Justifiably, just on Countdown...

 

  • Cris said he is sick and tired of hearing about Smitty being the ONLY offensive weapon we have to help him.  Said Cam is one of the bright, young QBs and needs help.  He also said it's awfully hard when you have guys like RG3, Kap, and Wilson, and "some cities" won't stand behind their QB or be patient when he isn't being given any help.  I don't know what that last part was supposed to mean and certainly hope that wasn't intimated in some way to Cris, as he knows Cam really well.

 

  • Keyshawn said the same thing about our lack of offensive weapons.  Said we have nothing outside of Smitty to help Cam.  Then said, we have $100 million in RBs that "can't get over the hump," and if you have your QB as your leading rusher considering that investment, you have a problem.  Interestingly enough, he said he didn't know our OC (Chud) had left to coach Cleveland until it was just reported by Lisa Salters (lol), and when they said Mike Shula is now our OC, he basically laughed and said "that isn't helping him."  He said Shula historically hasn't shown he can do anything in this league.  Wow (have to wonder if he heard things from Bucs teammates, considering Key went there a year after Shula was replaced as OC).

 

  • TJ then basically said the same thing, but added that all the other young QBs in the league have some of the best running games behind them, and Cam needs that.

They haven't really used the draft or FA to pick up anyone to grow with Cam Newton. They haven't really invested in the offense at all, except for the two high dollar RB's.  Take a look at what Indy did with Luck, they drafted him and then built an offense around him playmaker wise by using draft picks on players to grow with him. Washington went out and spent a ton of money on WR's to put around RG3. 

 

There's a reason it hasn't been working in Charlotte and it's because they haven't paid enough attention to putting young playmakers around Cam that he and the offense can grow with. There's Smitty and Cam Newton with a side of Greg Olsen and that's pretty much it on offense.

they trashed olsen so fug them

I'm not sure that's how they intended it to come off, but if it was, I think its because of his reputation as being a one-demensional player.

Regardless, they have a point. Look how the Skins, Colts, Hawks, and Niners have surrounded their QBs with talented playmakers, no matter the cost.

Cam has done the most with the least since snap one.

      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.
