Isn't what you said contradictory? If he quit after the Ole Miss game, wouldn't he have more targets because he would just be going through the motions.

Alabama also had elite talent at every position on the field on defense. South Carolina... Pretty much had 10 bums and Horn on the field. It is a lot easier to put up elite numbers and not get exposed when you have a dominant defense around you.

Not saying Surtain isn't good, but Horn definitely has the highest potential to be a shutdown corner

He literally quit and opted out after the Ole Miss game.   He didn’t figuratively quit. 

and I don’t and didn’t knock him for it.  It was the right call.  I support kids making business decisions like that.   He would have pointlessly been risking injury.   

He only played in 7 games vs Surtain who played in 13 games.  Surtain was targeted more because he played in almost double the games.   But they averaged about the same number of targets per game when they played. 

I agree Horn has the highest ceiling.  I like him.    It’s a weird convo about using the 8 spot that keeps being pulled into something it isn’t intended to be.

I think it was solid.  This defense going to wreck havoc. Jackson (please stay healthy), Horn, Brown, YGM, Burns, Reddick, Chinn, and if Shaq can step up this year. Top 5 defense. Offensively,  I think we did a solid job on addressing the line. The Alabama pick gives us a solid big guard. We have given darnold weapons and out of the 3 Anderson Moore or Marshall we should have a quality WR group that should work. With CMC back I think it opens up everything. We should be his next year with tons of potential and promise. But 2022-2023 season we will be a absolutely nightmare to any team.

Yeah, I’m way too old to just start throwing insults...because someone doesn’t have the same opinion on a football pick as me lol  

My family is full of Gamecocks.  Got family and friends that played there.  I go to games when they ain’t playing Clemson.  

Life ain’t that serious.  
 

So obviously you know that the Gamecocks had absolutely no pass rush.  Amongst the nations worst.  QBs sat in the pocket all day.  As we all know, it’s extremely difficult as a Corner to have to defend a WR while the QB has all day to throw.  Since you’re throwing out all these stats, did you bother comparing that pass rush to what Surtain’s DL did for him?  Or would that have hurt your argument too much?

I mean, if you have read my thoughts on Horn....then you know I have discussed the shitty situation he was in and defended him opting out after the Ole Miss game. 

If you think Horn is a better present day corner than Surtain and Farley (if he were healthy)....have at it.  Draft weekend is over.   I think we drafted him because his ceiling and attitude gave him a bump up and over those two.     

My preference is always pure BPA in the top 10.  Which meant you didn't pick any of the corners.  You don't have to have my preference.

Horn's numbers improved in his final season is college. I was wondering why the jump? It's because he started grabbing receivers and the refs let it go. In the NFL the flags will fly. He needs to stop that.

the legion of boom made their mark by doing this.

playing physical but not completely crossing the line and breaking the rules.

Just admit you have more of a problem with the name on the front of his college jersey than the one on the back and that's what clouds your judgement. The "I'm just being objective" shtick is pretty lame, but I guess I shouldn't expect less from a guy who moderates a forum for free and has 50k posts.

Seriously.

And he keeps saying that Jaycee “quit” when in reality the kids whole family was going through some pretty serious Covid sh!t... “Quit” smfh. 
 

15:40 mark.

What was the context of bringing up him opting out? 

the context was explaining to someone why Surtain despite having more targets on the year....was actually targeted the same amount per game.  Surtain played 13 total games.  Horn played 7.  

and since it had to be brought up, I made sure to note that it wasn’t a knock on Jaycee.

* the person I was talking to was admittedly unaware of it.

I also noted pre-draft I would love Horn....the issue was just taking him at 8 for me given who would be there.   Again my preference is BPA in the top 10.  You can have a different one.   Everyone is bragging about  Daniel Jermemiah's top 150.  He had Horn as the 14th BPA in the draft. Fields, Smith, Surtain and others were there at the pick.   Which backs the preference I had at the time. 

as stated, I get why they made the Horn move.  Which was ceiling and attitude/edge (that he wants to inject).

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
