Too bad that this could be his last season here unless we franchise him.  CBs make more than LBs and I can't see paying him more than Luke.

why not?  Cornerbacks make more than LB's. DE's make more than LB's.  Luke is the highest paid MLB in the league, that has nothing to do with Norman's money.

One of the few times the franchise tag is a bargain.

This helps explain so much.. Should have been figured out by our local writers

i was always confused about some of the things Norman would say in an interview. Him channeling a character helps understand what the crap he was saying. 

I still think he is borderline crazy but using a character to get mentally focused for a challenge is great..

No different than Hardy's "Kraken" persona. Well those two are different but the CONCEPT is the same. Honestly I think that that is Hardy's problem in Dallas. He needed the strong locker room to keep him in line and help separate the two. Now his head is just all over the place and he isn't focused.

Everyone talks about Gettleman not wanting to pay DBs, but this is the first DB he's had that has come up for a new deal and actually deserved big money.  There's no history of Gettleman letting highly valued DBs just walk away.  The Steelers laid Mitchell way too much money and that's been proven both by his performance in Pittsburgh and Coleman's performance replacing him.  Gettleman knew he wasn't worth that $$$.  Finding a plug and play safety to fill in behind our front seven is a little different than finding a legit shutdown CB.  Kinda like truly elite QBs, there's only a handful of true shutdown CBs in the NFL and Norman is one of them.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
