If I'm a GM, I'm not taking a RB in the first two rounds unless they are a transcendent talent. Brooks was good, but nowhere near transcendent. 

Pretty much this. Of all the injuries for a RB too, you took one with an ACL tear. Just insane. Especially when RB wasn't even in our Top 5 need positions. Maybe not even Top 10.

Feel horrible for the kid. 

I'm hoping someone in the organization gets him in touch with TD.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, he'll just need to attack his rehab.

Reminder to all that Adrian Peterson tore his ACL/MCL and came back with one of the best rushing seasons in NFL history.

Its funny... a lot of people on the board celebrate the loss, cause they want a better draft pick, but then crap on the Brooks pick because he got injured.. 

Like you would think that those same people would be happy that he's heading to IR as it reduces the chance of us winning games while brining a talented player back next year..

 

This makes no sense. We don’t celebrate the loss, but we aren’t sad that we had almost won a game no one gave us a chance to win and we also stayed in a top 5 pick.

Brooks getting hurt is good because Chuba’s been a strength already so Brooks wasn’t winning us games with 3 carries. Brooks also isn’t “back next year” if he tore his ACL. He got hurt in November of 2023 and he has 8 carries in 13 games. He just got hurt in December of 2024, do you actually think he’ll have a significant impact on next year? Based on the last recovery timeline, he might be off IR and getting eased into the lineup in week 14 next year.

People are upset that we had a stud C available who’s helping Pittsburgh have a great year and we took a RB that is effectively missing his first two years as a 2nd round pick.

Winning by losing a very close game and Brooks being hurt again are two completely different things.

There’s a handful of day 3 RBs in the same draft having decent seasons.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.
