What do you want from him? He can't change his competition. You still have NFL offenses who were scared to throw his way last year. In a league where Carson Wentz and Joe Flacco are throwing 300+ yards per week this year, you can't just say he's no good because he shutdown mediocre opposition. Especially when he did it as a rookie. I'm not sitting here anointing him as the 2nd coming of Darrell Revis; I'm willing to acknowledge that the book is still unwritten on him. That's all I'm asking the haters to do as well.

There isn't a thread where I have bashed Horn one time this season.  He is a rookie.  He is supposed to take the lumps and learn.   It's totally normal.  And I don't freak out because he is handsy.  We drafted a handsy corner that was going to have to learn to play at this level and that opportunity was robbed of him last year. 

just pointing out that part of the reason some, not me, are hard on him presently.....is because some built him into something he wasn't.  He wasn't a shutdown corner last season.   He was a rookie that played against trainwreck offenses.   

and I can seperate the fact we shouldn't be drafting CBs in the top 10 given the state of our franchise at the time from the fact that Horn himself was a great prospect.  Both were true.

That's fair. I just disagree on the shutdown aspect. There's a clear difference between this year and last year. No one could get open on Horn last year. He had them smothered and QBs just ignored his side because there was nowhere to throw. Meanwhile this year, his stats are certainly aided by the fact that the qb on the opposing team wasn't talented enough to take advantage of his lapses in coverage and when they did, he had a tendency to commit a penalty to stop it. If you are arguing the same thing was the case last year, I definitely didn't see that and I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree which is fine. I'm attributing the difference to rust and recovery from his injury. I don't know if you are saying he was every bit as shaky last year but the offenses were so terrible it didn't matter. If so, that's where we would definitely disagree.

Good QBs make plays to good WRs that are "covered". Horn to date, still hasn't experienced what life is even like as a NFL CB because he hasn't faced a single good QB.  Nor has he faced a good QB paired with a good WR.   

I just think too many overstated what he was going into this season.  Horn isn't a lock down corner.  He hasn't had the opportunity to even make that case yet.  But it shouldn't really be something people are looking for yet IMO.

i really liked the idea of an innovative guy who was into analytics and had turned a couple programs around. still a good idea. we just don't have that guy. i thought that coming from college where things are more progressive would have been an asset, and with the right guy it might be. the problem...one of quite a few...is that coaching kids in college is a different beast than coaching grownups. totally different mentality. someone good at one very well won't be good at the other. people generally coach at the level they are best suited. one thing is for sure, you can't do the same things at one you do at the other. it's not "all just football".

and no...mccarthy wouldn't have been much better. we'd still suck, it would just be a different kind of suck.

College is more about talking to parents and selling them. The NFL is more about understanding what the offensive and defensive norm is and coming up with solutions to that problem. Every team has great players that do this as a job. Rhule is just out of his depth and it's why we don't win.

I mean we have Horn playing soft zone 5 yards off the LOS with Chinn trying to play FS and Burns (our only pass rusher) dropping back into coverage on 3rd and long.  No wonder teams are converting....

Can we send this to Phil Snow?  Watching them rush 3 dropping burns into coverage made me want to physically puke.

Good analysis

Bro I shouldnt have to spell it out for you.  But here goes.  We have zero takeaways, 4 sacks and we played one backup qb and daniel effing jones.  Beating your chest and proclaiming this is a super bowl defense is retarded at best. 

 

Also where are you seeing they are the 9th best?  I would love to look at those stats

People are hating on him because he was taken at a very high draft spot but has not produced any game changing plays.

Derrick Brown 2.0 so far.

Just another on the list of Rhules crappy draft failures.

One hit in 3 seasons and that is Chinn who they want to play 20- yards off the LoS so he cant make plays.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Just looking at this moment in time, rather than holding off until we see something for it, I'd have to give it a B+/A-. We added a lot of players and a lot of potential. We may have reached a bit with our first pick, but the simple move to make it at the end of the first round gave us a shot to make it last a bit longer if he really blossoms here. That was a pretty smart move and had a lot to do with Morgan and Beane's relationship I think.  Picking up an injured running back in the second sounds like a foolish move, but honestly, it's a solid gamble. We know what the floor would be on the pick, that he might never play at a professional level due to that injury. And honestly, that is the floor on any pick you make. The ceiling on the guy could potentially be immense. He was outstanding on a mighty fine team that was pass heavy and he doesn't have a lot of mileage. If that knee heals up completely (and we have a lot of experience with that in Carolina), he could be a massive steal and just what Bryce needs. There are a lot of people harping on our LB pick, but man, I always take it with a grain of salt when folks decry a player's "football intelligence." It's one of those criticisms that is easy to lodge against a young guy, but really hard to quantify. It might be nothing. His reputation for being a hard hitter and instinctual tackler are more important I think. He's going to have a good mentor in Shaq in the LB room and there's an institutional strength in our LB corps that could give him quite a boost. Our TE pick in the fourth may very well be the steal of the draft. I think we're going to see some serious production out of him. I'm hoping for something Olsen-like. He's definitely an upgrade to what we have now. And from there, well, the tea leaves get a little harder to read. I think Morgan did well with the trading and he cast a wide net for positions. We're going to have to see how it all shakes out, but just based on the three days of picks and the work that went into them, it was a good performance, better than I expected.

      The 5th year option wasn't even considered.  I don't care what Dan says. They traded up because they got wind someone was interested in Legette. Whether that interest was real or made up is unknown.
