Only on the huddle would they use that to beat the OL dead horse.

Is it really beating a dead horse if it is our weakest unit and could very well hinder our goal of a winning season or playoffs? You perceive fans refusing to bury their heads in the sand over our roster deficiencies as an insult and that's just very odd.

Yup.

We just got the DPOY for 6th rounder 2 years out.  Only on the huddle would they use that to beat the OL dead horse.

these are the same people who pushed trading the team for Watson and made comments about every single pickup that wasn't an All Pro QB. They don't see the holes in their logic.

Well, there's your problem. You're trying to think. Horn has talent, but it's still way too early to crown him when he's only played 3, count them 1 2 3, 3, games.

I'm not crowning him anything. 

I'm acknowledging his play in those games puts in the top of the league. Can you admit that, or are you going to continue taking the stupid route, and keep this personal.

No one is burying their heads in the sand frankw.  That is all in your mind.

NFL fans wanting an all pro quarterback and critiquing the decisions of the team? How unheard of.

Horn didn't look bad, but wasn't a world beater by any stretch of the imagination. The three games he played were against two rookies making their first starts and a guy that was considered a reclamation project at best. All three were under heavy pressure and didn't have a lot of time to go through their progressions to look his way much. When thrown his way, he's had one PD(tied for 128th amongst active players) and been in on five tackles. Oh yeah, he's had a flag tossed against him and jumped in the way of a teammate to get the gimme INT. Not bad, shows promise, but still just a talented rookie starting his career.

If you want to say he is the best corner the Panthers have, then that is more an indictment that the others suck at their jobs than him being a lockdown corner. Which, is why he was drafted.

Just as its too early to declare the rookie linemen who were drafted a success.  

Never claimed anyone was a success yet. Early returns on Slater show he is promising just like Horn. Early returns on Christenson in the little game time he got weren't as good. Hopefully, he plays better if he gets to play this week.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
