Posting the article just so I can quote this part:

Quote

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman arrived at training camp with a walking stick to beat off the wildlife he'd noticed in past years around the Wofford College campus.

"This is kind of like the contract year, so I don’t want anything to go wrong," he said with a smile.

Norman might need that stick to beat off prospective suitors if the Panthers (8-0) can't re-sign him when he becomes a free agent after the season.

hehehehehehe

His comments about getting paid kinda scare me tbh. I hope he signs here. He's surely been balling out and deserves to get paid. Let's just hope he remains a Carolina Panther

He'll get tagged and then let go in 2017 when he's on the wrong side of 30. Hopefully Gettleman picks up a CB or two in preparation for that

I'm like others who think he's tagged next year and gone after that.  Which is perfectly fine considering his age.  Perfect really.  And remember he wasn't a GMan draft pick.  In GMan we trust.

 

not to mention that while the cost may be absurd, there'd at least be the OPTION to tag him for another year AFTER next.

I love Josh Norman, but some credit has to be given to the coaching staff here.  They continue to get good to great production from the defense regardless of who they plug in.  I wouldn't jump off the cliff and say Josh is purely a product of the system but he's certainly part of a successful system.  Either way I have faith in this front office and coaching staff to make a prudent decision in dollars vs. value.  That can mean being shrewd at times but haven't the Patriots proven for years it's better to let a player walk a year early than keep him a year too long?

yeah, there will be no talk of a home team discount with him. He's already guaranteed that. Gettleman better get ready to pony up

Since no one else has commented on it, I'm just here to assure you that you're not the only one immature enough to have found the wording funny.

Norman is a pervert, beating off wild life and potential suitors.

    • Yeah... One bad game for Bryce meaning he's not a pro and should be replaced, after a strong finish to last season is a little premature. But the clock has started for sure. If anything, we've seen that he needs to do something to have a better start to the season. That is not sustainable.  Truth. The team ain't ready. The defense ain't ready. Derrick Brown didn't even look good. Just because you throw a lot of resources into a position group doesn't mean you've magically fixed it. And saying the team is using resources to make a specific QB look serviceable is insane to me. If they're using draft picks at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. If they're using free agency to get good players at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. It IS NOT to make the QB look serviceable. It's to make the TEAM look serviceable. Football isn't a sport where money necessarily fixes the problem either. I remember the Panthers spent a lot of money on the brother of another olineman, and that was a complete disaster. Paid a lot of money to a HC that was fired half way through his first season and no other team hired him, even though there has been unusually high HC turnover in the NFL. Throwing high draft picks at a position doesn't mean you fixed the problem either. Remember Kelvin Benjamin and Funchess with Cam? Mingo, Marshall... I think after week 4 we'll have a better idea of what we have. This is an extremely young and new group of receivers. The only receiver out there that had ever caught a pass from BY last Sunday was XL. And he wasn't exactly in prime form. I guess if you want to count J. Sanders and Tremble, then... Ok.     
    • Bryce sucks, but he has been throwing it downfield somewhat consistently over the last year.  12th in ADOT in Week 1, last year he was 5th/27th among QBs with at least 50% of their teams dropbacks (only Herbert, Love, Darnold, and Lamar Jackson were ahead).  He was 2nd in Big Time Throw % too. Last week he had 4 20+ yard throws (0 completions) and 9 10-19 yards.  Compare that to say, Jared Goff, who was in a similar spot last week as far as needing his team to rally and score - he only had 1 throw of 20+ yards and 6 10-19 yards. So Bryce is definitely a poor downfield thrower, but he has been a willing one, especially since returning from his benching.  
    • We are in the craper and will be until this team has more talent and better coaching. They have a long way to go.
