an end. I mean, look at this thread. He was ridiculed relentlessly. Yet hung around longer than one would normally expect.

 

It's the attention he craves. Like most Huddlerz, and a decent LT. lol

To be fair, I was shooting 3 Wisemen and just wanted to point out that his deep ball wasn't that bad when he has both knees working and an OL that can give him longer than 2.5sec to let the play develop. 😳

But I also didn't say that Herbert didn't have arm talent when it was clearly on display. Kinda like folks that thought Gabbert was the #1 prospect when he was 0/1 on passes of 40+ yards the year he declared. 👀

Having good to great LBs has gotten us a losing overall record. We've way over-invested at the position historically and that has created talent deficits at other more vital positions.

Correlation does not imply causation.

      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.
