Josh Norman: Munnerlyn Never Helped Me

[Cpt slay a ho]

another former panther hate fest oh joy

[CPcavedweller]

Munnerlyn grew up rough so I doubt he really feels any empathy for a kid getting beaten or sees it as a criminal offense. I've heard stories too from friends who associated with the players(but it's nothing but hearsay at this point).

Also I agree with everything Munnerlyn says. Norman is still just a scrub who hasn't played nearly well enough to justify his trash talk.

He did better against Julio Jones than Joe Haden did in my opinion. I remember two pass break ups and a TFL and numerous other times he simply had great coverage on Julio. Any time he "got beat"(as many of you like to say) he was in zone coverage and it was a good pass.

[CPcavedweller]

that is an insult to Greg Hardy

3 games and suddenly people are forgetting just how bad and costly Norman has been here in his short career.

Norman has the highs and lows of a Sherrod Martin at this stage.

How many corners not named Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis have taken the league by storm their first two years?

Sounds about right, you never can trust those Gamecocks.

i think you meant fact fest

 

it's not my fault that this team couldn't cut a dried up turd without half the huddle inducting him into the hall of fame

Captain was a top 5ish nickel CB. He sucked when asked to be something he wasn't.

People are putting too much stock in 3 games. Norman has been a dumpster fire for years here. Past 3 games don't erase all that yet.

Yeah, he has potential.....potential and Captain hate don't make him a better player yet

 

I agree with most of what you're saying, but I think I disagree with your main point. 

 

If we're comparing apples to apples, Norman playing on the outside vs Captain playing on the outside, as bad as he was at it Norman was still better than Captain.  Captain was the worst starting CB I've ever seen in a Panthers uniform, and that's including Norman.  Norman hasn't really spent much time in the Nickel, so we can't really compare their performance there.  But Capt was a good Nickel.

we made some bad decisions this offseason

 

letting munnerlyn have a $3.3 million cap hit on somebody else's roster (a luxury we can't afford) wasn't one of them

in 2011, a year where captain started on the outside in all the games but one, he gave up the 4th highest QB rating when thrown at in the league.  it's just a fact that when he's lined up on number one receivers, particularly big ones, he gets picked on.

I feel I should be honest.

 

I never helped Norman either.

Exactly.  And it wasn't even the size difference that was the biggest problem.  It wasn't even that often that he just gave up a jump ball because a WR was taller than him.  When he had to cover a receiver for more than a couple seconds he'd get turned around, lost, and completely out of position.  He just doesn't have the ability to cover a WR on the outside.  Too much space for him.

So one CB resembling a piece of burnt toast in coverage didn't help another CB that resembles a piece of burnt toast in coverage.  Got it.

like against miami last season: 7 of 7 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown when targeted.  tannehill was watching out for wallace singled up on munnerlyn and fed him the ball when he saw it.
