There was a pretty big change on that front though (a fired coach).

Is there a change like that you can anticipate happening now?

I’m just saying everything is very fluid. Burns may want too much money for example. Especially after hearing what they turned down for him.

I think Fitterer put it in perspective last week during the press conference.  If you trade up and mortgage your future, you better have really strong conviction about the QB you're draft.  I honestly think only CJ Stroud is the pick that would warrant that risk.

Imagine we trade up to #1 for AR-15.

I'd rather do something to keep my job now even if it means maybe get fired in two years versus getting fired now for not doing the thing.

He is going to.keep swinging for homeruns. At least that is what he said. He will likely cover his bases by moving up for a rookie and getting a vet or two as well. If you cover your bases and do what Tepper wants you dont have to worry about getting fired.

Yeah, starting to think the only way we would get AR would be at 9.

This may have already been discussed in one of the many QB threads but I wonder how much stock we can put into the AR talk.

 

It seems odd that we’re apparently such an open book in regards to him and Levis when our coaching search was kept under wraps so well. 
 

I understand this is different as there are many more people involved (scouts, etc) but do wonder how much can be believed.

Yeah the coaching stuff is behind closed doors. I can't imagine how much speculation and opinion is shared between scouts and journalists at the combine. It's all BS til we actually get to Pro Day visits and 30 visits, then it could still be some bluffing going on about who or who not we visit with

I'd rather do the right thing so when I apply for future NFL GM jobs I can say "well I didn't cripple my last franchise in a desperate attempt to save my job".

U can always blame it on Tepper in your next job interview. How’s the other team gunna know for sure?

You want to do nothing like we have done ever since Cam has left. It’s worked great so far. Makes sense…

    • 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.
