This year is irrelevant to Horn. 

I will say I think his mentality is weak.  He had a hamstring injury in week 1.  It's week 10.  Aaron Rodgers blew out his achilles.  Required surgery.  He returned to practice this week.  Think what you will about Rodgers, his mentality is not weak.  Also, Rodgers is 40 years old.  From the outside looking in, JC looks like a guy who just doesn't want to be here.

Right now, Horn is three years into a career and has played the equivalent of one.  I could be wrong, he could never be injured again and have an All Pro or even Hall of Fame career ahead.  History doesn't stand on his side right now.

Of course he doesn't want to be here. This is CMC all over again. Nagging injury keeps him out longer than expected, team is worse than expected, he just doesn't return. I told everyone not to be shocked if CMC suddenly got more durable if he gets out of here and goes to a contender. Now look at him in SF.

Guys don't want to be here. We're a dumpster fire. Would you honestly want to be here if you were a player? It's a paycheck while they're biding their time to get the hell out. Sons of former players tend to be a lot smarter about the business side of the game. Yeah, you might get praise for roughing it out through injuries on bad teams, but no one's going to be there for you of the injuries lessen your performance. You'll just get tossed to the side and the team and league will move on. You gotta look out for yourself. If there's something to play for, that's one thing. But it's an entirely different situation when you're playing on one of the worst teams in the league. That might not be what folks want to hear but that's reality.

Like I don’t blame him for making a business decision with our franchise floundering, but to fix the team culture, you need guys who actively aren’t making that business decision, but instead show toughness and team first behavior. 
 

It’s a pickle. 
 

And I’m assuming so perhaps he really is still hurt. I hope he’s sincere but you can never tell.

Got his Daddy in his ear telling him to milk it.    All he has to do is say it still feels tight, and he is inactive.  Should be a clause in all contracts to cut their pay in half, if they can't get on the field during a season.  He is screwing his team over at this point.  Trade his lazy lying @ss and move on.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By cranky · Posted

      The best part is they compliment each other. Chuba is a more patient runner, patiently waiting for gaps to form while Rico is more explosive. I wish they would use Rico more like McCaffery was used - getting him the ball in space to take advantage of his explosivness and violence. Then have Chuba pound the middle for the tough yards.

      I loved those late 90s-early 2000s Miami teams.  If McGahee hadn’t had that injury, he would probably have been a Top 10 all-time rusher, no doubt in my mind.  The fact he didn’t lose his leg below the knee is still a miracle.  And the fact he came back from that, made it in the NFL, and still carved out a career that included over 8k yards rushing and two pro bowls is damn impressive.  It just demonstrates how good he would have been had he never had the injury.  Prior to that, he was like nothing I had ever seen.  Like a bigger, more physical and elusive Reggie Bush.

      Boozer may end up going higher in the draft, but agree about Caleb Wilson. Give me that dude, think he's going to translate very well and has the attitude I want on a young team.  My perfect world as of now... Trade anything not bolted down as far as vet's go. Sexton is on an expiring and would be an easy flip. Bridges, just get him somewhere else. One year left on a low $20 mil deal should be an easy trade...but the apron for many teams could haunt us.  LaMelo is the issue. Likely would have to trade our problem to someone else for their problem (Ja, Zion, Zach Lavine) to make contracts somewhat match up.  I want to build around last year's draft class, get as many bites at this draft class as possible, etc. If we get lucky and get #1 or #2, wonderful. If not, get into the top 5 or so and grab Caleb Wilson.
