It's hard to post the link from my phone, but Fox Sports is having a Thanksgiving thing saying how each team has at least one player to be thankful for. They picked Godfrey for Carolina, further cementing the idea that mainstream media has absolutely no clue when it comes to the Panthers.

Godfrey is a big risk/reward guy, he's good in run support and is a ball-hawk but these same qualities make him a liability in pass coverage.

The good news is that Godfrey has the tools to be good in pass coverage, he just needs to learn when to take risks and when to play it safe, just like Chris Gamble did.

Matt Moore was awesome. I'm thankful to have seen him play the few times I did. Also Mike goodson is a treat.

I don't really believe in being thankful though. That's just some weak stuff. It's survival of the fittest. If we had better people in our organization we'd be better and that's the bottom line.

I just thought it was funny that out of our whole team, they pick Godfrey. We should be thankful for Beason & Anderson IMHO, and everyone else is either on their way out or expendable.

Edit: Gamble & Martin are awesome too, but I'm bitter that I can't find a Gamble twill sewn-on jersey, so he can kiss my ass too. :D

I'm thankful for Jon Beason. I do think our d would be a lot worse with out godfrey, not because he's that good, its just that we dont have depth. If he settled down and started covering the field the sky is the limit, the guy has the tools to be elite

More likely that it reinforces the idea that Panther fans (especially those on here) are clueless when evaluating the impact and value of Panther players.

All I heard was moaning about hoover, lewis, etc....and none of those are ven on an nfl roster.

There's an old, time-honored tradition among national analysts that I like to call "highlight scouting".

If all you see are the plays that make the highlight reel - a nice interception, a bone jarring hit, etc - some guys can look pretty good.

Watch the whole body of worth though, as the local guys are more likely to do, and you get a different story.

Everson Walls of the Cowboys was one of the better historical examples of it. I can remember analysts talking about how great a corner he was, yet when I watched games he played in most of what I saw was him getting beaten like a drum.

This particular form of scouting probably gets applied pretty well across the board. I tend to think quarterbacks, receivers, defensive lineman and cornerbacks profit from it the most.

I guess O-Line pancake highlight reels just don't share the same pizzazz as those other positions?

I agree, Charles Godfrey does seem to display enough talent at times to make you think that he could be good in pass coverage, but until he learns how to play a little bit smarter, we might as well have Gilbert Godfrey out there.

Personally, I would have chosen Beason, Anderson, or Munnerlyn to be thankful for.

      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.
