How did we botch it? He was handled with kid gloves.

That said, we should cut him now. He'll be a non-contributor for 2 years. No use for him on the roster. 

He’ll be on IR. Not the roster.

[CRA]

going forward, we should pretend he doesn't exist.  Whatever you get out of him is a bonus. 

We need a Hubbard compliment.  We should draft one in round 4ish.

The Carolina Panthers tear ACL's like it's going out of style.

It wouldn't matter if it was, TBH. It rings hollow unless Philly wins a SB.

Not really. It's a team sport. You win as a team and lose as a team. The QB pretty much is the most important player on the field, and affects and effects the game positively or negatively. If Daniels plays out of his mind, that doesn't cast a negative light on Barkley or his acquisition by the Eagles.

I REALLY hope so. Tbh I’m not sold on Morgan either. He needs to have a really good draft after last years disaster draft. 

Agree 100%. At this point it's tough to argue that our 1st and 2nd round picks weren't drafted too high. Whether it's Tepper, the GM, or the scouts, the front office has made some head scratching decisions in the last few years.

I agree with some of these comments. Why did we wait until 1/18 to have surgery when he was hurt on 12/8? 42 days seems long. Pretty much seems like that guarantees no play in 2025.

what a fugin bummer.  especially considering how good he looked.  maybe after a much improved 2025 season he will be the cherry on top heading into 2026 making a considerable playoff push

How good he looked? 22 yards on 9 attempts and 3 catches for 23 yards is all he did. We barely saw him and I don’t think we can say he looked really good. 3.8 yards per touch on limited touches isn’t flashing anything. We won’t see him until 2026, so who knows what we have and how long he’ll last.

Poor kid. Here's hoping he someday gets a chance.

In the meantime, someone else will be getting an opportunity and hopefully they can make the most of it.

hopefully he has the impact on the run game post surgeries that TD had on defense after his surgeries.

He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:

 

 "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR."

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/

 

 

Regarding your first question...

"The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed."
