I was not a huge Gettleman fan, but unlike a lot of our fan base, I was not too upset when he didn't gift Norman a huge deal.  Why?  Norman was a system guy.  He fit this system well...and need I remind you all even struggled (benched on occasion) as he was trying to grasp our zone concept.  The problem, as it always has been, this front office is slow to replace key pieces until it'a SO obvious that there is a deficiency.

Gettleman should not have rescinded the franchise tag. That was foolish managing.

Yet, he's a healthy scratch today?  Josh has not lived up to his deal in Washington.  He's flashed here and there, but in no way has shown he deserved #1 corner money.

That was 2016. Norman has now passed his prime. We should have kept him for one year (2016) and made another Super Bowl run.

He balled out for about a season and a half and got a mega deal.  Not bad for a dude from a school that's basically an open date for App State every year.

As with many NFL players--He balled out in a contract year.  You have to be leery of player that only show up in contract years.  Heck all of a sudden Vernon Butler doesn't suck after four years of warming the bench. Oh! Contract year...

Agreed, at a minimum we should have kept him that year so we could develop our young CBs instead of throwing all rookies on the field and expecting it to play out well.

Imagine Bradberry and Norman in 2016 instead of a secondary made up of rookies.

The refs letting Cam get murdered on the field, Kelvin Benjamin not giving a fug, and Michael Oher suffering a career-ending concussion are the main factors that undid that season.  Just adding Josh Norman to that doesn't get us to playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl.

No way he was worth that contract, but I don’t know if he was ever a good fit with the defense they play in Washington. He was the 69th ranked cb last year alone and is still one of the highest paid in the league. It makes me wonder what type of contract Bradberry will get this offseason.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
