That Kevin Norwood play that lead to an INT.

Although it was an interception. What impressed me the most is that he chased down that guy and caused a fumble. The kid hustled and made up for his mistake, had everyone been as eager as him to get to the ball, that INT would have been recovered easily. 

 

He literally zeroed in on that ball and punched it out. I like this kid. 

 

Another note would be had he made that catch, he'd be in the end zone celebrating, there was no one in front of him. I can't recall but maybe the throw was a little behind him or was just too hot to handle.  Either way, this kid is progressing nicely. The following weeks should good.

From my seat it should have been a catch, but Cam did lead him pretty good (which I know is the correct pass) and I'm sure it was a rocket. He was upset about it and I liked the defensive hustle he made. I'm ready to see him get more targets.

The guy didn't catch a pass that an NFL WR has to make.  Nothing great about it, as of right now.

Yep. All this Norwood love is just hope. It isn't based on much. Kid hasn't done anything in the NFL yet. HE may one day, but until then he is the 4th string wr on a team with bad receivers. ( too much truth? )

Luckily his gaffe didn't cost us the game. Against the best teams in the NFL, blowing a crucial drive with your team in the red zone with a mistake like that leaving points on the board could cost us big time. I'm not going to be too hard on him since he is new, but I doubt those looking for a silver lining in that play would be so forgiving if we had ended up losing to Houston.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
