Should the Panthers trade Jaycee Horn?

Absolutely not. Has his availability been disappointing? Sure. But when he plays he’s been great, one of the best in the league. He could never have another injury and be one of the greatest of all time and we would have let that go for a 5th or some nonsense. Thomas Davis was always injured for three years. CMC was traded for low value because of injuries and now the 49ers are in the Super Bowl with CMC in the MVP discussion. You don’t sell low. If we could get a first for Horn, sure. But we can’t.

Teams will offer low ball prices, so no. For a 1st round pick, I'm listening.

I'd deal him for a 2nd.  We are rebuilding franchise that can't pay him.  But outside of that, I'd just keep him and then let him walk pending he wouldn't sign some crazy incentive deal.

Not for less than a 1st rounder. I know he's been injured a lot but he's shown to be a top corner when healthy. I'd hate to see him pull a CMC, get traded and suddenly be healthy every game.

Now, a contract extension is a different story. He'll have to prove he can stay healthy for that. But to give him away for some mid-round pick? Nah.

Absolutely not. CMC is a perfect example of why you don’t trade him away. We already have an insane amount of impact players. You have two more years of cheaper money to pay him, so you let him play it out and see if he can change his bad luck with injuries. Thomas Davis is a good example of working with someone. He may not stay healthy, and you make that decision after year 5 but no way we should trade him for peanuts and make an already weak team worse. He impacts the game when he’s playing.

CMC isn't similar.  CMC would have been a resource to aid and help develop a MASSIVE investment in Bryce Young.   That's why trading him was wrong for so little in the end. 

Thomas Davis didn't start his career in Carolina injured every other game.

change the turf to grass and keep him.  He has not earned a fat, healthy second contract, so it is reasonable to expect to keep him for a fair price for the next 5 years or so.  I am very suspect of this playing surface (look at the injuries--4 guards (BC, McRay, Zavala, Corbett), Shaq, Horn, Anderson (remember him?  I don't), Ricci, Hurst, Wooten, Shenault--not sure how many were directly related to the turf, but it contributed to the IR issues.

Our defense played well with our starting Captain LB and #1 draft pick Horn out for most of the season. 

Our offense was missing (for a large part of the season) 2 starting guards and our former first round selection TE.  Lotta problems we had were based on the subpar performance in those 3 areas.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
