I keep hearing everyone mention how much better we'll be when Norman returns. Am I the only one that fears the stupid penalties he brings for extra curricular activities after the whistle? I like his mean streak, but he does some boneheaded things when the play is over.

 

I'm on the fence about his return. I think the toughness he brings is needed, but he needs to be real disciplined in the coming weeks. We can't afford giving away more yards.

I have always been quick to point out his negative....

But at this point we need to try something. If he can bring a mix of positive and negative it might be worth it. Secondary is just a punching bag right now and they look like they know it. Harper too.....might be better off giving the rookie reps to grow

During the Lions game, they showed a clip of him shutting down Megatron on a play and staying draped on him step for step on the entire route, it was pretty impressive. He has improved a lot and is miles better than what we have now

he's only played a limited number of snaps this season, but out of his 40 something coverage plays he's only been targeted 2x but opposing quarterbacks.

he has to be doing something right.

They all need to rotate and give this defense a new look. White on the right, Cason the left, we're too easy to gameplan against. Sometimes I dont think our coaching staff realize teams watch tapes on us as well and put in a plan to defeat us

the only place cason needs to be rotated to is the bench.

it won't matter what they do, whoever he covers is going to be one of the quarterback's primary reads.

cason is the equivalent of an open garage door for any quarterback to throw thru.

I truly believe that Norman-White-Bene are the best options we have at this point. But like most of you said, things just need to be shaken up. If Norman can keep just a bit of that attitude without losing his cool he has a chance to make an impact. At least thats what I'm hoping for. Id rather bring back Drayton Florence than see Cason at this point

Norman has one personal foul in his entire NFL career, when he was a rookie.  I wouldn't fear that too much.  It was his technique and scheme discipline that was the big problem.

      I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50..... Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent.    I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this.

      Looks like he ran out of real estate.  He had 5 total TDs. As good as we have ever seen in Carolina? Looks like he is the only QB in our history with 3 passing and 2 rushing TDs and he tied a single game record of 5 TDs in one game with Cam and Beurlein.  Throw in his 73.4% completions and zero turnovers, literally the ONLY thing you could argue against statistically is total yardage which was only 275.  You may not agree with that statement (not 100% sure I do), but it's really not THAT wild...
