As I heard Ross Tucker say recently. Dont believe anything you hear this week.

Exactly.  They know we are starved for insight.  Some of their "insider info" could be provided by teams looking to create doubt about a player.

If nothing else, I just hope there's some fire behind this smoke that the Panthers are finally serious about trying to bring a true FS type safety into the fold. For the majority of our franchise history we've essentially played with two strong safeties. Honestly, Deon Grant might be the only real true FS we've ever had.

agree

It would be nice to have a player on the back end that can make plays for us

Even if it's not 1st round, get ne a guy with legit FS type skills. Last year, Xavier Watts was the mid-round safety I was pounding the table for. This year, if it's not Thieneman in the 1st, give me Bud Clark in the mid-rounds. I'm surprised he hasn't climbed boards. He has good size and is an absolute ball hawk. The concern was athleticism but then he ran a 4.41 at the Combine with a 38" vertical. He's an athlete. I figured there would start to be some potential 2nd rounder whispers but nothing. Still tracking as a mid-rounder. Like Watts last year, I think this guy is being overlooked and undervalued and I don't know why.

I love Bud Clark I agree, he is going to be a steal for some team ; great football player

I'm on team trade back.  Now would he be available at this position?  likely not, but I'd take McNiel-Warren in the same spot.  We need high upside starters at DL and S more than any other spot.  Late 1st round picks are for starters not necessarily superstars.

    • 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.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • 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.
