If this is playing out as a Josh wanting way more then Gettelmen is willing to pay situation.. And Becomes more of a rental than a core player we want him to be.. Does CB become more of the number 1 need of this team??

A nasty front 7 can make an average back 4 look really good and that's where G-man is going to continue to build. Norman is a great corner but I really don't see us paying him in the Revis range. 

The 2013 team is a perfect example of this. That secondary was about as average as it gets.

Why would he sign his tender? Once he signs it he is under contract and must me attend all mandatory functions. As long as he doesn't, he can't be fined for not showing up.

Title is a bit misleading. He hasn't done anything to indicate he would miss any team activities at this point.

Yeah, but he's a diva, and divas are a tempermental lot. So we should expect the expected unexpected.

Wrong, it can help but a top 10 QB can negate a pass rusher, Huddlers have very selective memory let me remind of you 2013. A balanced team will always be better. Also later part of 2015 was poo when Bene and Tillman went down. Broncos won because they had pass rushers and secondary to throw of the timing of our routes.

Allow me to remind you of Mike Mitchell.

Our 2013 defense was great but by no means was it good enough that it completely negated our weak secondary. We didnt exactly play against prime time QBs that year. Our two biggest threats were Kaepernick and RW who was in his second year and was more of a game manager. Brady torched us in the MNF game and Brees picked us apart in the SNF game. When you play an elite QB you need more than a pass rush, as the great ones can disect the play before the snap and quicken their release

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
