Rivera: "Feel really good about Norwood this week, will play 20 plus snaps."

Not only are there other threads on this. But there are about 10 of them. Is Kevin Norwood like a younger clone of Jerry Rice or are we so bad at WR that we have to obsess over a 4th round pick who was traded from a team that is almost just as bad at WR as us for scraps? 

I hope he does well but is he really worth all this excitement?

We're really just that desperate for someone to step up at WR.

Baldwin, Kearse, Lockette, Matthews > than Panthers receivers while Ginn and Brown are the starting options. 

I mean guys here were just obsessed just a month ago by an UDFA named Philly, "I mean Corey, wait I mean Philly" Brown.

So yeah I can definitely see posters excited over a receiver with seemingly more pedigree, size, and potential.

I told you after that preseason game that he was going to play a bigger than expected role.  I told you the other day that he would probably play sooner rather than later. Once he gets on the field,  he will play that Doug Baldwin role for us this year,  and he will do it better than Baldwin does for the Seahawks. Believe me and be pleasantly surprised.

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
