It could be worse. We could have extended Hardy for big money before the season.

Phew, now that was close. I praise Gettleman for not flinching and signing Hardy to a big contract. I really hate to say I told you so, but I believe most in here will remember my post a few weeks ago titled "Why resigning Hardy would be a mistake." And boy oh Boy im glad Gettleman shared my thoughts.

Imagine how much more mad we would be now had Gettleman extended Hardy for a 40 million or so contract. Yes we are stinking it up now, but alteast we dont have another big contract tied up in another overrated (yes I said it, OVERRATED) player from the Hurney era. Hardy is ok but put him on a team stacked with pro bowler DEs and hes the backup.

Man Gettleman is a pure genius. He knew not to sign big money to these Hurney players because he knew many of them simply arent worth it. Now I hope Gettleman really gets the ball rolling and blows this team up, get rid of the lingering Hurney/Fox stench and start over fresh.

yeah he's been pretty disappointing so far

I was right when I said resigning Stewie was a huge mistake and I was right about Hardy. Extending a player for a big contract after just one year of good play is downright foolish. I would much rather pay bigger money if the player has another good season then extending a player with pne good season and hope and pray it works out.

And just think, Hardy is in a contract year and stinking it up, Imagine if he already got his big contract.

      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.
