Are the Panthers unsure of who their #1 is or is it just a smokescreen…

Young or Stroud. I want Young, but will be happy with Stroud.

I've tried recently to get knowledgeable on both. I love both, and wouldn't be mad at either.

I think the way it's playing is speaking your way out of young for cj, but young seems like the better pick. But I also love cj.

It's up in the air for me.

That’s kind of how I feel. Stroud is their safe pick, but they will still see if AR can convince them he is worth the gamble. I say this only because of the timing in relation to the combine.

I have a feeling they’ve always had AR in high regard. Maybe they thought he’d be there from the 3-9 range before the combine. But after the combine, or during, they probably got a sense that other teams were also high on AR. He performed really well and they probably knew he wouldn’t be there in the 3-9 range, so, liking both qbs they traded up to get whoever they liked after watching film, interviews etc. It’s just speculation on my part, but to me, this whole process is interesting.

Our head coach, offensive coordinator, QB coach, running back coach and assistant GM all know what’s it’s like(through experience) to be hit by a 315 pound man. 
 

Although I don’t have that in common with them, it makes me believe they will be very uncomfortable drafting Young at 1. 
 

I think it’s Stroud with a dark horse of ARich if they trade down. I say don’t get cute. Please just take Stroud.

There's a whole thread about this right?

And the surrounding talent isn't accounted for, ARich had the worst OL in those games. None of his Wrs had any separation, he played hero ball the whole time.

But they gave him more respect than Levis

If they traded up to draft a project with 13 starts and horrible numbers.. I’m questioning my fandom..

Not saying they draft him, it’s just now there will be no what if, they can get whoever they like of the three. Plenty of time to talk and think about it.

You gave up to much to trade up and not have a clue.. That would be the clearest sign of malpractices and organizational failure… 

 

Jmo there is nothing to discuss other then Young vs Stroud.. Levi’s and Richardson are discussions for teams that don’t have a top 3 pick… Taking a big swing with the number 1 pick is like Hiring a college coach with no pro experience and giving him a 7 year deal for 70 million dollars..

      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.
