He said he will be ready by 7/1 for training camp?

That doesn't mean he will play. That's when he can first start doing any sort of training. That's an aggressive timeline just for that given he tore his just 5 months ago.

There's zero point in rushing him in to games.

Much has been said about ACL injuries out of college basically being NBD. You still have to be extra cautious given your investment we didn’t take a late round flier on Brooks we drafted him high. This is the drawback.

We can easily pickup another back or two after cuts.

But this talk of carrying 5 RB's like we're playing 90's football is not helping my confidence in the passing offense for 2024.

Which means absolutely nothing.  Should have drafted a center and then a rb next year

Neither of which isn't likely to start this year so not  huge difference in that respect

When he is cleared to play means something lol. You are so whiney…

Brooks said the ACL tear he suffered in November didn't come with any damage to other ligaments -- a factor that likely contributed to the Panthers' confidence making him the first back selected in the 2024 NFL Draft (46th overall). He's begun running and plans to resume cutting soon, with the intention of participating at the start of training camp in late July, shortly after his 21st birthday

He should get some touches early on and eased into the starting role.

Blackshear is a JAG.  There's a reason he's buried on the depth chart and keeps only getting one-year deals for peanuts.  Depth has been an issue at RB, not so much anymore.

I think he was 6th in yards and 2nd in average and he's got decent hands. Good 3rd down and top of mark returner.  

He should have a similar impact on new returns as well. 

I think he's a little more than a JAG. He's had a home on the Panthers for 3yrs and fought off players during.

cleared to play and being 100% are 2 completely different things.  Go look up how long it takes a nfl running back to get back to form.  We have posted it for you and you refuse to acknowledge.  So how about this.  If he is such a stud and he will be ready for action week 1, whats your prediction for the season for him?

a healthy rookie center getting reps and starts is 1000% different then a rookie rb coming off an injury having to monitor his touches especially in a crap year and especially when the starter has 2 shot knees

There is a big range depending on the injury. This one was just a clean ACL and he is recovering ahead of schedule. Everyone is different you posted a study showing averages. Check out Adrian Peterson tearing his ACL and MCL and playing great 8 months player. 
 

I agree he will be eased in but I think he is our feature RB by midseason. Obviously how he plays depends on how well our passing game looks. Having 8 in the box like last year will make life tough on any RB. 
 

Last December, Adrian Peterson suffered a serious injury, tearing both the ACL and MCL in his left knee. However, after ACL reconstruction surgery and months of physical therapy and rehab, the Vikings star made a stunning recovery in order to start the season with his team. As of November 15, Peterson led the league in rushing and had scored at least once in each of the last four games. While an ACL injury often destroys sports careers, commentators are saying that Peterson may be performing better than ever

Honestly I dont want to cut him. He has been a good player int he league and when at his best is a CMClite. 

I would rather wait and see what he does behind a good oline then straight out cut him. 

yeah, we don’t get any or probably very little benefit from cutting Sanders we need to ride it out this year. And I agree on expecting better with a better line in front of him.

He looked so ’not good' I wondered if he was playing through something. I have a feeling he could mildly surprise people.

there was no benefit to cutting boz, bell, and Hurst......but Dan did it. 

Honestly I was shocked, he must have hated having them as Panthers. He should have kept them on as backups for at least this year. If they didn't agree, well take a massive pay cut in order to be cut or enjoy the bench. 

Turtle and sanders somehow missed this.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
