A peasant throwing rocks at a giant

He will get the tag.

by cutting CJ and Allen we could be nearly 50 million under the cap.... We could get him and a free agent pass rusher... Vernon anyone?

I think CAR would give Norman a deal. I wonder how JPP could do in CAR since Gettleman is familiar with him.

Norman being Norman. There's no question that we need and want him here. I just don't know how the FO feels about his antics. But no doubt, he is a darn good corner and I'm glad and hope he stays a Panther!

I doubt they care about his antics as long as it doesn't devolve into illegal off the field stuff.

It's interesting that everyone here and in the media is saying that Norman is calling Evans a peasant here and missing a very obvious David vs Golliath reference. Evans is the larger in stature figure and Norman is the smaller victor....the shepherd or peasant David figure throwing rocks at a giant. 

Did nobody else catch that reference?

Dunno if he should be talking, Jones kicked his ass last week

He did? (I seem to remember 70+ yards of it and the only TD being on Coleman and Kuechly.)

and Evans had 99 yards today.

Norman gave up all of those 99 yards?

Maybe, but smart business may look at it like an iceberg, what we're seeing is the tip but as time goes on what was underneath, starts to show. Don't get me wrong, I want him here. I just wish that he could go out and ball without trying to fight like he's on the streets. At this point, he's good enough to let his game speak for him. Don't have a problem with the trash talking, just the close to penalty calling antics...

People that think we will even look at Vernon or Wilkerson are delusional. We can't afford either and Wilkerson doesn't even play as a 4-3 DE. He would be a 3T DT in our system which is what Kawann plays. Those two guys will go for $15M+ per year. That's not happening unless you want don't want to bring back Norman or Short.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • 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.
