Need good slot WR... We do have one, Smitty, but we use him on deep throws. We either need to draft slot WR or move Smitty to slot. Gotta stop ignore position of need year after year.

Smitty should be our #2 not slot.

Never understood why Newton has such a hard time with short passes and why his passes always get tip. I mean he is is 6'6.....weird.

I'm completely speculating, but it could be because of just how big and strong he is.

Sort of like Shaq shooting a free throw, but not nearly as terrible. Cam has gigantic hands and a rocket arm, so when he needs to just loft a pass or put a little bit of touch on a throw he ends up throwing a laser dart that our RB or WR is unable to handle. That or it sails 10 feet over his head.

still funny that people think he should quit running and be just a pocket passer....

Do people actually think that?

some here think he should only run if forced to and referenced how Eli Manning plays the game. That he should play like Eli. They pretty much of implied that since Gettlemen is a dinosaur used to traditional play (his preference) that Gettlemen will be our HC and OC this year and have Cam follow Eli Manning's style.

I say Cam will keep on being Cam. They think a comment by old man Gettlemen suddenly means everything we know about Cam and his history of success if irrelevent when discussing his play going forward.

      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.
