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.

    • Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.
    • That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.
    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
