Hindsight being 20/20 and all, I wish we had let both him and Trai walk.

Pay tackles, draft guards.

I'd have kept him over Trai, honestly.

Honestly weird how much he regressed. From what I’ve seen and heard he’s been quite bad.

Tbh that says a lot more about our o-line coach than anything.

Or our system.

Hackett is a name I typically associate with WCO attacks that typically employ zone and cut style blocking. Norwell might not have been a good fit.

If you look at our offensive production this season I think we made the right decision to let him go. Having him here would not have made the offense any better. Cam is having a great year throwing the ball and Christian could possibly go over 1,000 yds rushing and receiving.

 Retaining him only would have served to tie up a large percentage of our cap at both guard positions. With Ryan K leaving at the end of season (and brother Matt possibly being released) we can use that money to sign/or draft players to play C, T, or better yet, find some players on defense.

I doubt it has anything to do with our coaching or scheme.

Guy got paid and said fug it. It’s why like 50% of big money free agent signings end up being busts. 

Look at Trai and KK. Neither one has played as well as they did the season before they got paid. I don’t think it’s coincidence.

Andrew Norwell is having his first season in Jacksonville cut short. He's out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.

 

 

 

Boy do I wish he was still here.

But we get Trai Turner. Another example of our FO’s poor talent evaluation skills. Another example, Kk Vs. Star.

That was never going to happen, Trai flashed first and is younger. 

Norwell definitely sustained a higher level of play but they both always graded highly and the regime felt the could replace Norwell. 

And since he hasn't lived up to his new contract we'll never know if it's him being comfortable after being paid or he knows Bortles sucks and isn't motivated anymore.

Norwell was playing very well before the injury, not sure what you people are talking about... Not as good as he was last year but last year he was insanely good. Was still one of the few bright spots on the Jags' offense.

It's an unfair knock but if you're getting paid the most at a position(top 2) people expect for you to play like the best or top two in the league.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
