Im not defending Rivera or JR i just dont think being cheap is the reason we have made terrible decisions, if this guy was so cheap why would he give away 10 million to UNCC

 

To get his name on the stadium, and give back to Charlotte after he asked them for money to put in escalators.

 

Allowing Fox to have a lame duck season is cheap, there's no number, pie chart, or quote you can post that says otherwise....

Losing NFC Championship games on the reg

 

This is and will always be terrible logic.  How often do we even MAKE the playoffs?  How many back to back playoff years?  Hardly ever, and zero on the second.

 

I wanted Andy Reid.  Too many people are buying into the "hate Reid" hype because he coached in the worst place in the universe to coach with the worst spoiled fans.  Not only did they treat Reid like crap, but McNabb also.  Andy Reid probably would have came here, and in a small market, he'd be a great coach.  But we don't touch offensive coaches and would sure as hell not pay for someone that is a proven guy that takes his teams to the playoffs.  Reid could do a lot of great things with Cam.

 

For the record, I would take a coach that gets us to the playoffs and NFC championship games more often than not over only making the playoffs like 3 times over the last decade and one super bowl run.  Getting to the playoffs at least gets you a chance.

I agree with you, my comment was more aimed at a knock on Eagles fans

I like Reid a lot as a coach, however Alex Smith is better suited for that O than Cam.

 

This isn't a knock on Cam by the way.

Always torn on the JR bashing because I love his loyalty to Charlotte but hate his football meddling. There's a good chance the Panthers would not still be here if it were any other owner and I still fear for the franchise's fate once he's gone. And obviously his UNCC contribution is just icing on the cake. I'll always respect him for his commitment to this city.

 

That said if Rivera makes it past the bye I'm deeply concerned about his footballing.

      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.
