That's pretty much every draft. Usually there's people here whining about the pick at least. Right now those guys seem to be completely MIA. It's sleepy here.

Maybe it's because the fanbase overall has faded with the Tepper years. 

Mainly cos it's felt like this, so we've given up:ice skating shade GIF by BBQ Films

This brother is sharp. The quick processing is apparent just hearing him speak. These are very good answers he's spitting in real time with little to no hesitation.  I'm sure Tepper and the staff were beside themselves talking to him.

Good stuff. 

Now set that man up with the nutritionist and strength and conditioning staff first thing next Monday morning. Hope to see +15lb by September.

You think we know more about S&C than Alabama? I know we don't.

Embrace it - he's a short QB with a small frame. Live with the decision and stop trying to pile weight onto a frame that can't handle it.

I think the team made a huge investment. At this level it is much more a business than in Bama. You think anyone that will likely invest hundreds of millions of dollars into this player (if he makes it that long to sign his future contract after rookie deal is up) cares if his "frame" can handle more weight and make his even just slightly less injury prone?

      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.
