Since we tendered Andrew Norwell, I have seen a lot of Huddlers undervalue Norwell and his importance to the team.

Just remember the days we had Chandler, Amini, & Wharton these guys stopped us from winning the 49rs playoff game with multiple goal-line situation where they got stonewalled and left 14 pts off the board.

When you identity is defense and running the ball 50% of the time your gonna need elite interior to win in the playoffs.

Either you pay for the interior or you pay franchise tackles which we don't have or value as much.

Offense: Andrew Norwell, 85.1

 

Norwell, who will become a restricted free agent this offseason, turned in yet another impressive outing. In addition to Saturday’s performance, the third-year hog molly has received praise throughout the season from PFF, ranking 11th amongst all NFL guards coming into Week 15.

He’s also joined by fellow guard and fellow soon-to-be free agent Trai Turner, the Panthers’ second-best offensive player on the day (81.2). Rounding out the top-five for Carolina was left tackle Mike Remmers (80.3), wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (74.5) and running back Fozzy Whittaker (71.9)

Quarterback Cam Newton, despite solid grades by three of his linemen, chalked himself up a nasty 37.5 mark. The reigning MVP completed just 18-of-43 throws for 198 yards and one touchdown with a pair of interceptions. As noted by Jordan Plocher of PFF, Newton folded in 14 plays under pressure, notching a 0.0 NFL QB rating in such instances.

Norwell is a very good guard, and I want to keep him.  But if he thinks he's worth Trai money....well...every year there are tons of good OTs who become better OGs from college to pros....  This year is no exception.

He is and he should get paid like a top 10 Guard. We are building the OL similar to the Saints where the interior is more important.

$4-5 million a year? keep.

Otherwise, hope someone makes him an offer and we pick up a 2nd.

Unless your picking in 1st round its hard to get a elite guard.

Trai was projected to be 1st round we got lucky he came out early.

I'm not looking for every player to be pro bowl quality, but he's been a good and consistent start and you keep those, as long as he doesn't ask for crazy money I say we pay to keep him

Today's 5th round and beyond tackles end up being next year's starting guards.

Norwell was an undrafted guard, and according to some he's now like top 5 in the league, lol.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
