I would sure hope he has more upside than all of those guys - 23 years in the league between them and 2 Pro Bowls....at the #8 pick his upside better be 4-5 PB's at least and a few 1st Team All Pro's

If he's another Gamble I'd do back flips - that guy is massively underrated by Panthers fans. This coming from a Hurricanes fan who has never forgiven him for being involved in the 2002 National Championship travesty. That was never PI. 

Neither Bradberry or Gamble got Pro Bowls / All Pros because they didn't turn the ball over enough. Those are the flashy stats that voters want to see - that and playing in a small media market at 1pm every Sunday.

Don't get me wrong, I want Horn to be good . . . but that video . . . Horn had the leverage the entire time.  In a game, you simply don't throw that route.  Or the receiver options to an outbreaking route so the leverage works in his favor.

 

Well he only has one job.  Prevent the throw.   So yeah, he wouldn’t get the PBU in a game because a QB would be forced else thanks to Horn (insert whatever the seatbelt celebration is he does).

Jaycee had a better day today. With refs on the field throwing flags I didn't see him attract any negative attention. During 11 on 11 team drills he had a really nice PBU against Darnold and DJ Moore. 

 

Here he is defending the new guy Krishawn Hogan (who is 6'3 btw).

He was coached by one of the best in College, TRob, and he has the bloodlines. If he's improved his hand placement THAT quickly, and this snap wasn't just an aberration then this kid is going to be spectacular. He's clearly coachable as heck.

Yes. If he's got a lot of PBUs, that means the QB doesn't respect him enough and keeps throwing at him. I want a CB that QBs want to avoid. How do you get that? You do exactly what Horn is doing. You make the QB want to look somewhere else.

Just using the PB's as an example - agree with most of that just saying they never had longevity or the success I expect from Horn.  I liked Gamble and agree his was under-rated - but I don't think he was ever on the level of Revis, Sherman, Ramsey, etc... which is what I hope Horn gets to

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
