Remember all the feel good fluff from the team after we drafted him about Horn staying in the Carolinas? The Panthers need to get back to simply drafting the best football players and leave the feels at the door.

He:

• filled a need
• had no red flags or prior injury history
• was considered by many the best prospect at his position

so please explain your hot take there?

going through all22 now, and I will tell you Donte is not an issue on our D. I havent seen him allow a completion and I am halfway through the 3rd quarter

He just needs to stay on the field.

You don't have to like it but it's the truth. The Panthers have been trying to draft local kids with feel good stories for over 2 and a half decades. 7 winning seasons.

If you're telling me you don't think we ultimately took him over Surtain bc of his local ties as the cherry on top there's nothing for us to discuss. Move along. Thanks.

This is the most ignorant post I've seen in forever. The Panthers are drafting local kids with feel good stories but have never even drafted a Clemson player? Yeah that makes a ton of sense. 

Breaking news - a social media post after a player is drafted has nothing to do with why the player was taken in the first place.

Move along.

Folks who believed this also thought Scott Fitterer was once the smartest guy in the room with his "in on every deal" persona wheeling and dealing his way into yet another 5-6 win season. Meanwhile it's still all Matt Rhule's fault to some peolple.

I remember your past iteration of that username you've got there and getting ridiculed off the board from time to time. If you're going to throw stones don't do it from a glass house.

Rhule wanted Horn because he was obsessed with players who were freak athletes and had the best RAS. Horn had a combine grade RAS of 9.99 and Surtain had a 9.96. That's why we got Horn.

That's an interesting take. I had no idea that your hamstring was located in your ankle.

Yep

he is a great athlete but he has too many non contact injuries 

…artificial turf added to it 

old saw ‘next ability. Is availability’

I remember the RAS shenanigans. I still think if Horn played for a school outside the Carolinas then Surtain would be a Panther rn. Just my gut feeling.

If the Panthers cared that much about drafting local players, they would have drafted Sam Howell
