J No seems like such a down to earth cool dude off the field.  Reminds me of that "switch" people refer to being flipped when they talk about Luke.  Josh almost gets TOO emotionally invested in between the white lines.  Love it though.  Kinda like smitty was, love to have him on my side, but would probably loathe him if I was a fan of another team.

I agree man. I remember meeting Josh @ the AZ game in 13' and he signed my hat for me and we chatted briefly. He wasn't even dressed, still in Rivera's dog house, and I was just trying to tell him how I knew what he was capable of. It's awesome to see where his hard work and faith have gotten him and I hope he can be locked up long term so I can get an authentic J-No Jersey. 

yea I'm def waiting till he's locked up to pull the trigger on a jeresy but it will def be the first purchase made as soon as the news breaks! He's probably one of the most personable players we have had in awhile I hope it continues with his rising status!

I don't know when the proverbial light came on for Norman, but I'm glad it did.  There was a time when a lot of folks thought he'd be a bust.  Illustrates why sometimes you have to be patient with players.

Norman himself gives a lot of credit to the influence of Roman Harper.  I gotta think having Charles Tillman around is a big deal too.

Remember that the next time you think signing old vets is a waste of time.

I think too that if it had been almost any other coach besides Rivera he wouldn't be as good as he is now, that light may have never turned on.

People should also remember all the things said about Norman just a few years ago before they think about proclaiming Devin Funchess a bad pick.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
