So is Darnold and we needed a CB1 in the worst way. Horn has been incredible thus far. I’d say we’re good. 

Yes. Because we haven't hear his name a lot so far besides that pick, people don't understand his importance but he's played lights out so far in his brief career. He's shutting down his man and it's HIS ability that's allowing us to blitz like we are. His addition plus Reddick and Fox has allowed Snow to run the defense the way he wants. This defense is great and will make us a potential playoff team with the play of the offense. The offense needs more time to reach their potential and we will have to improve our OL in the future but we have the foundation of something special here. 

Horn was a great pick and has made our team much better both this season and definitely for the future. Anyone who can't see that is blind. Darnold for a 2nd and getting Horn at 8 was gold for us. Our staff knows what's up. Eventually those fans that haven't got it yet will. 

I wish Fields all the best but he doesn't play here so I don't care about him. I'm more than happy with Darnold and Horn instead.

Other then Sam’s bad interception this was a perfect win. Our defense is so good we only need Darnold to be solid. 

I’m re-evaluating ..  ball must travel a ( 1, One ) yard to be an interception..  No it wasn’t a fumble. 
It was Darnald handing the ball to Nu Aweleans the ball .  
He will attend a mandatory therapy where he learns it Ok , not to give the other team the ball.  This is all a derivative of playing for the Jets too long ..  

This won’t happen again

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
