Jags Fans Going IN On Andrew Norwell

The guy was an absolute beast here and was All Pro. Don’t know why it’s not working for the Jags but I don’t get why Panthers fans would then rip on or laugh at a former UDFA that played his ass off for us and then went to the AFC. It’s one thing if it’s like Klein going to a division rival but I always root for former Panthers to do well if they’re on an AFC team, unless it’s a guy like MeAngelo.

I loved Norwell, and I'm happy he got paid by an AFC team.

He hasn't been healthy, but he also hasn't lived up to his contract either 

Plus Addison is absolutely balling and at least deserves to be on the fringes of the Defensive Player of the Year conversation.

He is probably the most underrated Panther since Chris Gamble.

Could also have something to do with him playing in a different system.

Or maybe he just hot the wall. Hard to say...

Or it’s just a case of overpayment making him seem worse than he actually is there. From what I’ve read he’s actually been solid, just not highest paid guard good. I’d take him back in a heartbeat for a reasonable deal if they were to release him in a year or something.

i remember rivera saying norwell was almost cut as a rookie since he was so terrible in practice. but the OL was in shambles and when he got a chance to practice with the 1s, he looked much better.

maybe he was just a product of our system and learning from ryan kalil and trai turner helped him out.

glad we paid turner instead of him (despite some inconsistencies and the annual missed game). clearly the better player.

Valid.

Sean Gilbert certainly wasn't a bad player. He just wasn't worth two first round picks.

      The running back situation....

      I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.

      I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
