Can anyone answer if the medical team who worked on his ACL are the same group that fixed Thomas Davis. Did a great job on his tear using a different operation that Brooks had done and he came back a beast after 3 tears. Brooks will be 24 next season and had lots of potential.

How will this effect Dowdle and Chuba next year? Will they try and keep both of them and let Brooks walk? Or take another chance on the rookie?

Opinions?

Dowdle won't be here next year more than likely. Im really hoping Brooks can get healthy and be something for us. He was so good at Texas.

I'm more worried about not playing football for over 2 years more so than the ACL surgeries.

2 years off. Dont expect much.

He’ll have to be rotated in very slowly or he’ll hurt something else.

Our Offensive Version of Thomas Davis Hopefully.

It’s crazy I keep forgetting about him

I would imagine he likely gets released after TC.

I haven't written him off, but I am not ready to let Rico/Chuba walk because I am expecting him to produce

Really rooting for this kid to get healthy cuz he is amazing when he can play.

I would say both are significant concerns.

This guy was like legend of high school Texas football material.  So much potential 

Gained 3,849 yards from scrimmage and scored 65 offensive TD's (70 total) as a senior; helped Hallettsville to a 13-3 record and a Texas 3A D-I state runner-up finish

Best to just forget about Brooks IMO.  At least in terms of real planning.  If we get something out of the pick at this point it’s a nice surprise.  No way you can pencil him in as anything

They said the same about Davis as I recall. I would think he has talked to the rook about the injury. You never know, kid maybe another tough one like T.D.

Ive said this before and its heartless but real spit. The Panthers need to operate like Brooks is not on the team. (not in the sense of his rehab, but counting on him to play snaps). If by some chance he's able to play, its a big bonus if he's still the guy from Texas. 

I give him 50/50 he takes another NFL snap. 

They drafted Trevor in the 4th and gave Hubbard a mid RB bag. I wish Dan would stop investing resources into the RB spot..... I mean look at what a 2.5-6 million type of RB was on the market with barley any competition to sign..... The market is lowest of low and all Dan does is invest 2nd rounder, 40 mill, and early 4th rounder......
