I hope you guys have reasonable expectations for a rookie cb that just came off a serious knee injury.

He justs need to feel the speed of the nfl and hopefully take a few hits...make a few hits and make a play or three in the next few games.

I really love to see him pan out and we can aquire another player in the secondary...Gamble at FS in a couple of years?

I definitely have tempered expectactions for what we will see from him on Sunday.

I woudl consider it a huge win if he shows flashes of good play....evidence of what will come next season.

What I am most excited about seeing is whether he has the athleticism, speed, and quickness to make it obvious he is our #2 CB. Can he look like one of the best players on the field? With flashes of what is to come. Or is he just another Butler?

Would be nice to have an athletic CB capable of making plays. Hope this kid can show me some glimpses that he has that ability.

Then again, I always feel this way about players getting their first opportunity. Hopeful optimism is my motto.

My giddy is built on hope. And GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Can't wait to see what he can do. I don't expect him to be Revis, but I think he can bring physicality to the corner position that we haven't seen this year. Hogan's play to close out the year very well might decide who we draft in April.

Not sure whether Hogan's play, either good or bad, will have any bearing on how we draft this year. I do not believe CB is high on the list of must haves. Unless some oddball scenario pops up, we probably will not address the CB position with any substaintial draft pick or FA.

Just a thought. And GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
