I wouldn't do it. Give him the off-season to fully recover. He's a huge piece of the Oline, but I think it's really not worth it this season. If we somehow make the playoffs, maybe for that game, but that would be the only way I'd even think of bringing him back this season. 

Basically how I feel, it's way more important for him to be healthy next year. I hope they learned something from bringing Jonathon Brooks back too early and he was out for yet another year.

If we weren’t in contention I doubt they bring him back, but since we are, they did.

This makes 15 weeks since the injury.  Let him practice this week, see how he responds.  If he feels good, let him play week 18 at Tampa unless we manage to clench this week then you hold him for the playoffs.

 

(I had to re-read that several times because it’s so weird to be talking about holding out guys for the playoffs haha)

It would be nice to have someone in there that would not trip our QB once a game.

I hear that but also the QB isn’t getting the depth on the first step like he is supposed to. That came in a press conference with the head coach. Faulted both players.  
 

As far as Hunt, a fresh Hunt at this stage of the season could be a nice boost if he is ready.

This ^.

We can't play for next year every year.

Bring him along slowly. Practice for a couple weeks and either activate vs Tampa or for the (gasp) playoffs, depending on how he feels. Don't play him hurt. But once you're in the playoffs nothing matters about regular season performance.

Mixed feelings. Would love to have him. A fresh Robert Hunt is definitely a great thing to have. At the same time our line has played well, and I'd love for him to fully recover and be ready 100% next season

.  
We’re paying him big money. 

We are in a position to win the division for the first time in 8 years. 

If he is ready he is an upgrade and our depth can go back to being depth. 
It really comes down to how he feels and what the medical opinions are. And then you proceed. 

If he isn’t ready, absolutely don’t put him out there but to assume he will be Brooks, you should have a good basis for it which I doubt you know and know I don’t. 
 

Also if he is Brooks, Brooks’ repair was likely gonna fail regardless and we found out in time to react, so now we have Rico. If Hunt is not going to heal, let’s find out sooner rather than later.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
