Looks like Panthers have signed WR Kevin Norwood

I absolutely hate our philosophy on WRs.   I just don't understand it.  This was so stupid...   For everyone talking trash about how there isn't anything better among free agents, you're telling me we couldn't have found better than Norwood? 

We love guys with horrible measureables and who generally suck (KB the exception).  

I'm starting to think we don't care about getting guys who can catch and make plays because we're really just looking for extra blockers.

they were referenced as such by the media last year and most.  Graham certainly improves there pass attack tremendously.  WR talent in a vaccum......not strong at all until proven otherwise.

Because the media says it, it must be true.

I've watched plenty of Seattle games over the past few years and their WR corps has been extremely underrated for a while now - especially when Tate was still there.  They don't have a super flashy guy like Megatron, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Dez Bryant, etc., but  what they do have is a bunch of really solid guys.

They all are capable of big plays, have reliable hands, attack the ball, decent-to-good run blockers and don't stop trying to get open even after done with their routes.  They ALL seemingly run the scramble drill to perfection as well, which is huge with a mobile QB.

Don't believe the hype, they've had several quality #2 level guys there, and Tate is a borderline/low end #1.  Seattle fans and the media spout that BS as a means to build Wilson up.  A true shitty WR corps is what we've got right now, what we've had, what the Jets have had, what the Raiders have had, etc.

Why in the world would we trade for somebody they were about to cut? Were we worried we might. Ot be able land this premiere talent in free agency?

 

Because we're sitting near the bottom of the waiver wire.  

I'd be willing to bet this "trade" is something like a conditional 6th or 7th round pick (depending on Norwood's production).  Deals like this for players heading toward the waiver wire usually are.  Its usually a conditional pick just to jump you to the front of the line.  If it is conditional and the dude bombs out, we've lost nothing.

You guys are panting and gasping like Nippleshorts traded a 1st round pick and Luke Kuechly for him... lol.

Always amazes me just how little value some people put on actually catching the ball. It's a priority in Seattle, and it works.

If fans ran the team I'm sure we'd have the biggest, fastest receivers out there. They might never catch anything, but at least they'd be wide open when they dropped it.

How anyone could watch that game with Corey Brown the other night and still not understand the value of reliable hands is beyond me.

I feel like you're searching too hard for fault with a trade in which apparently we only give up something if he makes a contribution...

Like what I'm reading about him being strong at getting the ball at the high point and making good aggressive catches in traffic.

Also, getting a chuckle out of him being from 'Bama with Cam from Auburn.  Do we have other Tide players on the team?  There's gonna be some trash talk for sure...

And then there's the name:  Kevin.  Kelvin, Devin, Kevin.  Yikes!

Glad G'man did something and that this guy was a draft pick with some experience.  Let's see how he plays.  At least it's a guy we know our team scouted.  That provides some hope.

      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.
