Definitely a Gem and glad we signed him. 

I remember they were talking how when they broke the huddle.  He always yelled break or something to that effect.  Kind of motivating the rest of the players.   Guys like him are infectious.  Get a couple like him.  Big and Nasty like Williams is supposed to be.   We'll have a mauler front line like our defensive front line. 

Nasty Hog Mollies.

I know we need him at guard , but could he be transitioned to tackle if another starting guard became available ?  Would he have what it takes ?  Just thinking that it might be easier to find a quality guard than tackle and this guy looks determined enough to do what ever it takes to play.  I mean he would be better at tackle than Amini I would guess.

Just doing some reading, and Norwell is 6' 6" and played some Left Tackle in college so this really isn't too crazy an idea.

A lot of lineman make the mistake of overextending.  They forget the angle the DL needs to take to get to the QB and they chase the DL, losing most of the time.  Norwell gets it.  He does not waste motion.  Been saying that since last season.  I LOVE Norwell.

It looks like he has the athleticism, footwork and hands to consider at Tackle, but the problem is that he isnt tall enough or have enough wingspan. 

He is fantastic at guard though. 

6' 6" isnt tall enough to play tackle? And while 33 5/8 inch arms arent ideal it is still longer than the Premier tackle in the league in Joe Thomas

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
