IN your opinion, the five greatest things to happen to the Panthers in '09

agreed on all 5 but i would like to put all the rest of the new coaching staff as a group (the position coaches) somewhere in there.

i really can't argue with your choices or rankings, though.

This.

Can't remove anything RB listed, yet can't help but think Scherer and Baker will be worth their weight in gold.

I still remember how badly I wanted Maser out after 2005 and I think Magazu has been much better if you look at results. Yes he had great talent to work with on the first string last year than Maser probably evr did, no doubt about it. But where Maser really lacked IMO is getting the backups ready to play. Yes that is also part talent, but do we really think the backups were so much better talent wise last year than they were when Maser was the OL coach? Not so much, or the Cats likely wouldn't have let Hangman and Omiyale walk. In 2007 the Cats had the same two main RBs they did in 2006, yet the run game was improved (114 ypg vs 103 in 2006) with that raging QB carousel they had going in 2007 to boot. That has to be part OL play (and likely part OC as well).

My list first...

1. Jerry Richardson finds a heart

2. Ron Meeks

3. Jordan Gross contract extension

4. Mike Trgovac resigning

5. Everette Brown falling to the 40s on draft day

I would change it:

1. Jerry Richardson finds a heart

2. Mike Trgovac resigning & Ron Meeks hired

3. Jordan Gross contract extension

4. Chris Gamble contract extension

5. Everette Brown falling to the 40s on draft day

hopefully they still havent happened yet

But most assuredly this!! :cool:

Surprised no one mentioned Jakes extension.

Don't worry, if Jake has a good week 1, everyone on here will be hugging his nuts. Only reason people don't like him right now is because the last game was the debacle against Arizona.

1. Richardson getting a new heart

2. Having Marty Hurney and John Fox on board

3. Having an excellent draft

4. Ron Meeks bringing change to the defense/and new QB coach making Jake better, hopefully

5. Panthers smashing the Cowboys on primetime.

1. Delhomme's extension (THANK YOU PANTHER FRONT OFFICE :)!)

2. Pepper's holding out and being kept hostage

3. The secondary not improving

4. The Panthers trading a 1st rounder in a stronger draft for a 2nd in a weaker this year

5. Delhomme's extension (I have to be greatful for this 2x for how great it was :))

    • 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.
