Norman is a guy who can start day 1? That's almost as funny as Hurney ignoring our DT situation.

We drafted 2 defensive tackles just one year ago, nobodys ignoring anything. Since when was it the expectation that rookies will come in and be stars from day 1? Clearly the coaching staff sees something in these guys and I'm willing to take their word over yours. Not saying that the guys we have are the next coming of Warren Sapp, but I'm not gonna give up on them yet.

Norman won't be able to start right away and Hogan is basically a rookie as well.

Like you, I have serious doubts that Norman can start. However, I would rather see an unproven Hogan, or Butler, or maybe even Norman, than to sit through another season of Captain as our number 2.

If I'm an opposing QB, I would throw at Captain all day. Chances are very good it will either be a reception or a penalty in your favor, and the chances of interception are minimal.

Norman and Hogan can certainly start.

Capt was down right TERRIBLE last year.

Even if Hogan and Norman stink it up, it cant be any worse than Capt!

We did improve ST's quite a bit.

I'm "cautiously optimistic" about our situation at DT.

Norman will be the starter come game 1 unless Hogan beats him out cause we all know Cap Not.

something like 70+ % of 5th rounders are complete busts meaning they don't make it at all in the NFL even as backups. so yeah not only is it completely possible that norman is worse than captain it's actually likely

Your argument would be more compelling if Captain wasn't a 7th round pick.

It is not that Norman is going to come in and set the world on fire, or that Hogan will look like a polished player in his 2nd year, or even that Butler will suddenly play up to his potential. The point is, it would be very difficult to play worse than Munnerlyn.

Start Butler or start Hogan, but keep Captain out of the defensive backfield at all costs. Just one man's opinion.

wasnt Capt a 6-7th rounder? which is lower than Norman.....

trust me bro. it is impossible for Norman or Hogan to be worse than Capt.

almost every ball thrown at Capt resulted in a completion.

they can be as bad, but not worse

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
