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.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      By rayzor · Posted

      Especially glad there's no Thursday games. I hate them. They're dangerous. They really fug up a routine and unless you're team is coming off a bye, they play the game with little rest or prep.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By rayzor · Posted

      Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do. But looking at that later schedule and it's not horrible. We've got the eagles and chiefs....that's scary, but then we've got the cardinals and cowboys at home...and it's the cowboys in December. When have they been scary in December? And we've got division games in there as well. I think we'll do ok. The more I look at it, the better I feel about it.
