Is Jaycee Horn pulling a "business decision McCaffrey" on us?!?

He has enough tape out there to show he can be a lockdown but MAYBE he just doesn't want to play here?

He has been awfully slow to recover from his injuries at such a young age

I am starting to wonder if he's taking his sweet ole time to nurse those injuries, we don't pick up that 5th year option and he goes on to be a Saints legend lockdown CB

No

CMC had years of never missing games and playing at a HOF level while doing so.

Horn hasn’t shown near enough on the field or enough health to slow walk a recovery to try and force a trade. 

Also, I never felt CMC did that, I thought at the end of both seasons is was more likely the team that shut him down, why risk further injury and hurt our draft position for him to play in a couple meaningless late season games.

Probably.

I will always believe CMC made sure to "save himself" when he had injuries the two years prior to being traded.  He was awesome for us and then got that bag.  Once that contract was signed he didn't come back from injuries which he could have....if he had wanted to.  The company line may have been the team shut him down, but CMC had no desire to be part of the dumpster fire Rhule was rolling out there.

Last year he stayed healthy and had some good games for us and when we fell out of contention the decision was made to trade him.  I don't disagree about trading him, but we then gave him his choice of the Rams or the 49ers.  Of course he chose to go play for Shanahan in San Francisco.  It all worked out so well for him and his model fiance - it was exactly what he wanted.

A year later he has been tearing it up and playing hard.  He got hurt last week and was back for the Vikings game.  If he was still a Panther he might have been done for the season.

This is my opinion and I appreciate his effort when he was here and establishing himself, but I will not be pulling for him to win  a Super Bowl etc. because he dogged it until he got what he ultimately wanted.  In hindsight I wish he would have just been honest when it was time to sign his big deal and told the Panthers he didn't want to be in Carolina or the East Coast.  He didn't and we got some draft picks, but we lost a very dynamic player who could have helped us......he just didn't want to - at least under Rhule.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
