How would Brooks be 100% after a November ACL tear? I’d be fine if he didn’t play until November. 

the studies out that looked at return to the playing field say the average player gets back on the football field in 11 months.   He has youth on his side so he could represent the quick side but the average would mean October is when he would be back to actually playing football.

Jack Plummer was surprisingly underrated in this draft. He didn’t exactly have the best team before he got to Louisville and given one more year at Louisville I feel he would’ve been drafted. 

100% would not have been drafted lmao. 

Dude was terrible. He only got picked up in the portal because Brohm was hired late in the cycle and he knew the offense. 

He would not, and should not have been drafted. Louisville often times won in spite of him. 

He has prototypical size. Thats it. Bryce Young has a stronger arm than Jack Plummer.

This is exactly what I thought--however, during the draft, someone said his return was slated for July 1.  That is too soon. imo, unless the complete tear is a faster process than a partial.  Maybe I did not understand what was being said.  I personally think they should IR him for four games and then take about 2 weeks to activate him--roughly midseason?

Right now, (and I think Sanders will be OK with the new OL--if he stays) we have a loaded RB room.  Penny, Blackshear, Sanders, and Hubbard without Brooks.  We can bring him along slowly.

They are projecting him to be cleared by training camp. He appears to be ahead of schedule. They still should ease him in early on. 
“Honestly, as far as rehab goes, it’s good,” Brooks said. “I’m out there, I’m running, I’m about to start cutting. So I’m progressing well. I’m right on track on where I need to be. For me to get back to camp, it’s also just a blessing. I feel like this injury’s a blessing from God just being that it gives me a chance to focus on a lot of other things.

Thanks for this. Good to hear this stuff from the player himself instead of guesswork prognosis.  We’ll get him out there when they think he’s ready, and sounds like it could be sooner than some think.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
