Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

Honestly, what would be the point?

That’s my thought. He’s not here. If he was, I’d probably be a lot happier on Sundays from 1-4, but whining about it doesn’t do any good. 

I would love to have a RB rush for 150 yards too — that’s more than Sanders has in the last 7 games COMBINED

Would hope fans that have been putting money into this team quit doing so, why support tepper when he’s shown time and time again he’s not interested in building a winning product? 

I think he is interested he is just going about it as a moron would.  When you let you wife make football decisions then bad things ie Young happen

It’s so weird to see folks tell people who have been around for a long time to go root for another team because they are impressed with a player. It’s like a last resort when you have nothing else to say. 

It shows their intelligence, or lack thereof.  If you cannot admit you are wrong about this, then there is nothing to do but laugh hysterically at them.

There’s “impressed,” and then there’s “obsessed”. Quite a few on here fall into the latter and not the former

Also just to add. Maybe this is proof that maybe football isn’t that complicated?

I mean the same ignorant arguments against Stroud could be extrapolated to the Cam days when they would hate on his completion percentage or his “cerebral” abilities. 
 

Well I’m here to tell you a stat padder who throws screens all day with 70% completion rate isn’t better than someone who can consistently win 3rd and long with the game on the line. That’s what Cam did, that’s what Stroud can do.

Every year some team gets the best player at whatever position they draft. Hell, a couple of times that's even been us, but no team does it consistently.

I personally don't give a sh-t whether we get the best player in a given year as long as we get a good one.

It's still a team sport.

    • 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.
