I tend to believe that Gettleman and his team have found an obscure guy in the draft that they believe fits the Josh Norman role that will likely listen sooner than Josh did. I think that they hope they can get lightning in a bottle twice.

 

We shall see

I'm not going to convince myself it's the case, but maybe we came across a prospect that made us feel a little more comfortable doing this.  It may be a complete non-factor but there are some very interesting mid-round CB prospects this draft.  We've been finding quite the effective guys recently outside of just the 1st.  In a weird way, I'm excited.

I do not think he can do magic but I think he is a very smart football guy.

I don't pretend to know more regarding draft picks etc. However some moves you can tell if they are emotional and if they make sense financially. I don't see the benefit of this move. Seems like it was fueled by emotion.

i bet you said that going into 2013

Were people saying he could do magic in 2013? no. 

My point is many people on this board are delusional in their assessments of the Panthers staff.

You guys do know, after the draft, there will be some players cut.  Remember the Panthers cutting Keshawn back in 2007.  It happens every year.  The guys will be older or have a big cap number but there will be a few guys out there that their team feels like they just drafted their replacement and will cut them before the team sees the rookie on the field at all.  Wait to panic after a few guys get cut.  Then panic all you want.

This is the first thread in Huddle history that has made me want to take a drink.

I think that it started with Cortez Allen. Cortez Allen? He sucks...

Cortez Allen was shaping up to be a stud.....then injury, and then the mystery of the Steeler backfield occurred. 

Allen was tabbed to be their Norman

True, but the shine started to wear off during 2014. He looked more like Antoine Cason than Josh Norman last season. I don't know, perhaps a change of scenery...

You guys are in for a world of hurt.  Losing Norman hurts many positions.  Our safeties aren't the best, Coleman gets INTs but gets regularly burned.  Now he has to cover both sides (because people chose not to pass to Norman's guy).   We're going to be burned pretty bad back there, unless Boston comes in and is amazing or we get lucky in the draft.  Whatever CB comes in is going to be 50% as good as Norman as well.  We also now need the Dline to be better than they were.  Their sacks last year were COVERAGE sacks, and now that Norman is gone, the QB's have a lot more places to throw.

There are a lot of variables that have to go right for this to make sense.   Maybe DG is magic?  I doubt it.   This is going to be another Chandler/Bell situation I'm afraid.  I hope I'm 100% wrong though.

I think you're over reacting just a tad.  I would be willing to bet that a majority of our sacks were not coverage sacks.  Some were, yes, but it wasn't even close to 50%.  I'm not saying Josh wasn't valuable, because he was, but to go doom and gloom over one guy is kinda silly.

Josh Norman will get snapped up by San Francisco, Rams, Oakland or another team desperate to win. I wouldnt be surprised if he is signed before the week is out.  But given we are not going to expect a rookie to start at corner through the draft, who are we going to bring in.  Do we resign Peanut if his rehab is going well, bring in another guy like Cromartie on a 1 or 2 year prove it contract, or sign someone younger who is relatively unknown.  Move Boykin to the outside and bring in another nickel guy or something else???

I think we must have something in the works already or we wouldnt have let him go.  What says the huddle???

Already signed Boykin. That's probably it until post-draft.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion.  Contact negotiations were bad, Josh not signing the tender...potential to be a distraction, time to move on. Now we have $13 million to invest in the team...not rent a player with no future here.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
