Did Hogan make the trip??

they don't even need to play around with that. hopefully the last couple games of the season he'll be healthy enough to play some and we can see if we have enough in him to warrant not pursuing a CB in the draft or at least not being forced to.

hopefully between gamble, capt, butler, and hogan we will have a strong enough group and hopefully we bring in a solid vet DT, edwards gets healthy, and mcclain/fua grow in the offseason enough to put better pressure on the QB to help make our CBs and secondary better.

What doctors do our players go too? Almost every player of ours has a complication after surgery?

Actually Hogan was in College when he suffered the injury and under their medical staff and insurance, therefore this is not at fault on the Charlotte doctors.

Swelling in a surgically repaired joint is hardly considered a complication, it's more like the norm. Anyway, they see a variety of surgeons- Hogab had his surgery before he was drafted.

I would think so, especially with him practicing and that knee getting used to jolts etc the knee probably has to get into football shape. I know one of my friends when he was in high school played basketball and had to have acl reconstructive surgery and would swell up after games. Doctor recommended he did swimming rehabilitation to strengthen his knee.

I'm a therapist & it really does take about a year for an ACL repair to fully heal to the point where it is both as safe as possible & function has retruned to the point of taking the risk. That is with very good cohesive rehab. None of us know exactly how Hogan's rehab went, but I think I read he went to TX to rehab the injury. I think he got injured in December of 2010, right before the bowl game.

I'm glad they are bringing him back slowly, but swelling can be a problem, since it changes the joint space & adhesions can also put at risk for re-injury.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
