Aside from your weird conspiracy, what is interesting is that in the press conference last night with Fitts, Reich, they said he wouldn’t come in and be handed he starting job but they did say he’d be the #2… So basically he already jumped Corral without even getting to Charlotte yet. I bet Corral is gone today or tomorrow for a late pick.

People talking poo in here. Surprise surprise. 
 

His #2 is available so the only reason I see him hesitating to switch is if it indeed does cost him money to do so. 
 

Then it’s understandable why he wouldn’t want to switch, and the default shouldn’t be “he’s an asshole cut him.”

If Corrall actually could be the guy. Would you expect him to give up his number ? You know Cam sure as hell wouldn’t .

Corrall sucks but every player in the NFL has to believe they are the best.

Reality is, a second year player drafted in the 3rd round….should feel he can be the man.  Regardless of what the team does. Act that way too.  That’s in theory what we want the roster full of. 

I got no problem if Corral keeps the number.  I’d sell it though. 

 

Yeah I don’t understand how anyone realistically thinks he should just roll over. He’s still a man. Bryce is the new guy. Pick another number or buy it.

so back in 2011, Cam Newton who played his CFB in the state of Alabama, was drafted by the Panthers #1 overall, he wore #2 his whole life - being the middle child. The number was important to him. He offered a ton of money to Jimmy Clausen, a QB that attended Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, CA. A QB that was drafted by the Panthers day 2 the year prior. Jimmy denied Cam Newton which resulted in him wearing #1. Jimmy then switched to #7 after Jason Baker left like an asshole. The rest is history.

fast forward 12 years later, the Panthers draft Bryce Young who played his CFB in the state of Alabama, was drafted by the Panthers #1 overall, he wore #9 his whole life. That number currently belongs to Matt Corral, a QB that attended Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, CA. A QB that was drafted by the Panthers day 2 the year prior. 

Matt already seems salty, and his College number #2 is now available. Does he give #9 to Bryce? Does he be an asshole and say no and then switch the next year just before being cut?

This is some Lincoln / Kennedy poo for real.

I’ve been pitching, if Levis goes to the Titans, we swap him for Malik Willis 1:1 to give both guys a fresh start. 

Levis was just selected by the Titans, so now Fitterer needs to contact them and try to work something out.

Does he actually suck ? I’m not sure we know that at this point and time. People that feel he should just give up his number are foolish.  Put yourself in his shoes, I know I wouldn’t just give it up.

      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.
