Horn is a fugging beast. This will be luke 2.0 with people looking dumb 3 years from now. We draft a O linemen in round 2 and we have a incredible, young team, and a 23 year old QB to build around with the 3rd most cap space next year with one of the best young defenses in the league 

What else is he other than 23?

the only thing that matters is wins.

you can win with a quality qb.

can he effectively steward the offense off play action as well

is he a blue collar worker who really does some nice things

can he effectively execute and distribute the ball with lots of grit too

Rookie already has stupid pressure to succeed because of where he was drafted. As previously mentioned, dude is gonna have to have Revis Island/Devin Hester level of impact to justify how high he was drafted.

 

 

exactly my perspective on this pick. Any other is complete and utter buffoonery.

What the hell are you on, They had Top 10 D for several years in early Newton years. Even were #1 for a while in 2015. How is that not Elite? lol wtf.

The 2015 defense was one of the most overrated of all time. Bend don't break is all we had those years. 2013 was the only elite year.

The Cowboys trade down and will probably still land a guy they want. This franchise is so stupid. We could’ve traded down and got Horn or Surtain. 

Definitely probably couldnt.  Surtain went the next pick and Dallas really wanted a CB as well.

Hence why he said rarely. It happened once, maybe twice.

It's because it's entirely difficult. Trying to build an elite defense is very very very difficult. You essentially must hit on late round all-pro talent to achieve it (Panthers 2013, Seahawks). It's so costly to draft a defense high and try to keep them all signed, almost impossible.

The irony of the 2013 defense is that we had UDFA/Nobodies across the secondary.

    • They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers
    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
