Horns 5th year option

Nope.  No thank you.  I ain't investing money into someone that makes Jeff Otah seem reliable.  That's just a reality.  Jaycee Horn is only a dawg in Pantherland.   No one else talks about him for good reason.  He doesn't play.  3 years in and he frankly has yet to even show his stuff vs a legit good QB/WR tandem because he never is on the field for it. 

I'm focused on Brown and Luvu if I am the Panthers.  Building up a functional offense.

Hard call to make. Let him play and pay a big contract or sit injured and pay a lesser. Not a call I'd like to make. Feels like the wrong one no matter which you choose. 

I think you bite the bullet and option the 5th year instead of potentially creating another huge hole to fill.  Do it and pray.  Say he balls out next year and plays 14ish games, then we are pretty screwed.  Its not that much money to play on the option

creating a huge hole?  we would largely just be dealing w/ the same hole that has existed most of his 3 seasons.

I didn't realize it was so low, only $11M makes it more of a decision. Was thinking no chance we'd pick it up but that was assuming it would be like $20M+ cap hit. I think we will and should pick it up honestly. We could trade him in a year too.

    • I don't know, I don't see who's stock could realistically rise this draft.  These guys just aren't that good of prospects and the tape ain't great either.    Milroe is a bit more like a Kellen Mond for me.  Not as physically imposing as AR.  Has the dual ability, athletic traits, arm, but really no feel as a QB (okay, some similarities lol).  All the essentials like pocket awareness, anticipation throws, seeing the layers of live play, it's just not what you want as a QB.  Zone-read skills, but no consistency and hasn't really shown he can be that field general.  Lower than expected adjusted percentages, SUPER low pressure grades.  Just a toolsy-QB IMO. Nix was way more consistent his final year than Ewers and is way more accurate with his deep balls.  In addition, Ewers does not have the agility Nix has.  Think they're quite different.  Something just hasn't clicked yet with QE.  He never found his go-to "guy" in school, really had a problem finding and staying in rhythm.  And for having so much talent around him, he just never produced what you think he should have.  Nix on the other hand was able to go bonkers with Tez, Bucky & Franklin at Oregon, also just had excellent mechanics and good velocity that could trick you to thinking his arm's more powerful than it is.   Kyle McCord could be a guy to watch.  But at highest, he could rise to R2.   I just see Ward & Sanders at the top, but I'm unsure I'd even classify them as 1sts.  Many speculated (Brugler, Sando, others) before decisions were made last year that Ward was viewed as a 4th rounder at best developmental...and that was after 2 really positive seasons at WSU.  This may not be common sentiment, but I wouldn't take Ward or Sanders over Penix or Nix.         
    • This has absolutely nothing to do with our defensive struggles. At any given time, even a great team that is good at drafting has probably 5-7 of their own first round draft picks still on the roster.  You need a lot more than good first round picks to build a good offense or defense, let alone a full team.
