After a rewatch of the game… is anyone weirdly confident about the future?

For the context of this throw out Tepper, just think purely football players, coaches, and our ability to get them via draft, cap, FA, etc. I don’t know how to explain this coming off a 37 point loss but a rewatch made me feel much better. We are going to be awful this year and get the #1 pick. Bryce has completely lost it mentally, there’s no fix when you get that look he had after his second pick. D Brown is out for the season, zero talent at RB until week 5 at minimum, we don’t have a second NFL quality end, and our secondary is a joke. 

For the future - Our OL looked great. We have zero talent currently at RB but with Brooks coming back I think we can be a 100+ per game rushing team later in the season. Our WRs were getting separation and being schemed open. I go ahead and extend Dionate if we can do it, he is a borderline #1 and won’t show out numbers wise this year because of our QB situation so hopefully can get him somewhat reasonably priced. Leggette looked good for his first game. Mingo even looked worthy of being a legit #3 if he can hold on to the damn ball. IF Brooks is worthy of his draft spot, this offense is a plug and play for a new QB and hopefully Canales gets his say on if that is Ewers, Dart, Sanders, or Beck. All those dudes will have a 1st round grade and I’ll give Morgan the benefit of doubt and say he will work with Canales to pick the right one. The defense will be a challenge next year as well, but I imagine we take a DE or CB with the Rams 2nd we got and then fill the other spot in FA. We will be in great shape cap wise next year finally getting all this dead money from Shitterer off the books and can build the defense back up quick with a few strategic FA moves balancing long term vs 1 year rentals. 

 

Coaching wise - Canales impressed me. Plays were there, we just did not execute. Yes it’s super early, but I think he can be the guy. Kind of nice for him he gets 1 full year to be a rookie HC with no expectations, there is just nothing he can do if Bryce is as mentally gone as he showed Sunday. Let him work out rookie HC issues with no pressure this year (he has his scapegoat we all know it) and come out firing next year with his guy. 

 

There’s hope…. Right guys? 

I’m with you. OL was good, receivers were mostly good, Brooks will be dangerous behind this line if he fully recovers. Defense will get there.  I liked what I saw from Canales.  Once we get a QB, we’re trending up.

I don't care what comes next, I just want to see a different QB. 2010 was so dreadful because I knew every weekend the offense would look like dog poo every Sunday. Last year was 2010 all over again, and as a bonus we get another season of the same crap because nobody wants to hurt the kid's feelings. 

I would gladly take Chris Weinke over this poo, at least he could throw the ball 40 yards. I regret being so critical of Kyle Allen. Rodney Peete was more exciting than this. This is Jimmy Clausen every freaking week.

I still have that mental pictorial of Clausen getting hit so hard his helmet was twisted and he was looking out the ear hole.

Any QB not named Daniel Jones / Bryce Young and we are competitive yesterday 

You can probably throw deshaun Watson in there also... The one bright spot of the past 5 years is lucking out in not getting that predator as our QB...

And yes, I'm aware if we had him, we probably don't trade the farm for Bryce....

If we made mostly good moves in the offseason and draft, it would still probably take at least 3 more offseasons to out together a better than average NFL team. If we made mostly average moves in the offseason and draft, it's likely to take longer than five years to put together a better than average NFL team. If we make mostly Tepper Panthers offseason moves, it's likely to take 2.7 billion years to put together a better than average NFL team.

One great offseason and they could be competitive with good coaching. Playoff appearance. That's how the NFL is built. We haven't seen a great offseason in the Tepper error. I don't even think we have sniffed a one good one. It's all ketchup on well done steaks here now.

Even one great offseason isn't likely to end up with a winning record here, unfortunately.

We've been rebuilding since before Tepper arrived.

He arrived and wanted to turn us into the new Pittsburgh. He turned us into the old Cleveland.

If we'd have tried to rebuild the Panthers as the Panthers, we might have had some success.

And here we sit with another year of frustration trying to assuage ourselves by dreaming over the #1 pick next season. What a bunch of chumps we are.

      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.
