A legit secondary doesn't win anything.  Elite lines and elite QBs do.  The rest of it is window dressing.  CB is a complimentary pick for a team that is already loaded and needs a push to take the next step.  It should never be a #8 pick for team that is rebuilding. What a total waste.

This is right. Just a total nonsense pick.

The thing that really sucks is that Marty put us in this position with signing Shaq and letting bradberry walk. We needed a corner desperately with the receivers in the NFCS. I think Horn is gonna be a baller and some of y’all will eat crow just as far as him as a player. The only thing that will make this sting is if fields becomes a franchise qb. Because that position trumps every other position. 

Yea its the same morons who said that BB sucked too lol. You're right though we should have had BB still.

It's alright bro, take it in pace. Horn is a good pick, believe me, he grades a little lower than Ramsay. Our secondary is awesome now!

Horn's upside is better.  Still a bit raw.  And he played with his back to the ball a lot, which suggests that we will press more--meaning no more Pride 20 yard cushions.  Sub 4.4 and rarely falls for a ball fake.  Less S help needed.  It may have been our biggest need, but nobody realized it.

I sincerely hope that is GM-speak and he wasn't #1 on our board. I hope he meant "at the time."

They literally always say that though....Horn is a legit and sick af but they literally always say the player we take is the highest on the board.

Like link me one of our interviews where we go...yup I mean he was the 3rd best player on the board at the time but just went bahhh fug it

I see what you are saying, but our staff must legitimately see Darnold as above Mac and Fields. So they already had the best option available for QB. The GM from Seattle knows how to build a secondary and what they can do for a defense. Let’s just see what happens.

So I thought Fitty could go CB but with size.  I cannot see Horn being that player.  He had a lot of PI penalties.  He was a good player with upside but CB1?  Jeez this guy is risky.  Why was he the main target?  Don't get it.  Totally concerned with the eval.

I hope he's Darelle Revis 2.0  but this is a hideously stupid pick.

Surtain was available... someone please tell me why we didn't pick him? Was he not rated as the best corner in the draft? He is from NFL bloodline too!! And his dad was a corner NOT a WR! WTF Panthers? Someone please tell me that other annalists thought Horn was better than Surtain. I watched Surtain play, the kid can ball... I didn't see Horn play I have to admit, either way, how does this make sense??

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
