Robby is a good WR who looked like poop with Sam. He dominated with Teddy. You know Robby is a good WR. Jerry Rice would look like poop with Sam. Robby can certainly be traded as we're not doing anything in the next two seasons unless we land Watson.

Enough with the Watson bullshit.

Disagree.

Darnold has had good games in the NFL before. He has it in him. But drawing it out of him requires a lot of work.

Could he be salvaged? Not sure but I'd lean towards no. It'd probably take more time and effort than anyone is likely gonna be willing to put forth.

He's started a ton of games. The vast majority have been bad. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

Why would we want to pay a king's ransom for Watson? He can't even keep his ass out of sex crime trouble. Do you honestly think that moron would make a good team leader? He is good when he plays but he isn't even the best in the league or even close to worth what the Texans want. With that year lay off, who knows if he will even be any good now? But on the bright side he loves him a good happy ending so let's offer him vet minimum restructure and a few massage parlor coupons to see if we can reel him in that way

That would be closer to hyperbole, which can be fun. Have you ever fun?

The 500th attempt to shove Deshaun Watson into a thread that had nothing to do with him wasn't any more "fun" than the first 499 were.

As others said above, give it a rest.

Amazing that we were under no obligation to extend him after one year in a two year deal. Aren’t you supposed to enjoy have a value contract every once in a while? How can you dole out a $30M two year extension and want to trade that player before you even start the extension. Just shows how bad the deal was. Dump the contract ASAP and hopefully Bill thinks Sam was the problem and Robby is the real deal and gives us a decent pick.

If this deal happens, it shows two things...the Panthers realized they screwed up by giving Robby that kind of deal and two, they are wising up.  Both would be very positive signs.

Hopefully. I am not impressed at all by Fitterer but if they get an OK pick then I’ll give him a little more leeway and I’ll back more that Rhule was the entire problem. I still worry that if that’s true then Fitt still didn’t have big enough cahones to tell him he was wrong or as I thought all along, Fitt took part in many of those bad decisions.

I just can’t see the Pats paying him 12.8M, plus at least 5-10M to get rid of Agholar, and give up a draft pick to do it. The Panthers would have to pay most of his base salary for any pick to happen.

True, but since Rhule has final say so over the roster, Fitt is more like the Door Dash employee...Rhule orders the goods and tasks Fitt to go fetch it.  That was the relationship prior to this year, but I think Tepper is leaning on Rhule to make it a true partnership.  Yes, Fitt singed off on the Robby extension, but who was the one that REALLY wanted the ex-Temple product to remain in the fold?  I doubt Fitt was the one banging the table to not let Robby walk in FA.

If you're defending Fitterer you aren't helping him with comparisons like this. We could have hired anyone to be a yes man even a huddler here.

What he's describing is the standard GM-Coach relationship, even among teams where the coach doesn't have final say.

After all the years of you and others rightfully blasting Marty Hurney into oblivion for his mismanagement it is tough to watch the mental gymnastics now just because you like the new GM on a personal level. None of that can change the fact he was directly involved in the Sam Darnold trade which will go down as one of the worst in years for any team. These guys are paid the big bucks to evaluate talent.

    • 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.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • 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.
