Sure he is a former Panther and stays involved with the team but I think he is a  straight shooter and tells it like it is. He surely seems more positive than folks around here and he surely knows a lot more than folks here. Feel free to respond to me but know I claim no expertise just repost those who I respect and think are.

Olsen's been very Carolina positive through the entire Tepper pooshow era.  He isn't a straight shooter. Not saying he should be.  G-reg got football plans and I think he wants lots of doors to remain open.

but I do think there is sort of a well placed plan in place and I think last season when they benched Bryce so quickly (and a move that was essentially moving on from him very quickly)........showed that.  Everything they have done but allowing the Bryce Young comeback mucking it up does seems to fit a plan.  Bryce Young remains the weird puzzle piece given the Canales O.

The elephant in the room being the QB.

I don't know why talking heads aren't brave enough to address it.

No one wants to be on record IF Bryce figures it all out. Plus Olsen has to remain somewhat impartial as an active announcer. 

As to the Tepper trash talk, I think he came into the league trying to swing his big brass balls around and quickly learned (I hope) that he'd do better and make more money by shutting TF up and letting the professionals make the decisions. Maybe not quickly enough, but I think he has stepped back some.

I am not unhappy with either Dan or Dave at this point. I know some are.  
I was unhappy that Young needed so much propping up but understand that whoever was in the GM job would have the same marching orders. 
Said I wouldn’t judge them for last year and this is on the clock. Can’t say I am down on either but I think Canales has the harder job and will probably ly need more patience.

I do think this super tiny window.......is really carrying way too much power vs the bigger picture.  Seeing it on lots of topics.  Things could really swing hard the other direction in a few weeks. 

huddle collective will take really hard swings in different directions after just a very small sample of good or bad.  Evero is the worst DC in the NFL written in stone to well......maybe....  Canales is a bad playcaller......well, Luke said something nice after a Rico Dowdle goes wild game.

I sure hope D & D don’t sacrifice the longer term on the altar of an imagined ‘window’.  We don’t need any ‘win now’ trades.  We are still in the rebuilding phase and need two more drafts minimum and intelligent FA signings to properly build this roster for long term competitiveness.

Canales has to be hoping and praying Dalton balls out. Just please have enough left in the tank that I can open up the playbook and show what I actually want to do on offense.

Are we not in year 8 of Tepper with only misery to show for it? 
It is hard to criticize people for impatience.

But we are going to have to find some more patience.

Greg is playing the media game no different than anyone else. He has a great deal of knowledge but he isn't going to bluntly assess the Panthers cons publicly. But he has eyes.

Abs you can bet he and his ex teammates will discuss off the record too.

I mean, he really didn't say anything specific. There were a lot of generalities. Of course we need to invest in defense like we have on offense, execute in the draft, and develop the players so we can start reaping the benefits and see the plan come to life on the football field. That's what it's all about.

      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.
