I have to explain to you what your bogus fantasy football stat is yet I am making up stats?

You don't need to look at stats....you just need to watch Norman play from week 3 until he was benched. Opponents figured out he simply have them freebie yards....and played pitch and catch with him racking up tackles. Too big of a liability so he was benched. The other Josh was flawed but at least tried to make opponents earn it.

Rivera benched him despite having nothing but scrubs behind him. That trumps any stat you are scrambling to find.

I guess you are reading what you want to read, Norman was the best corner we had, maybe he wasn't what Rivera wanted but he was an upgrade over Captain. Is Thomas a better corner? I don't know at this point, but it's strange that Rivera benched him when the season was over and not when we still had a chance to make a run.

So in Rivera's mind, Norman gave the team the best chance to win.

I'm not sure if you're serious.......Norman is the guy who basically lost us the Bears game, hmmm who's side did Cutler kept throwing too? Norman's.

Thomas was actually aggressive and competed for the ball, by your logic Beason was started at the MLB position because he was the best option.....when that wasn't the case at ALL.

I don't care what you think, if you think one game was the reason we didn't make it to the playoffs. I don't know if you are serious. The same thing happened with Captain when he was the #2 but I betcha Norman still wasn't the worst corner in the league even during that game. I showed stats, all you guys keep coming with are opinions, which is like bootyholes, everyone has one. Show me the stats for that game then your arguments will have merit.

I bet you don't even know the circumstances and how about when Cam threw the ball at hartsock feet in the end zone during that game who was wide open which could have clinched the game? That was the turning point in my eyes. However, one dude was the reason why that game was lost. I know you can't be serious.

Edit*****
And still Thomas didn't get the start until after we were out of the playoffs, so what does that tell you?

Josh Norman sucks...and talked poo to one of the best receivers to ever play the game. He should get clowned every day he is a member of this organization. If you are going to talk (especially to someone like Steve Smith) then back it up.

2012 stats:
Captain:
Completion: 65.5 %
Avg yards per catch: 9.4
Nfl Qb rating : 76.6

Norman:
Completion: 67.5
Avg yds: 12.4
Rating: 102.1

Not sure how Norman can be considered a upgrade based on this.

heh you're new around these parts. CRA has an obvious and well-documented hatred toward Smitty. Good ideas and rational opinions on most other subjects, but when it comes to Smitty he's about as critical as they come.

I think his hate for Godfrey goes even deeper.

So, you state outlandish remarks on a forum, and you don't care what I think?

Hmmm, THEN WHAT THE fug WAS THE POINT OF POSTING, IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR OPINION QUESTIONED?


Does that make any fuging sense to you?

You are giving opinions when questioning a players talents. That is meaningless, how many times was he targeted, how many blown coverages, where was he ranked when he started? If you don't know those numbers, you are in fact just going off of your memory. Everyone forgets key points and stopping points, so just because you said he sucks, is that really supposed to matter?

Is your saying he sucks giving anything other than your opinion?

Plus, I gave facts and I let you know where he ranked as far as the team and the league, and that's to prove that if you don't have anything more than your opinion, then you are saying 60% of the #2 corners suck in the league which is ignit.

I lost that site, so where did you find that info. Also, where was Thomas ranked in that equation?

It's Profootballfocus but it cost to get these stats.

Thomas
62.7
13.3
102.1

Got Normans rating wrong its actually 96.4

[ThunderKatt]

Got Normans rating wrong its actually 96.4

So Norman seems to be a better corner than Thomas last season?

Also, there was a site that gave that info out for free, i lost the information and bookmarks for it when I resynced my chrome. I will stumble across it at some point.

Solely based of those stats maybe, but not by any considerable amount. Though I never contradicted that.
My argument was toward your statement about Norman vs Captain. And the stats are in my favor.

Goodsen he hates... Steve Smith he is slightly critical at times but nothing bad

[jarhead]

COME AT ME BRO!


In all seriousness though. I think smitty love poking fun at Norman from that little confrontation they had last year in mini camp and how Norman loves to talk trash.

Yea I think its all in fun trash talking
