giving up the opportunity to make 40 mil more just a year later would have been a terrible decision.  even if he got hurt again last year he could have easily gotten 15 on the open market.   and his dad is Joe Horn, he's not broke.

If he had gotten hurt for the year last season, dude is playing on the club option 5th year or getting offered a cheap multi-year contract. If he gets hurt the club option year, he will be getting closer to vet minimum since he proved he couldn't stay healthy 4 consecutive seasons.

Just saying that it wasn't crazy to offer him last offseason and see how close they could get on numbers. Now we paid a dude that has maybe played in 50% of our games a $100 million contract....

 

The dude isn't getting 15 million open market on 3 consecutive injury-riddled seasons. And just because his dad has money doesn't mean he has money...

hes gonna pay on the club 5th year option anyways.  The extension starts in 2026.  a CB with his potential would def get more than vet min.  laughable.

and whos to say they didnt offer him last year?  just means hes not dumb enough to accept it if they did.

You think an NFL team would give him a 4 year, $60 million contract if Horn played less than half of the team's games in 4 consecutive seasons due to injury? I don't think a team would even offer him a 1 year, $15 million contract unless very little of it was guaranteed and/or it was filled with injury clauses

Someone would have leaked it if they were working on a contract last year. Not a peep from anyone tells me that they didn't, and I get it. Panthers didn't want to give out a new contract if he got hurt last year and Horn was banking on staying healthy last year so he could get Surtain level money.

I think both sides just played a shut up and wait and see approach. It worked out for Horn

u think, you dont know.  no one knows except them.  and whatever... your assertion they could have had for for less a year ago is a remarkably unserious take that assumes he would have accepted if they offered.  its a ridiculous assumption.

Just like you think and don't know...

Anyways, this is a pretty pointless back and forth. Hopefully Horn stays healthy so we don't have to regret this contract

This was not a smart move, IMO.

If you pay a guy like a top 10 at his position, he actually needs to be in the discussion for being that.

Once again, not being smart.

Isn’t he universally considered a top 5 corner?

Absolutely not. 

I have never seen him mentioned even in the top 10 at CB. 

He's very good but he has not played like an elite CB often, even when healthy. Also, he is technically coming off arguably his worst season statistically in his career. Nothing terrible but just far from elite.

Hence why I am bristling at the money. He really has to both stay healthy and very much improve his play.

It's not all his fault. The defense is ass and he isn't really playing in a scheme that takes advantage of him correctly, IMO.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
