Does it really matter at this point?

 

This is not a playoff team even with a healthy Horn.

 

Horn at this point can't be counted on to play a full season. It is what it is.

It sorta does. Frankly he has shown us he can't stay healthy when on field. It will just happen again next year when expectations are higher and patience running even more thin.

I thought we picked Horn over Surtain because he was a local hero. Fields sucks, but we are about to gift them a really good first round draft pick.  

I always thought we picked Horn because Fitt was our GM and he was the most similar to the LOB DBs.   Which was the foundation of the success of the franchise he came from.

I wonder if there's any starting-worthy corner out there available for trade?  Otherwise, Henderson is about to single-handedly lose games during this period.  I still would've rather us have kept Taylor over Henderson.

We really should've taken Surtain.  Hell, even Fields at this point.

PS2, Slater, Devonta, Parsons, Darrisaw…it’s crazy how many hits were around what seems like a dud when we had every defensive player in the entire draft at our disposal to pick from. SMH

People need to stop calling Horn a dud

When on the field, he's played like a Top 10 corner

Nobody can predict injuries in the NFL unless they already struggled to stay healthy in college, something that wasn't an issue with Horn.

I get being upset that so many others in that range are turning into stars, but this is just a bad luck situation much more than just a bad pick.  If he sucked when on the field, then yes, it would have been just a bad pick, but that's not the case here.

It’s a word I deem appropriate when there’s this much time missed. His fault or not, he’s in the 3rd year of his 4 year rookie contract. Does not look promising we’ll pick up his option. Sucks for the guy, but it’s the reality.

Availability trumps all.    Horn is worthless unless he is on the field.  He has missed more games than he has played going on 3 years.  He barely played Sunday.

Overall, to date, it has been a wasted 8th overall pick.

Yes, I agree, always liked the phrase of "the best ability is availability"

But too many people are trying to blame Fitterer for taking Horn over those other guys who are all blowing up.  I'm not saying Fitterer hasn't done a bunch of things that deserve questioning and criticism, but this pick isn't one of them.

There are tons of first round picks that stay healthy and are still busts, those are the ones where it's fair to be upset at your GM for taking them over other better players.  But not for someone who has performed at an elite level when on the field but just keeps getting hurt, those are just unfortunate picks that didn't work out for the team, but not a bad pick.

Bottom line, if Horn has stayed healthy, people might have wished we took Surtain, Parsons, or Smith over him, but I don't think people would be upset with Horn the player, and that's a key difference to me.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
