I want him to return back good as new too, but we all know that all he's going to do is get hurt again. If ever there was a player that you can say "when, not if," it's D-Jac. That's unfortunate. And, to be honest, I'm beginning to wonder if Horn is going to follow in his footsteps. *Sigh*

Achilles is a rough one. Lots are just not the same. And yes we missed him. Pretty much knew we were going to have a very leaky vessel back there on defense. And we were going to need to get pressure to protect them. 
Fail. 
Hope DJ gets his full recovery and back to competing.

With Horn, when guy misses almost his entire first season it puts him behind t(e eight ball pretty bad for a while in terms of statistics like that. 

 A broken bone in the hand happens, it isn’t isnt major in itself. The question of is he injury prone vs black cat prone should stay open a little while longer.

Jackson reminds me of Captain Munnerlyn. That guy played his heart out every game even though he was physically limited. The coaches have to protect guys like that from themselves, as they'll play until they drop and get injured.  That kind of player rally's others and are essential, as long as you don't over pay them and manage them properly.   Like you said PANTHERS!

I wouldnt call DJax physically limited though lol. He literally has world class speed and is 5’10 which is about average for a corner. Munnerlyn was a midget

Unfortunately, there is a good amount of data between the two. 36 games missed by both of them over their past combined 6 years (4 Donte/2 Horn). It’s not a small sample in terms of NFL careers and that’s 6 games per year. In 2021 and 2022 they missed the stretch run at the end of both years. If a player isn’t available or is hobbled at the key times/playoffs, that’s a big problem.

Meanwhile Taylor Moton never misses a game.

Between Jackson's contract and a top ten pick for Horn we've got an awful lot of resources tied up in the secondary. When the guy we got from the Jags for a third round pick is the lone man standing to finish the season that says it all. Maybe it's just bad luck. Or... maybe it's a sign of things to come.

I think its a sign they will be drafting a DB at some point next draft.

If we take a corner earlier than the third round then oof. I want OL QB TE I'm tired of an offense that hangs their hat on scoring a measly 21 points.

All of that will depend on the next coach and GM. I can't even get excited about the draft until the coach is hired.  I'm not sure I would assume this team will remain as constructed with just a few draft picks thrown in next season. The coaching hire should clue you in on the direction they intend to go.

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      By Waldo · Posted

      Johnson is very smart IMO. He will get paid either way but avoiding a terrible spot can save your career too. He looks to be working the system and good for him. I always thought hiring interviews go both ways and have been disappointed watching people not realize this. He handled DC roughly but it was also funny because he did see them as what they are which is a new ownership group, even with Petters, he would be likely be destined for failure there while they figure out the normal learning curve of the NFL.  It's not lying it's just 'your great but I can't say what your not because that is taboo'. Sometimes lies are expected if the truth isn't what they want.  I agree generally. Ron was doing great work as a DC where he put in 6 years as DC at 2 teams vs Canales 1 year as OC before becoming a HC. Ron is such a known quantity by now, he earned his 2nd shot as a HC and it went as expected given his proclivities. Offense is just safer in this NFL vs Defense so any one that can score will get a look. Ryans is a beast but how do you think he fairs without Slowick? Which HCs were in the SB? Offensive guys. It's a thing and makes laughing about TB, Atlanta and NO all having beatable defensive coaches the Panthers still can't beat LOL. It's a dump. If your building a career the Panthers are a long shot. If you are taking a shot, getting paid and/or ready to grow from this failure then this is a great option. I think the jobs are extremely valuable on many levels but there is always a turd in the punchbowl with Tepper. Hurney, Rhule, Friterer, now Caldwell and maybe Morgan. Tepper always leaves some dookie around to contaminate the next batch...they literally help him fug up the next time. It's Tepper's MO, spend lots of money and lean on past failures into new failures. There has not been a truly fresh start under Tepper yet which explains why he keeps failing.

      What Carolina Panthers can learn from Justin Jefferson contract

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I would talk poo about their qb room but I'd rather have Darnold and JJ competing for our QB spot than giving BY free reign with no pressure
