For the second week in a row, D-Jax did not finish the game due to getting nicked up on some innocuous play. 

This is not just a two week occurrence, I cannot remember another player that gets consistently injured and taken out of games more often than Jackson. It happened earlier this year against the Giants, and it has happened numerous throughout his career.

The above link shows some of the injuries he has sustained over the course of his career. It's not a short list.

DJ is a great #2 corner but I agree his inability to stay on the field is a concern. Missed 3+ games each of the last 3 seasons. If I recall he's had a lot of lingering soft tissue issues which never seem to go away completely. I still don't think his contract is bad but combined with Horn also missing time, it really stresses the importance of depth at corner. Henderson has really struggled but he's better than most team's depth corners. Also I do like Keith Taylor in a depth role, he had a good game yesterday.

Yeah, not fun hearing the broadcasters talking about Surtain as the best young CB in the game (hasn’t missed a game) and seeing Parsons score a TD and just be unreal at times. Parsons has that takeover the game ability that I think we all wish we saw out of Burns.

Oh well, we wouldn’t be the Panthers if we did everything right! We all watched the game yesterday so we know.

I have good faith in hoping Horn will still be great and you can't destroy yourself playing the hindsight game but oy vey!

I know this is a hell of an accusation, but it seems like he tends to get hurt after he gives up a big play. 
 

Might be a coincidence, but it appears as if there is an element of “see, I got hurt, that’s why I gave up the play” going on. 

That happens A LOT.

I have more of a love/hate relationship with Jackson than any other player on the roster. He’s so boom/bust, but he’s likable; he pisses me off, and then shows himself as a good leader. He makes a one hand pick, then celebrates when an open receiver gets overthrown like he did something. 
 

Drives me bonkers.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
