When healthy… Jaycee is HIM!!!

With Horn last season it was a hard blow from a helmet right on his wrist, and it was friendly fire to boot. Horn has a kind of track star build and that's going to be a little dangerous injury wise. Even so, that helmet blow would have snapped a lot of wrists. It was just bad luck. Now the foot break had a Mr. Glass kind of feel to it because nothing notable happened. Dude broke his foot by backpedaling. Wtf?

He is a wonderful player when healthy but I agree with many here that "when healthy" is a frustrating thing to have to say afterwards. I am very hopeful though when I think of Thomas Davis's injury streak and how he came back after those few years and never really had much after that. Crossing my fingers and hoping Horn's major injuries hat cost lost of games are behind him and he remains healthy because he can flat out play when he is available to play. Would love to see how good he could be with a number of years of health.

why do our DBs seem to be injured so much is my question

Part of the reason could be we actually ask them to tackle more than most teams.  Deon was amazing with his ball skills, and despite playing two sports, he was healthy most of his career, but if you go back and watch, he actually shied away from contact and tackling a LOT.

Not even in any bias but I’d honestly take him over any CB in the game. He’s the perfect blend of strong and sticky. Elite ball skills, elite physical tools. We all know the one downfall he has but if that doesn’t happen, I’m not taking any cb over him.

While I think JC is the real deal and loved the pick from the moment it was announced, you don't take JC over Sauce. IMO it's those two are the top two corners in the league, but JC is just slightly below Gardner. 

 

I hate the injury prone label, it was 2 random ones. The wrist was just real bad luck. I don't consider that injury prone.

It's not that Jaycee is overly fragile. Some guys are just unlucky as poo. Think Thomas Davis. His knees just kept taking blows, his ribs kept getting bruised and broken, forearm fracture, etc. How many LBs get those injuries at some point? A ton. Some only one or two of those, others may have 5 injuries varying in severity over a 10 year career. How many have THAT many consecutively their first 5 or so years in the league? Very few. Just bad luck.

Speaking of staying healthy im 33 now and it seems like im tweaking something every time I go to the gym. I remember my parents telling me take care of yourself while you are young because it gets much harder as you get older.

 

Jaycee is young and it feels like he has a older body because he's always banged up.

It doesn’t get any better at 35. I wake up sore just about every day.

    • Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.
    • I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing. 
    • I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
