Pat Yas discusses Josh Normans performance so far. Says he's getting a lot of attention from the vets and they are very excited for him.

This would boost the defense and it would allow Captain Munnerlyn to move to the inside according to Pat.

Good news to hear. I hope he learns and soaks everything up to be ready to go by week one and be the #2 Corner.

Norman is hands down our 2nd best corner (all things considered)

I just hope he learns enough for the coaching staff to put im out there on week 1.

We're all pulling for Norman but for u to call him our second best corner right now is absurd.

a huge part of playing CB is jamming receivers on the line and playing the run. both of these things involve contact, which is forbidden in minicamp by the new CBA. we have reason to be excited for sure but going overboard before training camp isn't very prudent.

Gamble isn't exactly exceptional at tackling or hitting. He contains pretty well. His man to man coverage skills are rediculous. We need another cover corner, whether they play every down or not, to deal with guys like julio jones, mike williams (gamble gets vjax), and anyone drew brees wants to throw to.

i really hope that between him, hogan, butler, and even the capt our secondary is the best it's ever been and that gamble has lots of help on the rest of the field.

i'm really excited about this crop of CBs, esp. with wilks coaching them. it should be muuuuch better than we've been used to for years.

It has to be between Hogan, Butler and Mr Norman. There's no one else. I love Cap to death, but he's just a very formidable Nickleback. That's where he shines.

Norman has the skills you can't teach, Height and instinct. Hogan has that too. He also has more experience. I'm rooting for Norman but ultimately I believe hogan will win this battle in the end.

yeah, i've got no idea who wins it. i don't really care nor do i have a favorite. i just believe we'll have a much improved secondary and that the job will get done.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Panthering · Posted

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
