You got to be able to a score with those teams too though. We had Bradberry. And he held it down vs those guys as good as anyone could. I think the focus should be on the QB and the lines. Not the DBs and WRs.

Where someone is picked and who is available at the time....has a lot to do with how I critique the selection. our roster is Sam Darnold, Grier and PJ...and we passed up Fields for Horn. They are going to be rightfully blasted on how they handled that pick....until they prove their call was right.

Fields being there really adds a lot to my POV on this. So does how they have handled the QB spot in general since Tepper/Rhule aligned. Not a fan of how they are going about things of late there. My beef with Horn at 8 has to do with a lot more than Horn in a vacuum.

How much Gamecock football have you watched of late? Gamecocks fans have been blowing up my phone that aren’t Panther fans...laughing at Horn at 8. Not liking him at 8 isn’t outlandish.

I’ve loved every Gamecock we have acquired in the past. And defended many of them vs the huddle mob. I’m a Panther fan. I don’t give a poo where players come from. I hate Ohio St. I lobbied for Fields. . I watch a poo ton of Gameock football. I married one. My family packs into Willy B on Saturdays. I even catch some when the games are suppose to be decent because I just like football. Not liking Horn at 8 given the options...has little to do with his uniform in college. I can tell you Gamecocks right now that aren’t even talked about....that are going to be good players coming up shortly. Pending they stay.

Maybe. But we ain’t got the bodies to run a lot of press man right now. my reaction to the pick is what we are now.

He wasn’t great in 2019. So we can agree there? so that brings us to 2020. Gamecocks allowed 40 points per game. 40. A lot of his individual numbers were simply aided by the Gamecocks being so bad....teams just didn’t bother with him. Not out of fear as much as the Gamecocks couldn’t stop anything. So why even bother with the best of a horrible bunch. And he still showed a lot of same inconsistencies in 2020 when he did show up. Ramsey isn’t the niche DB Horn is. Horn is great at that niche. I give him that. And he has great physical skill set. I give him that too. I also like how he goes up to contest balls. I give him that. But he wasn’t a great DB IMO. In zone? Off man? He wasn’t great. We play far more zone than man. Which is why I don’t like the pick at 8. Given the options.

Lot of that is cherry picked and meaningless. For example, Alabama absolutely torched Horn. Overall, he really struggled to live with Smith’s release and route running, and Smith got him for a couple of big catches and could have easily had more. In total, Horn allowed five catches for 113 yards and a touchdown into his coverage, good for a passer rating of 145.8. This is as tough as competition gets, but it wasn’t pretty.

they did exactly what I thought they would do. but I honestly answered your question. Why are some not convinced? Because wasn’t a great college DB. He is a great athlete that can get physical in man coverage. That’s Horn. and I’ll bitch about them taking him at 8 for the week and then be done with it.

because he wasn’t great in college

Well, you generally expect a top 10 player to be a dominant college player. Horn wasn’t. not just be a good athlete who you think you can groom into a great football player.

I mean Sam already busted.

You could draft a DB in the 3rd round and just tell them to grab Mike Evans at the line. Horn gonna get beat downfield too much. Heck, even in his one singular college game where he managed to get his hands on the ball....he got beat badly deep.

Bears at least put together some decent teams around a QB. They made it to the postseason with trash QBs. it’s a better day 1 spot than jags, jets

Horrible. Horn wasn’t a great college DB. That’s what we get for getting a Seattle GM. Someone thinking he can recreate the Legion of Boom by picking guys who measure up good....off a football field. Marty Hurney was NEVER this stupid. Not in the first round.

Fields or Sewell. Nothing else. Please football gods!

Bengals gotta take Sewell here I think

They could draft Etienne at 8 and I will still watch in the end. But I will semi rage to the 2 DBs at 8 just cause I don’t like them at 8.

because we all know Urban is going to find a way screw Jacksonville. Then have to take a leave of absence. You got Trevor. You don't need to get college cutesy with The Golden Calf of Bristol.

I personally think if Skip Bayless never happened to The Golden Calf of Bristol.....it would have been better for Tim's career and he would have transitioned.

Joe Brady would basically be Rodgers assistant lol.

yep. I could see Ron being able to do what Fox did with Peyton. Think it helps if Rodgers were to go somewhere with a defensive head coach. Easier for them to bow out. an elite QB would like that WFT D too.
