Looks like Panthers have signed WR Kevin Norwood

Damned if we do make a move and damned if we don't. The fact is people wouldn't be happy unless we got a big named WR and to be honest I think that the Panthers aren't looking for bandaids but players that can grow with Cam. Now it sounds like we were high on the guy in last years draft and considering him so what is the harm in a conditional pick when he wouldn't have lasted on the waiver wire until we are able to pick him up? 

Now do I think he is the answer? Doubt it, but we won't know until he comes in here. I can already say that we need someone who is willing to FIGHT for the ball and not let the ball come to them. It seems like all of our receivers that are active right now won't win in a fight and hopefully this guy will. 

I know I am a homer but lets keep it real, Gettleman has a good track record so far with draft picks and I am considering him a draft pick of ours since we wanted him.

From the video clips I watched he looks like a less athletic Funchess. He's stiff and rigid, much like Bersin but has near perfect form while catching and makes great use of his hands. Has good straight line speed and like KB he high points the ball and shields with his body really well.

Really looks like another Boykin or Bersin type, don't see what he really adds other than abother body.

Strikes me as a potential replacement for Philly if he doesn't work out his hands issue.  By all accounts we liked Norwood in the 4th round last year - might have been rated higher than Philly in draft eval and he has good hands.  Give Philly a few weeks and if things don't improve give Norwood a shot.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
