IR him with no option of return...

I don't care if it's a 4 week or a 10+ week injury... this isn't a SB contending team yet and this kid looks like he has legit top 5 CB potential in this league.

If we were actual SB contenders, then sure, do what we can to get him back this year, but we're not, so let him heal up 1,000% and come back next year, don't risk his future as he has super high end potential.

IR him and it's like we get 2 first rounders to the team next year.

Today was the most depressing loss I can remember experiencing.

I mean we have no idea the severity right now. There's no reason to IR him to not return if he'll be fully healed in 8 weeks. I have no clue, maybe it is season ending but we don't know. And also we won

The severity doesn't matter if it's actually a broken foot... if he broke his foot, it's at minimum a 4 week injury, and even that would be quick.

But let's say he was completely out for 4 more weeks, that means a week 8 return to practice and probably a week 9 return to games.

Is it really worth rushing back a guy with his potential to play in 7 more games when we're not going to be serious SB contenders, while risking further injury?

If he breaks his foot twice in one year because he was rushed back, forget his top 5 CB potential, we're looking at a middling CB at best.

I've always been someone who is able to look at the greater and long term good than short term below average wins.  Had no problem rooting for us to lose in 2010, a losing season to get a difference maker is totally worth it in my opinion (and should be in any REAL fans minds).

If this team was a legit SB contender it would be different, but even with Horn fully healthy, we're just not there yet.  It's no knock on this team, they're great, but just very young and there are teams ahead of them for SB contention.  So I'm fine just letting him heal up, worst case scenario not having him out there costs us a game or two and helps us in draft positioning in the end.

Thank God it's only a broken foot but most importantly FUG TNF.....NFL should do away with it, the injury rate in these games is way to high 

Selfishly, as a fan, I love it because it feeds that football fix every 4 days, but when it's your team on the end of all the injuries, I'm all for nixing it myself.

We lost our offensive superstar and our #1 draft pick on defense in the same night bc of this bulllshit.  And I definitely think it's even tougher on the road team in these games...  but, yeah, tonight was enough for me.  At least push it to Fridays and give them one more day of treatment and such...  for all the fun and entertainment these games provide, it just isn't worth all the players that are lost to injury.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
