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

      Dak Prescott

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.

      The Untold Story of Xavier Leggette

      By shaq · Posted

      Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.

      I haven't been high on any of the WRs we drafted in the past.   This kid though is someone I actually wanted. I have a feeling we finally hit big with this kid. I'm expecting him to be a DJ Moore caliber WR.
