OK, never really introduced myself but I am always on the forums (Carolina Panthers) several times a day and have been for the last few years. I rarely post anything but enjoy reading what everyone has on their mind during the good and bad times. Year to year I am always optimistic the Panthers will beat everyone and will make the playoffs until they are mathmatically eliminated.

On a side note I would like to share a video I put together for my son Fletcher. I wanted to post this but thought by introducing myself I could post here without being hounded by the Forum Police because I did not post in the right section.

Fletcher tore his ACL in a freak accident during football practice on Sept. 15, 2011. He was only 8 yrs old at the time. We found Dr. Kocher at Children's Hospital Boston who specializes in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Sports Medicine. We flew to Boston for surgery on Dec. 13, 2011. Fletcher endured several months of intensive physical therapy and was released to play sports again in June 2012. After a summer league of basketball and new baby sister being born, he was ready once again to strap on his helmet.

Hope you enjoy the video. There are several pictures at the beginning to set up the story. It was great watching him getter stronger at practice each week. By season end he was the work horse running back and had no fear pounding it up the middle.

Good to hear your son has bounced back, the ironic that while he was recovering, he was wearing a Adrian Peterson jersey, and now AP is looking like the AP before the injury and your son is also back on the field making plays.

      Ekwonu contract

      See my post edit above, he certainly hasn’t had that lockdown/on an island type of effect. Josh Norman has that type of effect for a couple years with us and I’ll be honest that I haven’t felt like that for Horn yet. Looking at his 2024 stats (https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jaycee-horn/83375#seasonStatsWidget) doesn’t scream top QB. I think he’s good but I cringe a little when I hear he’s elite when healthy since his most healthy year was when we set a record for points against.

      Our defense hasn't been elite. That doesn't mean that an individual player hasn't been. All an elite CB can do for your defense is greatly limit the other team's best receiver or greatly limit the passing success to his side of the field if he's a zone guy. There's still a lot of opportunity for the opposing team elsewhere.  I'm not saying he's a Luke or a Peppers. He's not. But I think he's a top 10 CB when healthy. I consider a top 10 CB to be elite. If you have a different definition, that's fine. I'm not gonna really argue where we draw that line or even if you think Horn is saying top 15 instead of top 10. Again, fine. Not really gonna argue that either. All I'm really trying to argue is that Horn is pretty damn good when he's on the field.

      I'm not saying there's not a place for him here. I'm saying we massively overpaid for his skill set in today's NFL. Both statements can absolutely be true.
