I am not one to normally jump on every player that hits the market (or in this case soon to hit the market)

 

I would like opinions on QJ. 

 

Rivera and Wilks know him well and he might be a good fit for us.  I know the article mentions Washington but who knows maybe the SD-Carolina pipeline is alive and well.

 

Thoughts?

I agree Carolina-Chuck.  Might be a decent fit at safety.  I mentioned this with the Charles Woodson thread but Rod Woodson prolonged his career by switching to safety.    

 

What I do like is experience.  Someone who can mentor our young CBs even if he does play safety.  We just don't have that experience on the team since Chris Gamble left.

Would rather give our young guys a shot, Jammer was decent a few years ago but doesn't really give us much now.

 

i see people say this about players already on the team quite often and i've even said so myself in the past, but i'm more concerned with getting the best players on the field and winning than just seeing what some unknown commodities with promise have.

 

i'm more interested with winning than i am appeasing my curiousity re: young players.

 

if he's affordable and he can make us better....go get him. if the young guys can't beat him for a spot, move along.

At an affordable price he would be invaluable as a mentor.  As I stated earlier. We don't have that full time starter that can mentor our young DBs. 

Our young DB will have to learn by Trial by Fire.  

 

Rather a good DB with some experience to lead them.  Even if is from a nickel or dime position.

If anyone knows Jammer it is Rivera.

I would think he would be an upgrade over Norman or Florence but honestly I can only remember watching him three years ago at the latest. I would think Norman plays similar to a Jammer(sort of) and developing a young guy with potential and experiencing live bullets is a push in terms of the impact Jammer will bring (with his current skills) over Developing a young guy.

So in this case you err toward not spending.

Like most available guys on the market at need positions(CB!) there must be a huge red flag on his diminished skills or he is demanding too much money. If its the Jammer I remember a few years ago then yes..but im guessing he is not the same guy today.

In my opinion, we basically operated as a farm team for the last 3-5 years, possibly more...  So, the days of "we don't need to sign X let Y develop," are over.  You still draft talent that you expect to contribute immediately, but you don't count on every pick in rounds 3-7 to be starters like we did under Hurney.

 

Taking all that into consideration, we have plenty of homegrown talent already developed on this team.  It's now time to add the much needed complimentary pieces to complete the process and put us in a position to compete for a Super Bowl NOW.

      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.

      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.
