There is just so much toxicity in the fan base right now.  It's really disappointing.  Then again, I need look no further than the rest of social media and my community to see that everyone is just getting more and more toxic.

I get that your fantasy football/Madden brains are the smarterest people in the room.  But chill out.  You can't control it.  Sure gripe, but going after each other is not being a fan, it's being a dick.  I'm all for discussion and disagreement, but the toxicity here is really stupid.

Anti-tanker here

Players have limited careers and deserve better than a franchise putting them needlessly at risk without a chance to perform to their full potential.

Avg NFL career is ~3.3yrs. I'm just not willing to sacrifice ~1\3 of that so that Internet rageaholics can feel better about getting their scratch off ticket two or three spots earlier.

Am I proud of that? I'm proud of staying true to myself and what I believe in. Am I going to go around patting myself on the back about it? No, I don't have time for that since I'm still Barry Horowitiz'ing over Tyler Linderbaum 😛

I am, I don’t derive pride from stupid things, but I don’t regret that. 
 

you only get 17 of these games a year. You should enjoy every one. The draft is a complete crap shoot. 
 

on top of that, this team was never getting a guaranteed shot at the top player; it was always going to involve trading pieces. When extra first rounders are involved the difference between a 2023 4th or 9th overall pick is marginal. 
 

some of you people either want a Super Bowl win or a first round pick. You people need to touch grass.

This is why I left social media. I've also been a fan of this team from the beginning. I've learned to cope with the terribleness and roll with the punches with this franchise. They will make you crazy otherwise. Good post, though.

      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.
