Excellent piece by Doug Farrar over at SI.com.

Josh Norman looks at film of himself and breaks it down for us. As usual per Josh, it's awesome. 

Here he breaks down the pick six against Jameis Winston:

 

I had a safety over the top, and on that play, I just looked at it and anticipated the throw. I was just trying to crouch down like a tiger [laughs] so the quarterback wouldn't see me. Kind of disguising it. I don't think he saw me at all, and when he put the ball up, I said, “I cannot believe this—this is really coming to me!” So I broke on it the same way I broke on the one against Jacksonville, and again, just wanted to make sure I caught the ball. Then, I just ran as fast as I could, because I didn't want to get caught from behind by a quarterback [laughs]. That would not have been a Top 10 Play moment.

 

 

Do yourself a favor and read this one. http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/10/06/josh-norman-highlights-tape-carolina-panthers

He's more important to our team's success than KK or Star, in my opinion. Re-signing him should be a priority over those two, IF it comes to deciding between them (and of course we have KK and Star already signed for next year and a possible 5th year option for Star). We really really need to keep him.

If he continues his current pace then yes he will be more important than KK or Star.

Short somehow managed to get a higher PFF score this last week, but yeah Norman has been the man this year. Problem is that he's going to want more money than KK or Star.

JNo_24 has earned the attention, but part of me wonders if he'd get as much publicity if he was under contract for another year or two. Just look at how the media eats out of Smitty' hands now that he's a Raven. Or how journalists could'nt suck off DeAngelo hard enough at the start of this season. Now it's how much Hardy will improve the Dallas defense.

They're probably hoping the nicer they are to Josh, it will help sway his mind on where to play next year. Too bad for them he's gonna get his fanny franchised tagged and be "forced" to play in such a small market, but I'm sure we'll get plenty of articles about how "unfair" the franchise tag is when that happens. After all, why would any player in their right mind want to play for such a backwater team that the sportswriters have no reason to visit?

I love Norman on our team this year.

However, I'd rather spend the money he will command this offseason on two pass rushers rather than a contact year elite corner. 

Thanks, but no one cares.  We have an elite corner and after we release Harper and CJ we'll have so much cap room we can get a pass rusher, and the other side we'll have Alexander, Ealy, Delaire, and maybe Allen for the cheap.  I think that will suffice for now.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
