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.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
