The kid wants to be paid like a top CB....but I think he once again shows he is streaky/immature.  Not sure  what he is.

Lets review...

He had a HUGE Peanut-esque forced fumble.  His response? The moment he gets out of the pile he looses his cool and has to be hauled off and managed by teammates.  

Later in the game he exhibits textbook early in his career horrible CB play on a corner ball to the end zone.  He looked completely helpless and clueless and should of had PI.  Bortles obviously recognized it and attacked him the next play for a TD.

Next drive for the Jags after the TD Bortles immediately targets Norman.  At this point his coverage play in the game has been subpar.....and Norman makes a great jump reading the QB and we get s pick 6.

so what is Norman? I don't think we really know.  We do know the kid is tremendously talented physically....I think he has a long way to go the paycheck he wants.

Dude had 5 tackles, 2 passes defensed, a forced fumble and recovery, and pick 6. What more do you want? Our D, sans Luke and Star, held them to 75 total yards in the 2nd half.

Just enjoy the win man, you're never gonna get a perfect game. JNo isn't perfect, but he's an above average CB, and by far the best CB on this team.

I keep hearing "if he gets called this" "if he gets called that".  There's nothing wrong with what he does.  Has he ever even gotten called for talking?  A lot of people, including some on the Panthers, seem to have too much of a problem with his jawing.  In neither of his "immature" moments today was he causing a problem.  If he starts getting penalized for jawing at the opponents, then he needs to be told to tone it down.  But until then, let the man get and stay in his groove how he needs to.

Now, did he give up a couple passes today?  Sure, that's part of the streakiness I won't dispute.  But for the past quite a few games his good streakiness has outweighed his bad streakiness by a lot.

Everyone wants to find the little pointless things to complain about. I don't understand why people are like this. I just sit back and enjoy the win. I don't care how we get it

only reason he doesn't get flagged is b/c his teammates have to manage him and yank his rearend out of scenarios...

jawing isn't an issue.  He loses his composure....so it just comes down to "when" his teammates don't get to him in time.

He's a great player but also a mental midget. He's a nearly 30 year old man that has to be babysat by Thomas and Roman seemingly every game because he acts like a child and does stupid poo.

 

 

I'm not sure you or any of us are in any position to question his mental aptitude.  He doesn't "have to be babysat by Thomas and Roman."  For whatever reason TD doesn't like Norman jawing.  It hasn't hurt us in the past, isn't gonna hurt us in the future.  TD just seems to have a problem with it/him and as long as it doesn't turn into a drama, TD has earned the right to do that if he wants.

that's quite some heavy speculation there being passed off as fact.  "Loses his composure"?  What exactly do you mean by this?  All I ever see is jawing.  I've never seen him take his helmet off and start swinging, bodyslamming people, or getting into fights.  All I've seen is him jawing, and then TD comes and gets in his ear about it.  "In time" for what? For Norman to complete his sentence?  Ok.

I'm sure you'll care when his childish shoving and jawing costs us a game.

Always looking at the negative. Talking about how he MIGHT cost us a game instead of how he basically sealed the win for us with a pick 6. smdh. His talking is part of who he is. I have no problem with what he did today, sure a couple mistakes but every player makes mistakes here and there.

My only point is this, this ain't Minority Report out there.  Trying to say it's only a matter of time, or he'd have unsportsmanlike conduct penalties if not for big brother TD yanking his ear and pulling him away is pure speculation and until he ACTUALLY gets in trouble for something it's unfair to assume he will.

edit: just looked it up.  this is his 4th year in the league and he's had ONE unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.  ONE.  Kuechly has been ejected once and had an unnecessary roughness once (similar penalties).  so I think people need to get off Norman's jock about this til it actually becomes a problem.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
