Coach Rivera says he has a plan if Chud leaves [that doesn't involve major changes]

Panthers head coach Ron Rivera has had to prepare a plan in case Chudzinski is rewarded with a promotion, and it doesn't include major changes to scheme or personnel, he said. "No matter what happens, we still have to go forward and we'll still have the same players and pretty much the same scheme, so we'll see how things unfold," Rivera told PFW.

God no, please don't promote Shula.

From Shula's bio on panthers.com:

In addition to Shula's work as a quarterbacks coach, he presided over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense as offensive coordinator for four seasons from 1996-99. The Buccaneers reached the playoffs in two of Shula's four years, advancing to the NFC Championship in 1999. Shula helped quarterback Trent Dilfer earn Pro Bowl honors in 1997 when he set then-team records for touchdowns and most consecutive pass attempts without an interception.

Doesn't sound all bad..

From the same article

WR Steve Smith decided he wanted to stay with the Panthers last offseason after considering other options, and he went on to have his best season since 2008, making the Pro Bowl for the first time since that season. To say he was reenergized by the arrival of QB Cam Newton would be inaccurate, though. Smith told PFW. "There are passes that Cam threw me that I could have went and got (during the 2010 season), but they just weren't thrown to me," he said. "How do you recharge a battery when it's never been dead? You're going to update my software and I already have the iPhone 4S? What are you reenergizing? (Newton) isn't making me run. What makes me run is my fans, my three kids, my wife. … Cam has been a missing piece that we've needed, but he hasn't reenergized any of these batteries that were already juiced up."

Love Smith

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • 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.
