Is Eric Norwood A Bust?

[heyyall]

He's done pretty much nothing since he's been drafted, and was inactive a number of games last year. I don't expect him to even make it out of the preseason if he doesn't show Rivera something, is he a bust?

[Panthro]

Can a 4th Rder be a bust or someone who just didn't pan out

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Yeah failed mid rounders aren't thought of as busts just players who didn't pan out.

If he doesn't switch back to LB he won't make the team.

Some times it takes little while to get whats going on. Lets hope the light bulb goes off this year and we get to see what Norwood

means to the Panthers.

GOOOOO ERIC!!!!!

GOOOOO Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Argus Plexus]

Yes, bust

[Doyle]

He passed me on Tryon on my way to the Atlanta game. It was like 11:30 and dude wasn't even at the stadium yet.

[La Pantera]

Think he should move back to LBer, dont think he'll pan out at DE. I think he is best suited as a 3-4 OLB.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

a bust is a player that doesn't pan out

lower expectations for a mid rounder but if you can't even make the active roster then you're a bust regardless of round

[megadeth078]

calling mid rounders busts? running out of troll ideas, heyyall?

[Guest Bwood]

I think a bust is someone that experts and scouts have a high expectation for and then they don't meet those expectations.

For a guy like Norwood to get drafted in the middle rounds and then be converted to DE, that's more of a coaches/personal problem for not being able to help the guy pan out.

I like him b/c he's from South Carolina but as of yet he haven't yet found a spot on the field. I don't think that he has the speed to get on the field and question wether or not he's going to make the 53.

[Woodcookedbbq]

Yes, he's a bust. He's had absolutely no impact on this team and if he don't tighten up, I bet he's going to be released after training camp.

Unfortunately for tweeners, they are tweeners...no one can truely figure out where they fit. He may not work out, but he was worth a shot. Like many have said, a 4th rdr is not a bust per se, just didn't work out the way they thought. This pre-season is make or break for him I think, IF Alexander works out he's even at a higher risk.

Consistently missing in the 4th - 7th will end up seriously hurting the team tho.
