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?

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.

the wild thing is is that so many draft boards had PS2 over Horn leading up to the draft

but yeah the panthers FO 'knows better'

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.

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.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      Wow that’s actually really cool chatgpt can do that Although, as we know Arizona sat in soft zone the entire second half. So there was a lot of dinking and dunking, but that’s the right thing to do in that situation.  Week 1 pass chart doesn’t look bad. He pushes the ball downfield more than several other quarterbacks I’ve watched. For some reason the huddle thinks other quarterbacks are constantly throwing 60 yard bombs. That is absolutely not the case. Some quarterbacks aren’t taking any deep shots at all.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.
