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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
