Lol. @Castavar I’m with you man. I don’t feel good about it, but F these guys who get all pissed when we talk drafts. I was 100% right about not wanting to re-sign Short last year. I was 100% right that we should have gone full rebuild to get a rookie QB. I was 100% right during the draft to say we should have gone more OL heavy.

Nah, let’s feel better about going 5-11 and losing a 3rd for Bradberry and wasting $70M. Now we can throw another $50M in wasted cap (Sam, Robby, Erving and Elflein). It sucks to feel like we lost all that cap and a ton of draft picks in comp picks for Teddy/Weatherly and trading for Sam and CJ. We gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in the 2021 and 2022 drafts.

imagine if we had a rookie QB, $100M in cap and 5 more draft picks. We’d feel way better.

 But that “winning culture” was soooo important. LOL

Another year. Another expected performance that destroys the future instead of planning for it. It’s a pleasure watching the “echo chamber” get cracked wide open.

I admit, Rhule was the guy I wanted. I believed in him. Seemed like a real football savvy guy. I got a little worried when he hired all College Coaches. Then i got a little worried when he started signing all former players of his. Then i gave a pass last season. First season plus COVID and all that jazz. Got a little puzzled by the Darnold move, but I went along and hoped for the best. At this point I'm about as close as possible to jumping off the Rhule train. At the end of the day, I just want to win and want football to be fun to watch again. Who knows if or when that will be with this franchise. If Rhule can figure it out, awesome, if it's going to be someone else, I guess we are in for a long wait. I see Rhule getting at least 2 more seasons. No matter what.

I don’t complain but this was completely horrible. Traveled to NY and outside of Donte on defense and the first drive of good running there wasn’t much to cheer for. I wanted to buy my first jersey for the occasion but told myself I needed to see more from this team before investing that and got a hat to appease myself. I won’t be purchasing anything else until we start fielding a better product on the field. 

It’s that bad to me.

And replace him with who ? The pool isn’t so good this year besides it’s still very early, only 1 and almost half a season in with a new gm, who would you prefer ?

Unfortunately they may have missed their opportunity, the past few years there were a lot better candidates when they were in the market. Plenty of retreads available but this team needs a offensive coach who understands this is the NFL and has experience in the NFL.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
