This year is irrelevant to Horn. 

I will say I think his mentality is weak.  He had a hamstring injury in week 1.  It's week 10.  Aaron Rodgers blew out his achilles.  Required surgery.  He returned to practice this week.  Think what you will about Rodgers, his mentality is not weak.  Also, Rodgers is 40 years old.  From the outside looking in, JC looks like a guy who just doesn't want to be here.

Right now, Horn is three years into a career and has played the equivalent of one.  I could be wrong, he could never be injured again and have an All Pro or even Hall of Fame career ahead.  History doesn't stand on his side right now.

Of course he doesn't want to be here. This is CMC all over again. Nagging injury keeps him out longer than expected, team is worse than expected, he just doesn't return. I told everyone not to be shocked if CMC suddenly got more durable if he gets out of here and goes to a contender. Now look at him in SF.

Guys don't want to be here. We're a dumpster fire. Would you honestly want to be here if you were a player? It's a paycheck while they're biding their time to get the hell out. Sons of former players tend to be a lot smarter about the business side of the game. Yeah, you might get praise for roughing it out through injuries on bad teams, but no one's going to be there for you of the injuries lessen your performance. You'll just get tossed to the side and the team and league will move on. You gotta look out for yourself. If there's something to play for, that's one thing. But it's an entirely different situation when you're playing on one of the worst teams in the league. That might not be what folks want to hear but that's reality.

Like I don’t blame him for making a business decision with our franchise floundering, but to fix the team culture, you need guys who actively aren’t making that business decision, but instead show toughness and team first behavior. 
 

It’s a pickle. 
 

And I’m assuming so perhaps he really is still hurt. I hope he’s sincere but you can never tell.

Got his Daddy in his ear telling him to milk it.    All he has to do is say it still feels tight, and he is inactive.  Should be a clause in all contracts to cut their pay in half, if they can't get on the field during a season.  He is screwing his team over at this point.  Trade his lazy lying @ss and move on.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
