Hates Cam at CAR. "Will totally implode at Carolina". We'll lose be 0-7 might not win any games. Blah blah.

Yes it's Colin Cowherd but that seems to be the feeling I get when listening to many pundents around the league - CAR is a small market franchise that has nothing to surround a QB and will throw a poor guy to the wolves and everything implodes. No one has ANY confidence we can develope a QB properly. We're going up against 3 potential Pro Bowl QBs in our division 2x every year. They'll pick us apart etc.

Part of this is b/c most around the league DON'T have respect for us or for alot of small market franchises in general that are fairly new. Part of this might be b/c the scenario I described above sounds familiar though (Clausen last year anyone??)

I believe the way to go is to somehow get some veteran (ANY veteran) that has some experience and let him start. If nothing else throw Clausen back out there so at least he can get another shot and KEEP CAM ON THE BENCH! For those that think we should start CAM immediately you are absolutely out of your mind. Unless you just want to ruin yet another QB you have to let him sit, mature and learn!

I believe I see his point on Cam getting destroyed here.

Cam flat out needs to sit for several seasons to learn to play QB at this level. On a team like Carolina he will not have that luxury.

Cam would be MUCH better off going somehwere and sit behind a seasoned vet.

Finally a thoughtful response...

Agreed. Buffalo would have been a good fit b/c they have Fitz he can sit behind.

Again he must sit for at least a good part of this season and learn. If not - oh man....

Cowherd's logic is flawed.....like always.

Yesterday he said he would put his paycheck on Newton being a bust for the following reasons.

Drafted by a team with a new coach

Drafted by a team with a defensive head coach

Drafted by a team w/ a weak WR corp

Drafted by a team in a tough division

That was it.

Well, if that is his sure fire way to tell you a QB will be a bust.....then his logic means he would have thought....

Matt Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman, etc. (ALL 4 points appled to them when drafted) would have all been busts....and those were guys he praised as recent success.

      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.
