Who's better than Norman?

6 catches for 59 yards last time (less than ten yards per catch) on 11 targets isn't enough proof? Plus on top of that hes less healthy than last time?

MJ had the flu and went ham when he was in the NBA? JJ could light up Norman as easy as Norman can eliminate the threat of JJ. I have rational expectations. One game is such a small sample and very inadequate in use for defense. I love Norman's passion and gameplay. All I ask is stand back and wait for the results. Read up on the Law of Small Numbers.

For a second, let's disregard his occasional idiotic mistakes. Speaking purely in terms of being a cover corner, who is better right now than Norman? I would say Sherman, Revis, Peterson, and (maybe) Talib. Anyone else?

This can't be serious? You think maybe their are only 3 better CBs?

Man, a couple good games against bad teams really change perspectives. Suddenly we have no OL issues and a shutdown CB...I guess Ron is a good HC too now

Norman has been a shutdown corner this entire year when healthy as starter, and against really good receivers. I wouldn't call him a top 10 corner YET but if we're only taking into account the past month or so he's easily been a top 5 corner.

Who have we played this past month?

Saints suck. Bucs suck. Browns suck.

Oh, Teddy Bridgewater and his all star WRs?

Look, Norman is making improvements. That is good. I acknowledge that. But people are drastically jumping the gun on him.

In the NFC South alone I would put Keenan Lewis and Desmond Trufant above him right now.

 

I'm a big Norman supporter but he has just now (meaning the 2nd half of the year) started to look like a starting caliber CB.  

 

He did a good job against Julio the first time and has done well against Evans, Gordon, and Patterson, but I would think Norman is just now getting on an offensive coordinator's radar in terms of trying to alter anything to exploit his weaknesses.

 

I want nothing more than to have Norman and Benwiekere be our starting CB unit for a few years to come, but it is way too early to crown Norman anything.

 

Our standard for good CB play has fallen so far since the days of Gamble/ Lucas when they were in their prime that we get excited over anything

      OFFICIAL Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers Week 8 GAMEDAY Thread

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      All three charlotte Observer predictors took the Panthers to beat the Jets last week, so the margin among the trio has stayed the same. Fowler maintains a hefty lead at 6-1 over Kaye (2-5) and Zietlow (2-5). Fowler: Panthers 27, Bills 26. Even as I write this, I am having a hard time believing I am going to pick against reigning MVP Josh Allen and Buffalo. But the Panthers are a far better team when playing at home (3-0). The Panthers at least have a shot if they play turnover-free football and run the ball at least 35-40 times against Buffalo’s 31st-ranked rushing defense (with 70% of those carries going to Rico Dowdle, preferably). Put me down for an upset and, hey, if it doesn’t work out, at least I’m giving my colleagues a chance to catch up. Kaye: Bills 27, Panthers 24. I think this game will be close, regardless of who will be at QB for Carolina. The Panthers should have plenty of success on the ground with a few Tetairoa McMillan moments sprinkled in. Josh Allen, though, can be a monster on the football field, and it’s late October. Zietlow: Bills 38, Panthers 21. Trust me, I’ve heard the same things you have. The Bills haven’t beaten a team over .500 yet. They’ve lost two straight. The Panthers brought in former Bills quarterback Mike White to the practice squad to find a competitive edge. Etc. Etc. But this is a game the Bills need to win in order to get on the right track — and a bye week of preparation will only help Josh Allen and the rest of the team in this effort. I think the Panthers hold close for a while, but then the Bills pull away at the end.

      Bills predictions

      Anthony Richardson has been plagued by injuries and what does his play have to do with Hendon.  Richardson was a combine warrior his passing stats in college never showed elite he was drafted on potential. Hendon was an elite passer in college and is near the top of all time Tennessee passing stats.  The jury is still out on what Hooker ability at this level is.
