You right, just reading several articles and didn't hear any negitive about any one.  Guess he subscribes to the theory that folks would would rather be patted on the back.  Its a long season and I for 1 can't wait!!!  Go Panthers!!!

I think Horn probably makes the team 

But he compared him to a player who was cut last year.

"I think about Deven Thompkins—who I love, who was here last year. They just bring out the best in everybody because you know, when they're out there, they're going 100 miles per hour, full speed and they're looking to take the top off. So, I love that style about Jimmy. And what he's shown us—whether it's in drills or in the team periods, he's just all gas."

Thompkins finished the season on the active roster after being waived due to injury in camp and making his way back. He's comparing their effort not their futures.

Recent draft picks tend to be safe unless they are clearly beat out.  They will keep 6 WR with Moore and Renfroe battling for the last spot.

yeah, the comp was a little bit of an interesting one.  I mean, you can love someone's energy and speed.  Horn could also run horrible routes and need a year to the side the get at the NFL level. 

He also coming out of that really quirky Colorado O that was overly pass heavy O that was super spread out.   Horn going to have to get used to blocking, hands on him, and all sorts of stuff.  He was a 6th rounder for a reason.

Where’s that poster that was a Colorado bandwagon fan at? Haven’t seen him post in awhile 

Think he is on an extended vacation if memory serves.  Or at least his old user name is.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
