Does Josh Norman Grow up this year?


Recommended Posts

Saw this on BBR and looks like a great topic.

I don't any of us can argue that the boy has talent.   He can really play the position.

 

What his problem is, he wants to play rogue.  He doesn't want to play within the scheme and each piece has to do their part.  He didn't seem to get it.  

 

Hopefully he has matured and has got it.    I would hate for us to lose his talent.  Especially since we are thin at DB.  

 

Good Luck Josh.

 

Thoughts?

It looks, to many, if not all, that he plays on his own.  Like he thinks he is above the system.  It may simply be that he just doesn't understand or have the ability to learn at this level.  It's not a terrible thing, not everyone was meant to be an NFL player.  It may just be too much for him.  I hope he can get it down because his athleticism could be a huge advantage to us on the back end.

He is getting up there in age to be learning like a rookie.  He was drafted age 24 or so--27 and still does not get it?  Not a good sign.

 

Maybe, but Bene Benwickere (Spelled right?) could surprise and could easily win the nickel job.  Cason, White. Godfrey-we might not need Norman and his renegade stupidity. ( I think he was the one who gave up the TD late vs Buffalo. )

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
