...because combine results is always an indicator of how a person plays on the field.

I said nothing about his play, simply talking about pure athletic ability here. He's a below average athlete for an NFL CB. Pure and simple. When you're below average in all categories of the Combine, it's safe to say you're a below average pure athlete.

I dont think Newtons's opinions are any better than any other huddler. But I posted the article to show hoe perceptions of Norman vary. Did thinks Norman Will be cut as of right now. Dave thinks he can be a starter. Just something to debate and talk about. I for one am not ready to give up on him yet.

Why Norman thinks keeping your mouth is being a "puppet" is beyond me.  The only thing he could possibly accomplish  by trash talking is negative. I am very sorry that 2 years of bench riding and a player like TD getting in his face is not enough to convince him that he should reconsider his approach. How dumb is this guy?

I've been watching the 2012 season. He always seems to come into the picture just after the play ends. It looks like he avoids contact...every once in a while he'll jump a route and take a chance and I think that makes him appear to be better than he really is. I thought I liked him before, but re-watching his rookie year and then watching him in preseason this year I've become very uneasy about him. Sorry, Josh, I think we need to cut you...

I have this terrible feeling if we cut him, he will go on to be a perrenial pro bowler elsewhere. Just this feeling I cant shake

 

Maybe a Pro Bowler for the *insert Arena League team of your choice here*

 

Norman was a guy I really wanted in the draft that year.  I was so excited that we drafted both him and Joe Adams.  Those worked out well.

 

I've held out hope for Norman, but at this point I think it's clear that he's just a knucklehead who's never gonna "get it".  There was a guy here on the huddle who had a friend on that Coastal Carolina team who warned us about this right after we picked Norman and he was attacked mercilessly.  He was right.

Would it be far off base to say if he respected authority, listened to veteran leadership, strived to play within the scheme and just took his trash talking propensity down a notch or two he'd be an unquestionable starting corner?

 

Exactly, and all those things that you just mentioned are NOT that hard to fix. I rather him be a knucklehead that needs to be humbled rather than a guy that just flat out sucks and has no ability worthy of being placed on the field. I would be way more frustrated if he was a high round pick not panning out. Nobody saw these character issues with him coming before we drafted him anyway, heard rumors but nothing concrete. He seemed legit. Some guys come into the league with their head up their ass and then go threw the humbling process but it can also be vice versa with certain players as well. I think Norman will get it soon.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
