Let's be real here. Rivera fugged that one up. Norman should have been starting a long time ago. He was too conservative to let him play.

I don't disagree with the notion that Norman was the better player in terms of skills and talents, but his problem was communication, mistakes, and freelancing. Which if you know football those issues, allow for big gains and scoring...Even on a great defense. Remember the Buffalo game? Bene singled a switch, well norman either ignored, missed or wanted to his own thing the call. Result the panthers lost to a eg Manuel lead bills.

JNo could sign a 4 year deal for roughly 45 million with 25 guaranteed. That would be a fair deal and would guarantee he played his best years here and stI'll provide some cap help in year 1.  This would not break the bank at all and not stop us from signing other players. If he doesn't take it some other very good vet corner will give up a decent deal for a possible super bowl ring.

Not even close. He didn't play as a starter because he was not willing to stay within the system and play his responsibility instead of free lancing all the time. Plus he shot his mouth off and was very undisciplined.  Once he got the message and did what he was supposed to do he started and shined. This has been discussed ad nauseum. Where have you been???

Yes I have been there for that conversation but I think it's overblown. Norman should have started earlier. Ron had a history of starting vets over fresher talent and to this day he still does to a lesser degree. 

So Norman blew the Buffalo game. Big deal. You could also make the argument Ron blew that game too. He didn't become Riverboat until later that year. Refs also screwed us out of that game.

And your opinion doesn't trump what Norman himself admitted about why he didn't start.

It isn't being fresher it is making sure they know their responsibilities in our defense in every situation. Experience is as important or more so than being younger.  Rivera has a history of building top notch defenses everywhere he has gone. But let's ignore all that because you don't agree.

Norman is going to tow the line. What else would you expect him to say? Especially if he wanted to play. We started poo CBs over him for years. I'm not saying he didn't free lance too much. But there were times where putting him in could have helped us win vs his liability to screw it up.

And you know that how? I love people with absolutely no football experience questioning a guy who won coach of the year two of the last three years. So when the player in question admits he had issues, he is just towing the line. no. Just let it go. You  have no credible argument here.  Norman didn't start tbecause the team had to teach him that you either conform to the system or you don't play no matter how much talent you have. The same with Ealy this year. Guys Come out of college with huge egos, they have to be humbled and taught they aren't bigger than the team.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
