He head a great year, but he turns 30 next year.  He also played in a mostly zone scheme on the opposite side of the field from Horn.  I remember Evero mentioning he doesn't use Horn in man as much because he needs him to cover a large portion of the field while the others handle the rest.  As long as we have this much money tied up in Horn, I don't think you can spend too much on the other CB.  Hell I like what I saw from Thornton in his limited snaps.  

Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk.

In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

who was the poster on here screaming that we are one of the youngest teams in the nfl when in reality we are ranked like 15th at 26 years old?

 

Not sure. But, take long snapper and backup QB off and maybe Moore out of the WRs and we are probably a half year younger. Plus if it is an older data group Thielen might even be in it. 
 

I think it is almost quicker to pick out the over 30, 31, players than the real young ones. A bunch of young starters. Not to argue, I started out just to joke about how old our long snapper was. Then I started considering it.

PFF is so weird.  Horn being ranked 69th in their magical rating system is funny.  Allowing 289 yards all season is preposterous.  He's a monster.

He's talented and a good locker room presence but in no way is he a top 3 corner like he is being paid.

The thing is he won't be paid like a top 3 corner in another year.  That's the whole point of locking those contracts in early.  Also, I think he's very much in the conversation among the best in the game regardless of what he's paid.  Chris Olave has his number for whatever reason.  The best corners in the game almost always run into someone who's got them figured out.  He pretty much dominated everyone else all season.  When you factor in the nonexistent pass rush it only further cements his status as one of the best.

I mean we're splitting hairs there. Based on annual salary he is currently the third highest paid in the NFL.

He's gotta step his game up and continue to step into the role. I certainly hope he does and he's largely an easy player to root for. I can appreciate speaking up for "our guys" but getting swept by the rebuilding Saints with the division and playoffs on the line and just waving that off sounds like a loser mentality but that's just my opinion.

The sweep had a whole lot to do with a QB who couldn't eclipse 200 yards passing to save his life. I would argue that's the primary culprit.  Plenty of blame to go around.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
