I watched it also and don't think he was the best player there by any stretch, but he shouldn't be. He's a Rookie training with some of the League's best established veterans. I was encouraged because he seemed to listen to coaching, which means he will get better and learn and that's about as good as you can ask for IMO.

Yeah, I think it was obvious he was there working to be what those guys were. Hence the mistakes he was making and the trainer correcting him.

The point being, he is learning what it takes to be a professional. Putting that kind of work into perfecting your craft and especially around elite CB's and NFL starters is exactly that. Really, the biggest advantage of Horn is probably being Joe Horn's son. I have zero doubt that he preached how much work it takes to become a professional. The hope is that accelerates his learning curve a lot. 

I expect Jaycee to get beat by some of these elite guys we have in the division early but perhaps only for a season or two. 

This was very exciting to see and I will give a counter example, that being the clip we saw of Jackson losing his cool a couple of seasons ago while getting coached/advised. I am glad to see Horn is already doing NFL veteran things rather than thinking they already have this figured out or are good enough as is.

I'm pretty sure his dad instilled a great work ethic in him.

Joe was working at a fast food restaurant here in Fayetteville before he got his chance.

He went from that to being one of the top WRs in the league for a couple of seasons.

Something that I think is also getting overlooked is this guys confidence. He doesn’t seem out of place in this video. He is working out with the leagues very best and he hasn’t even had a training camp yet. For most young men coming into the league this would be a little intimidating. Making a mistake, getting tired etc is all intimidating. But this guy just looks comfortable. He has star written all over him.

Well, he also grew up around it. That sort of normalizes it.

That's interesting. I would have thought it would have been more than that.

Yeah they asked him after his first trip to Carolina what it was like walking on the field for the first time. 
 

Then someone asked if he grew up around the guys in the locker rooms with his dad and he said he only went to a couple practices with him growing up and was only in the locker room twice as a kid.

I was really surprised as well. He definitely instilled a competitive nature in him but it didn’t sound like he grew up around it much from what I heard. But who knows? He didn’t have a typical childhood with his dad being a pro bowl receiver either so your point remains valid haha

It’s slow news day so I thought I would just throw something up for you guys to watch. 
JC is working out with some other CB’s in the league.  
He will have some up and downs his first year but his future is bright. 
 

AFTER 15 YEARS OF SOFT ZONE I AM SO PUMPED TO WATCH SOME PRESS MAN COVERAGE!!!!!

 

Jaycee is one big, tall Cornerback.     Didn't realize he was this big.

BTW, Noah Igbinoghene looks like he could be a Pro-Wrestler.  lol.

You heard the coach mention his size. He’s bigger than everyone there and doesn’t look out of place with his agility. That’s impressive. 

That Noah guy in the vid (with the Sunglasses and the shirt off) looks like a Pro-wrestler, though.  lol

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
