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.

      A comparison of QBs drafted #1 overall

      Forgot the table showing the mean, median, and mode for each stat along with Bryce's and where it ranks compared to the other 18 QBs.

      I've tried to make the case before that last season's team was so badly coached and put together that anyone would have struggled and failed out there. As such, there's no real way to accurately gauge what Bryce actually can bring to the table. Look, he wasn't my choice for QB, but you can't look at the play calling, performance of other playmakers, lack of any cohesion or competency on the offensive line or even really any phase of the game and think that it didn't in some way just kill the kid. Stroud, and what a revelation that young man was, went to a team that the prior year had been terrible and had been so for years. But what he fell into was a first class young coach, a massive rebuild (greatly assisted by the monster trade (con job) done for Deshaun Watson), and a hell of an aggressive coaching scheme on both sides of the ball. Stroud hit the AFC South at their weakest point as a division, too. But, really, Bryce did as well. Stroud arrived in a brand new Corvette and Bryce showed up in a '72 Datsun with a flat tire and a clown behind the wheel. And yeah, perhaps the biggest take away we've got from last season that we can hang a hat on here is the kid can take a pounding and get back up.  I hope we do better by him, and better by all of us, this season. Right now, we're looking up at the rest of the league from under the manure pile.

      I can appreciate the effort in order to get through long boring meetings. Hope he bounces back and end up being our guy for the long haul. Would love to stop throwing so many resources after a QB year after year.
