Horton (6-foot-5, 265) signed with Carolina as an undrafted rookie out of the University of Southern California last season. He had two sacks and eight tackles in 2013. 

He wears 96. He has a tightly trimmed chinstrap beard. His dad, Mike Horton, was Gemini on "American Gladiators." Wes had two sacks last season, both against Tampa Bay.

Hah! Who knew?  If posted already I'll delete but that's pretty cool.

We had four girls sitting behind us that apparently were friends, family, or girlfriends of Wes Horton. Every time he got on the field, or came close to making a play they were going bonkers.

 

You were sitting close to where I was, they were about 10 feet away from me.  A woman a few seats away got their story.  One of the girls was Horton's girlfriend, two were his sisters and the last was a friend.  Apparently the Panthers have a program for wives and girlfriends of players where they help move them out to Charlotte and help them find a job here so they can be with their significant other.  The girlfriend has been here a couple of months thanks to the Panthers and the rest of the girls drove from Los Angeles over four days to make it to the game.

There's almost always friends/family of players sitting there. Sean May was there a few years ago, showed up at the start of the second quarter and left midway through the third!

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
