I only watched Horn at the end of his career so I dont have a great reference. Looking at his stats though he was not even top 3 in Saints history though.  

I didn't watch much of him either, honestly, but we just drafted his son, so I thought I would put some respect on his name.  He was a 4 time pro bowler and is in the Saints Hall.

He was a very good receiver playing for less than stellar QB's.

I dont really know what the Panthers were expecting when you let Norman walk, play rookies at corner and had Bene as the #1 corner coming off of a broken leg, bad things are going to happen.

I thought that was probably Gettleman's biggest screwup as a GM.  Our secondary went from a fairly strong unit to one of the worst in the NFL in one offseason.

I agree, wholeheartedly. I still remember when the news hit on TV, I couldn't believe he rescinded the tag from Norman. What in the actual fug was he thinking?

He probably had to sign Kalil. Ryan was promoting him and JR was still the owner. Im not so sure his hand was not forced. 

I don't think he was the "forced" GM. His moves were his own. 

Hence why he was ultimately released, he didn't bend the knee. However, he did ultimately deserve to be jettisoned on his own merits.

True, he did get flushed for not wanting to extend the old vet favs.

Either way it was a colossal failure and he has been worse with the NYG.

I believe Julio’s 300 yard game was when he had an injured Bene, rookie Zach Sanchez, and rookie Daryl Worley covering him. Bradberry who had been doing well that season was out that game. 

Homerism or not, 89 over everyone else in the history of the NFCS since 02. He played on a run-first team and carried the team until Cam came along.

Bradberry was active and got hurt right away, like on the first drive. 
 

There is no way Bene covering Julio was in the game plan that week and it showed.

Really just depends. Since the best ones are still playing (Jones and Evans), who are both on track to be better than Smitty. Smitty is not the best WR or even second IMO. We can go back and forth with excuses and justifications all day long but those are the facts.

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
