The lack of leadership is right on the roster list (Years Experience)

I will say, simply being a veteran doesn't make you a leader but if you sort our roster by NFL experience, holy hell is it telling.

Our most senior vets:

1. Cam Newton - 11 years (mid season pickup who we unceremoniously kicked to the curb.  We were left needing to bring him back because we suck)

2. Patrick Omameh - 9 years (who the f*ck is this?)

3. Matt Barkley - 9 years (mid season pickup, trash journeyman with a big arm)

4. Willie Snead - 7 years (mid season pickup, journeyman WR)

5. Matt Paradis - 7 years (Riding out his final year into the sunset on his absolutely average play and average salary for a starting C) 

6. Ameer Abdullah - 7 years (mid season pickup due to injury, dropped by the Lions)

Other 7 years: Cam Erving & John Miller...puke

So there's our senior crew.  Our esteemed veterans the young guys can learn from.

Pretty great right?

Thanks Rhule.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree. The primary issue in this regard isn't the player roster.

Do the same thing with the coaches and their years of NFL experience and I think you'll find the root of the problem.

I think it’s a problem with that considered. If I’m a green coach, with a green OC, I’m getting a few vets that at least know what they’re doing.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
