Its the stereotype, loud mouthed know it alls usually suck down gas station hot dogs and coke while they post their GM rants on their phones as they walk out of their cubicles for lunch break while their supervisor explains to them the system may be up on saturday and they may need to come in.

Anyone who would eat a gas station hot dog has something wrong with them, or they have a parasite.

Everybody who is a Panther fan or a fan of Horn hopes he can stay healthy. I suspect the staff is doing everything they can to keep him on the field. Let's hope he does what he can to get his body ready for the long grind. He is too good to have his career diminished with injuries.

What exactly is a "freak" injury? Did a satellite fall out of space and hit him on the head? No. He broke a wrist and and a foot and has been available for less than half the games. Right now he is injury prone until he proves otherwise. Surtain would have been a much better pick. 

Freak injury is a random one that is not indicative of a long term problem. It’s one that does not portend further injuries.

he should play.   as much as any other starter.  we got a new scheme.  Horn hasn't even logged a season yet in the NFL.   We need to be good defensively this year. 

I don't want to go w/ a Mr. Glass mindset.  Also sets a bad tone I think w/ other legit starters.   Horn more precious than Burns or Brown?  

I think most established guys shouldn’t play much. I feel like this focus on stubborn principles vs actual pragmatic decision making is what separates these old school drones like Wilks/Fox/Rivera from coaches who aren’t afraid to actually to think for themselves. 
 

You will have different rules for different players. Horn is the only legit CB we have and has bad luck for getting injured so don’t play him.

9 out of 10 Panthers fans want Jaycee to ball out even if they are skeptical. Only a few trolls have an opposing viewpoint so the rabble rousing about armchair GM's is a waste of keystrokes.

The guys in here who don’t like non optimistic complaining, spend most of their posts complaining about complaining. It’s kind of funny to watch.

Yeah, for the most part. But...that's verbatim what we all said about Dan Morgan too, since he didn't have an injury history at Miami. It's just how the cookie crumbles.

How do you know? He has been injured each of his first two years and already has some mystery injury this year.  Like I said, he's been available less than half the time he's been with the Panthers.  How can people say he is better than the cbs that actually suit up and play for their team. His potential is not going to win games.

Wasn’t Morgan’s problem concussions? That’s absolutely a chronic problem and one that becomes easier to happen every time it happens

How do I know? Because science. And I pay attention and don’t make broad generalizations on limited information.  Certain kinds of injuries heal up and are at no more risk of reinjury than before. Some injuries leave the body at high risk of reinjury. That’s how the body works… he’s not out there getting concussions or tearing acls.

Duration should have been the pick. The only reason he wasn’t is because guys were enamored with the idea that he had a low ceiling and was already maxed out compared to horn.

He’s been very good when he’s been available, but part of maximizing your ceiling required you being healthy and able to develop.

let’s hope this season he shows he can stay healthy and perform. Gonna suck when he has that inevitable great contract season and we’re stuck in a tight spot

[pantherclaw]

I have seen nothing of his injuries that lead me to think he's fragile. He plays tough and physical.  The NFL is a brutal game. 

I hope he remains healthy,  as he's one of my favorites to watch. The dude is very good at what he does.
