I was only saying that if you take everything else away from T-Mac, that just his catch radius alone gives him the higher floor and ceiling. Add in everything else and it's clear cut to anyone with working eyes.

Reason I'm interested in practice is if the Panthers are smart, in TC they have horn follow him around the field and press man him every down. It's going to be one of the best presses he will see all year and should help him a ton.

Horn and T-Mac will get matched up a lot, but it won't be 100% of the time, nor should it be anything close to that.

Yes, it would benefit T-Mac's ability to get better at beating the press, but it would also be a detriment both of them for them to be matched up too much more than 50% of their reps.

Neither is likely to end up going up against similar players in games, not many teams have WRs the size of T-Mac and not many teams have CB's with the physicality of Horn. Horn needs to work on covering smaller shiftier WRs as well, just as T-Mac needs plenty of reps against smaller CBs so he can work on using his frame to body them out of position.
