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 I still remember when the news hit on TV, I couldn't believe he rescinded the tag from Norman.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

    • I'm suggesting that whether it's Mingo the receiver we just acquired from the Steelers the new rookie WR we are soon going to be drafting or whomever our QB still has to be able to get them the ball and particularly on deep passes. Or defenses will keep playing us exactly the same and we will be circling back to the same threads yelling at each other over why we think this or that receiver sucks.
    • I didn't say it was all on one player and only about winning and losing. But you also want your team to at least have something to build on from losses. Something positive to look back at and say hey we didn't win last week but we had a couple of decent drives to finish the game. Instead of getting your poo pushed in for 4 quarters by a team missing their starting QB. Why do you feel the need to pull our only MVP in franchise history into this? We aren't talking about Cam Newton. Different player different athlete different vibe different everything. That guy went to a Super Bowl with Ted Ginn Jr as his #1 WR. Nobody is expecting Bryce Young to be Cam Newton. But we're certainly expecting him to be more of a leader than someone like Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater who let's be honest were both a couple of milquetoasts. Especially when you consider that Bryce's leadership ability was 1b to the 1a of his processing ability as the key selling points of selecting him first overall. And I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with you trying to draw a correlation between simply asking for our #1 pick to spend more time this offseason building a rapport with his receivers and people basically saying CJ Stroud has a low football IQ or poor leadership or low character because of his father or that he's a diva because he didn't attend Peyton Manning's QB camp or because he went to an event wearing one piece of jewelry around his neck instead of sitting at home doing nothing until draft night. Bryce Young has already been afforded the benefit of the doubt before and following the draft. Certainly moreso than CJ Stroud was. And that is a fact. He is now facing the biggest test of his life as an athlete. I sincerely hope he responds and brings an edge this season. But so far I haven't seen anything to indicate that since finishing with one of the worst rookie seasons of the last few decades he's done much to alter his approach to development that he has operated with since high school and college. Some other QB's who already have the necessary physical traits to overcome other lacking areas might be able to get by without doing that. But unfortunately Bryce Young is already an outlier among outliers. He does not have that built in physical advantage. If he is going to succeed he's really going to have to put in extra work. Yes that involves forms of leadership. That's all I ask. I keep telling you this and explaing it from different angles but you keep trying to circle back to trying to portray me as hating or unfairly placing expectations on him like he's a newborn child and that might work on a social media site speaking on his behalf but it isn't going to matter to any of the defenses he's going to be facing in 17 regular season games next year who already have the majority of a season worth of game tape on him. I feel like I've said all I can. I don't see it necessary to derail this thread any further.
