Throw at Norman or the ground?

[Moorgan]

Just saw an interesting tweet from PFF:

@PFF_Sam: Fun stat: QB rating of just throwing the ball into the turf every play: 39.6
QB rating targeting Josh Norman: 24.1

So basically a QB is better off just throwing it away than throwing at Norman because the ground can't get a pick six. It seems Russell Wilson got that message as Josh was basically not targeted but the next question is can Sam Bradford avoid him?

I thought Josh might get a pick on RW because of the floating rainbows he throws up but Bradford seems the better candidate to get the Delta treatment from Josh because of poor decision making. Does Bradford drown in Lake Norman on Sunday night? I say yes.

All the more reason to look at upgrading at the other CB spot in the upcoming draft or in FA.  If we are going to commit big money to Norman(I think we will),  we need to make sure the other side is pretty damn good also since that side will get all the work.  

BTW Gettleman doesn't need for us to tell him that since I'm sure he's already on it.

Bene had a great game last week. I think he's the natural progression from Peanut (maybe even by the end of the season but who knows?).

It's time for another pick 6 and Bradford is the kind of QB who is willing to give it up.

Fun stat

You could throw at the ground and get a 39.6 rating...

See, this is why I hate stats (and I'm a math nerd).

Give Josh Norman some time to prepare and he'll shut down the ground as a receiver, too.

I would rather we find a safety to replace Harper, but this is a Norman thread so I'll stay on task. 

I feel his 5th pick will be Sunday night.

Wilson is the 'best' QB we've faced this season. Bortles, Winston, McCown, Mallet, Wilson...

 

Bradford is horrible. I ain't worried. 

[the butch]

Yep.  Bradford better not go his way.  Dude just isn't as good in Chip's offense.  Norman has proven he can shut down the best receivers in the game.  Riley Cooper isn't scary.  Only QBs I could see testing Josh are Rodgers and Brady.

Well if a NFL team signed me, gave me a million dollars to play against the Panthers I would throw at Josh every down.  I would audible to a deep curl to Josh's side every time.

I'm a Panthers fan.  Your dumbass shouldnt have given me a million dollars to throw ducks at Josh.

Your bad.

yea but how many times a game can you do that and still have that rating?

Beat me to it...

Josh Norman catches better than the ground.
