Josh Norman would have made a huge difference

[Fox007]

I don't wanna hear poo about Norman when a rookie slow white ass Full Back on his first carry went 28 yards for a TD on us on a critical 3rd down.

Our supposed strength looks to be in shambles.. did the KK situation hurt us? contract thoughts instead of game thoughts? dunno but the DL was bullshit but the LBs made all the plays.

It's time to log off. This gem here is funny.

do you think that Norman wasn't a good tackler? i don't actually give a poo that he's not on the team, i don't agree with the premise of this thread, but Boston was bouncing off of guys left and right.

I don't know man, I'm pretty sure since we play Cover 3 we can put anyone back there and our elite passrush will do the rest. We just picked another DT in the first, and that should keep our pass rush nice and fresh so we can really get after the QB.

I think the huddle should institute a 24 hour ban on all thread creation following a game. Neither of the Denver receivers had more than 50 yards receiving.

The issue from this game was the run defense. Not the pass. Jesus.

Do you think maybe the Panthers would have been able to draft better talent at DE or S if they hadn't used the 2, 3, 4, and 5th round picks to draft defensive backs? I mean what if the Panthers took Cravens in the first, and then looked into better rotational DE's instead of going with Butler, and then going pure need for most of the draft? I like Butler though, so maybe we kept Butler as the pick, but instead traded up for more DE talent.

Keeping Norman would have helped fill holes elsewhere is what I'm trying to say.

He really would have stuffed that run for sure. 

Norman was actually pretty useful against the run. Bradberry wasn't horredous, but he missed a couple tackles that let to very big runs. Having said that, what if instead of spending our 2,3,4,5th round picks on CB's we signed Norman (or tagged), and instead went for DE and S?

I'm pretty sure Josh played in the Super Bowl.

Josh was a very big piece of getting us to the Super Bowl... I don't know what you're trying to say.

Forgot Josh played Safety. 

No, but I bet the picks the Panthers used to fill his void would have.

Josh Norman would have been great at DE and DT today.... He also would have nailed it being RT

Why does no one realize that Norman not being on the field this year isn't nearly as big of a factor as the hole he created when leaving. One that we'll probably need another year to correct.

Poor dline play, gaps not being filled and no pass rush is at fault.
Delaire doing a tango instead of providing run support doesn't help. They wouldn't be throwing Normans way regardless. The rookies get the workout.

He's also a rookie... seriously.. a rookie. He got torched a few times tonight, but overall, his play was better than I was expecting from a rookie CB in his first game, against the SB champs on primetime.

 

Once more.. he's a rookie guys. He'll grow and learn throughout this season. Just like Smitty going stung a bit, eventually most of us got over it, and Norman's exit will eventually be forgotten once the new 24 gets up to speed.

Never liked the ideal of starting rookies.....unless they are name Marcus peters, which is rare. Hardest position besides qb, rookie CB's should be eased in....
