Jaycee Horns post game Comments

I didn't watch or listen to any of the post yesterday, was too disgusted, but I saw this today and I noticed something.
 

I noticed 2 things.  First, Just something that personally bothers me is Im so fugging tired of hearing people in our Locker room say "we had a good week of practice"...

Seriously, We hear it from Jaycee, Bryce, DB and Chuba, and while I love em and love their effort, They have NEVER been part of a winning team in the NFL.  None of them know what a REAL good week of practice looks like.  Sure you can have some weeks where things go wrong and even a good week of practice helps, but when its EVERY week, then well...maybe something isnt being done during the week.

The second thing I noticed was an omission in his statement.

"We gotta be ready, following me too, DB, Chuba...team leaders."

Someone was missing in that list.  Ya know TEAM LEADERS.  Lets see, Captains for the year are DB, JJ Jansen and theres some other guy...I dunno WHO it could be....

Honestly though, when your QB, your THIRD YEAR QB, and THIRD TIME team captain QB is NOT a team leader...holy poo youve got massive problems.

A lot of our problems (other than Bryce) is that nobody on our team has really won at a consistent level before. Like, name one other than Sam Martin that was a consistent starter for a winning team. 
 

Bobby Brown (maybe) but he doesn’t even start for us, Robert Hunt? Like one year with Miami when they were decent. Turk Wharton?

This is a young team that hasn't won anything. That is a hurdle in itself.

But beyond that you need guys who can rally around each other. You need competitors who feed off one another. Where is that here?

It's plainly obvious this team has no real leader. You can't expect the guys on the defense or your running back to carry the torch. They are complimentary leaders. You still need that guy who is leading you into battle so to speak. The spark. All we have is someone who can apparently wow some middle aged squares at dinner but where is the generational Payton Manningesque field general leadership we were sold on our #1 pick by so many LOUD voices before the draft?

This is a tough one to digest.  I do think they probably locked in for practice this week, feeling themselves a bit and sensing an opportunity to build on the Atlanta game.  Then boom, punched straight in the mouth and reminded forcefully of your place on the totem pole.

Carolina has no identity, no attitude and certainly no resilience.  This all starts at the most important position in pro sports, the Quarterback.  Week after week, sound bite after sound bite, this will be the tale until BY9 is gone.

I’d say the majority of our players are content just coming to work, get paid, go home, and football is the least of their worries. They don’t have any aspirations to change the culture, to win, to revive a struggling team. 
Our guys aren’t hungry, or they’re hungry for the wrong things. If football is a team sport then every man has only been for himself since Tepper took over.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
