we tried to trade back but couldnt get the value we wanted in return. Taking Horn was the right move at our pick position. One weakness vs another. We chose to go defense over offense. It's one way or the other, no wrong decision, its philisophy at that point.

A competent starting left tackle is light years more valuable than a competent starting corner.  Its not even in the same discussion.  And this is coming from someone that loves Horn but if Slater turns out to be an above average LT then we done fuged up in not picking him for some stupid reason that his arms were a quarter inch too short.

Yea I mean you go all defense in the draft one year after having the one of the worst oline…then you draft one (and I mean one as in high draft investment (well as high as Grier went), hard to count where you don’t even have the other [Brown] active on game day). After having a below average ranked oline (18), thanks to 7 games or whatever from Okung. Otherwise easily bottom third of NFL.

Looking at decent NFL olineman the best ones really do go long before the half of the third round.

You can’t pay busts more money and expect them to do well. And big men do not heal. They just don’t. Proven over and over again.

Paradis gone next year. Every year I say this is the year the Panthers invest in oline but seriously 2022 literally has to be that year. Maybe Brown and Christianson will step up and the plan will come into place.

Incorrect.

Imagine our CB depth now without Horn. In a passing league, especially in our division, it's good to have a shut down corner on your team.

Cmc had just under 100 yards rushing with backups at both guard spots. Was there pressure? Yea, the Jets only good unit is the Dline and they get paid too. I’m still worried about Pass pro but the oline did fine and got a win. 

As with last year, you will once again see them get exploited by the Saints. A good team …or really even an average team won’t allow what we saw on Sunday with backup olineman. Of course all our olineman are backups except Moton.

A competent LT is not even in the same stratosphere in value as a competent corner.  You are drunk to even argue as such.  A left tackle is the second most important position in football.

Nobody deliberately signs players they THINK are bad. But if a players objective track record and performance to date does little to suggest they are anything but, and then they show up and perform as others expected but not as you hoped, isn't that pretty much on you?

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
