Very frustrating that he is injured again and we know that he heals.......real......slow. I think he is gone now and for the playoffs. Just a damn shame that he is never healthy,think he played two games this year or less and I forget how many he played last year. Was hoping that he could go,but as usual....not gonna happen.

Let's just say that RR stated that he is definitely out for Atanta at his press conference. If you read the tea leaves and consider Stewarts past health history and rehab timelines,I wouldn't add him to our depth chart for the playoffs.

He's a beast on the field, but i don't think he's ever been fully healthy nor that he will ever be. I wish we could get out from under that contract. His contract is worse than DeAngelo's. At least DeAngelo can play and he's made some huge plays for us in recent weeks.

Personally, I hope we've seen the last big money RB contract in Carolina. Very few continue to deliver afterwards. Adrian Peterson is an anomaly and a waste of talent in Minnesota. That shows you right there that you don't need a big money RB. Peterson is one of the best ever and the Vikes have mostly sucked with him.

I don't see the justification of keeping Stewart next season

The contract is awful. The cap hit would be huge. Our best bet would be convincing him to retire and working out an injury settlement. No way his agent goes for that though considering the contract. They'd be leaving a lot of money on the table.

Agreed, the best we can hope for is that he feels guilty about taking up a huge portion of the cap and is holding the team back. Maybe he takes a pay cut and wants to be here long term.

However the could be a sense of entitlement to the money, his body has taken a beating over his career dating back to his Oregon days. He may feel he is owed this money and who am I to say he's not. These guys all work for there one big pay day and he got his, to give some back may not be an option to him.

We can't be mad at Stewart because Hurney is a fugging moron. Or can we?

      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.
