So no need to respond to the poll thread. 

Unfortunately true.  I was interested to see who Huddlers would pick.  I posted the poll about 5-10 minutes before the news of Horton's being waived hit Twitter.  Oh well.

A bit surprised by this move given our poor Dline play recently...

Of all our mediocre pas rushers, he's by far the most pedestrian at pass rushing.

Agreed, but I had the impression he was strong against the run, and we've shown some weakness in that area too.  Altogether our Dline chemistry seems to be off, not just the pass rush (though that weakness has been most noticeable).

This team is falling apart.. Man I'm very worried about the trajectory of this team and the trend right now. Key guys are mentally checked out and mentally exhausted (Cam, Keek and Norman) we literally have no pass rush, depleted secondary..

We are still suspect after a bye, don't be surprised to see a Cardinals level type meltdown game in the divisional round. Fug!

    • It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.
    • I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.  
    • Tbf were not going to the superbowl this year so the development of our young wr is invaluable  As a side note 5 of our wr are in their 2nd year or less ( t Mac, Coker, tremayne, horn, x)  It's def a promising youth movement
