On second thought...we should have paid Norman

It's not just this draft that makes me realize we should have paid Josh Norman, it's thinking back to last season. How many times during the course of last season did you stand up and say "PAY THAT MAN"

I'm sure you can flip through old game threads, it was said a lot. Norman made game changing plays last year. He was a dynamic playmaker for this team. I'm not saying we should have paid him what Washington did, but I don't think we had to go that high. 

The Seahawks paid Richard Sherman, The cardinals paid Patrick Peterson, you could argue that Revis was the reason the Patriots won the Super Bowl. 

CB was already considered a need coming in, with Josh Norman on the team. I think two reaches by our GM, who typically doesn't reach for need, shows just how bad the situation really is.

Norman was very good. but he's no Revis. Cardinals play man, and Peterson gets beat sometimes, but he's on an island. Seahawks play more man than we do. The CB's were rated as second rounders by Gettleman. So, no reaches.

The 14 million not spent on Norman, can be spent on KK, Star, Kelvin, Trai and Norwell.

Read the post, decided to blow this up.

The difference between paying Sherman and Peterson is when they're in their 30s/Close to their 30s, theyy're be near the end or at the end of their contracts. Josh will be in the 2nd year of his 5 year deal when he's 30. 

And unless you're Champ Bailey or Charles Woodson, 30s are around the time CBs start dropping off a bit.

I think we should have kept the tag for a year but I get why we pulled it. This isn't static though, because Josh is gone OTHER players, regardless of position, are going to make plays, game changing plays. We have a ton of talent on this team. 

 

You ou can't just look at Josh being gone and say well we're gonna lose 5 game changing plays this upcoming season. It doesn't work that way.

Everyone knows we should of payed Norman at least for this upcoming season.

 

People are just back tracking cause they blindly agree with every DG move.

We WERE going to pay for Norman this season. Blame Norman and his agent for not signing it.

IDK about losses but it  will affect team in a sense that LBs will have to take on more responsiblity and will burden them slightly in doing their own assignments. Specifially the play where  Luke tipped the ball away from WR and started yelling at Finnegan trying to cover up that mistake.

Nope can't blame him when he wanted to resign with the team the second he was cut.

 

Not only that but they had until June to reach a deal, so cutting him just cause you couldn't reach an agreement 2 month before the deadline is asinine.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
