Looks like Panthers have signed WR Kevin Norwood

The guy costs us nothing until Saturday.  It's a free tryout by a player we may have drafted.  It should be readily apparent after a couple practices and the Pitt game if he is clearly better and has more potential than B or B. If so you keep him, if not , cut him.  Philly did this exact thing with Barner.  They cut him, put him on the PS and they owe us nothing if he makes the team this year.

I look at these forums and I don't understand the Proehl stuff.  He hasn't done much.  KB is what he was in college, a freak that has drops often.  Brown can't catch.  Bersin isn't anything special.   Ginn is just a speedster with average hands, and always has been.  Cotchery took a nose dive when he came here.   We prop this guy up like we have a GB caliber receiving core but we're bottom 5 in the league and have been forever with this team.   I'm just trying to be realistic, I haven't really seen anyone develop enough to crown him the best receiving coach ever.

Yeah but you're forgetting that picture Mr. Igo took of him teaching our WR the top secret move of subtly pushing off in such a way as to create separation from the defensive back without getting a penalty called. Good luck finding that in another coach!

Worst case scenario: he doesn't make the roster and we lose absolutely nothing.

Next to worst case scenario: he makes the roster, but only barely and he rarely appears on the positive end of the stat line, costing us a low pick and some spare cap space.

Probable scenario: he joins our motley band of second to fourth tier role playing wide outs and does enough to make us all hopeful for him in the future, costing a mid range pick next year.

Best case scenario: he balls the f*** out, cementing his place on the roster for the remainder of his (fourth round) rookie contrat and we lose a decent pick.

I'll take it.

just watched his combine and unfortunately boys, he pretty much dropped every pass thrown to him.

J Jones watched all his Seattle game film from last year and said he basically caught everything catchable, but Wilson basically never looked for him unless he was in the middle of the field.

Well, PFF certainly doesn't think that they have the worst receiving corps in the NFL

The Huddle really needs to let that go, especially since they have Richardson and Lippett who has been making plays this preseason. 

Exactly these are some of the same people who kept saying that Seattle had a top 10 OL back when we had Bell and were saying it was the OL that was making Wilson what he was(they had like the 23rd ranked OL)...but if you actually watch NFL games you would know that their no name WR crew is damn good...they can catch and have great awareness before and after the catch...I mean seriously even in our game vs them they bailed Wilson out with some miracle catches from those prayers Wilson threw.

Also Norwood reminds me of Proehl to be honest...he always hit that crazy play for a TD with Bama and had some game winning catches...Yea he's likely a #3 tops but the ability to make big plays is missing from this offense...oh and he can actually catch...something that seems to be a premium on this team.

      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.
