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 I still remember when the news hit on TV, I couldn't believe he rescinded the tag from Norman.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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
