Not sure why you singled out my post, but I'm not in sky is falling mode or anything absurd like that.

I think it's in the middle. Way too early to tell how this will impact us, but I'm not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend to know we will be just as good in the secondary or better until the next several months have played out. We've seen many highs and lows as Panthers fans, and if it has taught me anything, what you think might happen does not always play out that way. I'm just gonna let it ride.

I was just having a conversation with you. Best way to do that is by quote. Wasn't directed at you in any negative way or implying anything about your stance on the matter one way or the other.

Citing "team and league sources," WFNZ Charlotte's Bill Voth reports the Panthers rescinded CB Josh Norman's franchise tag because a long-term deal "wasn't getting done," they anticipated him becoming a distraction during a forthcoming holdout, and Carolina wants to spend big to retain other players.

Atop the list of "other players" are DTs Kawann Short and Star Lotulelei. Short is entering a contract year, while Lotulelei is signed for two more years. Norman was believed to be weighing a potentially lengthy holdout, and was apparently unwilling to sign his franchise tender, preventing a trade. Per Voth, the Panthers were offering Norman $11 million per year, but he wanted $15 to $16 million annually. Carolina can now recoup a 2017 third-round compensatory draft pick if Norman signs a big deal elsewhere. (He will.)

Gotcha, no worries. Figured I would just make it clear for any potential derpers out there.

Norman, or no Norman. I just want some playmaking ability in the secondary.

I think a healthy Benwikere and Boykin will be more than suitable for our defensive system. 

Will they be Norman good? Of course not that would be silly.

But I think we could do a hell of a lot worse at starting corner.

Again Last 3 Super Bowls winners had talent in the secondary. I hope there's a plan to get us another playmaker if Jno isn't coming back 

The Broncos beat us in the super bowl because Von Miller stuck his cock in Mike Remmers ass. 

The secondary had very little to do with anything.

First of all, I take all these "team and league sources" reports with less than a grain of salt.  But if they are true, the first bolded part is BS.  Josh wasn't going to hold out and become a distraction.  He wasn't going to voluntary minicamps, he may not have even gone to training camp, but he wasn't going to hold out into the regular season like Kam Chancellor.  He's said a number of times that when it's time to suit up and play he was going to suit up and play.

The second bolded part, if true, is not negotiating in good faith by Gettleman.  There's no way Norman was ever going to accept significantly less than what that scrub swindled out of NYG.

I would have thought such a move would have been better after the draft.  DG must have a back up plan.

DG knows talent and the value of that talent. He obviously thought there was too much of a gap between what he thought of JNo's value versus JNo's agent.

I think JNo is an very good DB but the system and players in the system made him look much better. He will get his coin on some non-playoff team. DG will pay his own what they are worth and not more. DG wants guys that will want to win and not just want the coin. I love JNo but he was more interested in the pay day than compete for a championship.

Totally correct. The staff knows these players much better than all of these clowns on here proclaiming Josh to be top 5 talent. I'm betting he goes somewhere with a different scheme and he blows. He may make the money he wants, but he will never sniff another Super Bowl.

Truth is. Josh is a glorified system player. Didn't snag a single pick after week 4 or 5 and he can't guard Julio. Good player....not nearly worth what he thinks.

Except he can and has guarded Julio.  Shut him down all but one game against him.  And he stopped snagging picks because teams all but stopped throwing in his direction.

Poor attempt.  1/10.

Have you ever stopped, and read your gameday posts?

Might want to ease up on the critique of others.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
