Odds were already stacked against us because we lost the SB, but I knew we were going back

But now without a corner we know can hold his own against any WR it's definitely not happening now. Unless we get that it's not going to happen. Our pass rushers isn't = Ware & Von 2015, even then Broncos still had Talib. I hate Seattle even more now, they kept Sherman, Kam & Earl together. Josh was a reason so many fans and players were so salty last year and I enjoyed every minute of it damn. Good luck to him

CAR will be okay. Even though CAR's pass rush wasn't the greatest CAR won a lot of games without him before.

If you have watched the Panthers since it all began in 95' like I have, think about how special Josh Norman was.  The Panthers never had a CB put up remotely close to the season he put up.  The closest a CB in our franchise history ever came to Josh's level of dominance might be Ricky Manning and it was for two games lol.  Watching him last year was amazing, knowing whoever came onto the field was getting shut down, all the way up to the SB when he shut down DT.   A shut down CB like Norman is not easy to replicate, that's why we've never had one in our franchise history.  Sucks we only got to enjoy in for a year and a half..Best CB in franchise history shown the door in a year we are Super Bowl favorites and can afford him, makes sense.

Sure, we could have afforded him this year, which is why he was tagged. He WOULDNT SIGN THE TAG. Letting Josh go now was good business for both sides,and gives the Panthers room to long-term younger players like KK and Star. This team is aiming for perennial greatness, and this move proves that. Makes sense.

We've grown from a wretched unpredictable franchise in cap hell, to 3 time division champs, conference champs, perennial contenders with $30+ mil in cap space and the draft still in front of us.  Tell me again how one player changes this?  Cam and Luke are the only players on this roster with the leverage Josh thought he had.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
