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.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
