Sounds like he's letting everyone know not to ride the kid's coattails too hard just yet.

Smith had a couple more words Friday when asked about Norman's competitiveness.

“For a young guy, he's coming out and he's playing well. But as far as how much swagger and he loves to compete, I look at it like all the other veterans – May and June you just kind of cruise a little bit just to get through,” Smith said during a break at his camp.

“Once late July, August comes, he's going to learn very quickly this isn't Coastal Carolina,” Smith added. “I look forward to camp. I hope he looks forward to camp, just like all the other DBs because the first week is never a good day for them when we've got this offense with Chud (offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski). It's going to be early and often and real quick.”

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      At this point, I'm not sure we even practice at all with how unprepared we look most weeks... I think DC just gives them a "victory week" where they can all play Madden then show up Sunday morning and go through the motions

      Yeah. I distinctly remember being apoplectic watching his first game vs Atlanta in 2023.  His lack of urgency on the drop and in general, and the lack of downfield throws were the two primary motivators for that.  I was against it but the hype on this board was so great, you couldn’t question him. Post draft, camp, preseason.    I had held my tongue until I saw him on the field in a real NFL game. Boy oh boy, total confirmation he was a huge mistake.   It hasn’t changed much. he hits a lick occasionally where he does well but it flatlines again pretty quickly. The best memory of him that I have is that TD he threw where he knew it was good and turned around and didn’t watch it get caught. That is his high point.  It was so good that a lot of people lived on it and are still living on it.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Panthers QB situation

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Pass on Geno... we don't need another QB that only throws checkdowns. Jameis is the answer - the dude is capable of making throws that the best QBs can make. He just has a Madden awareness rating of 4... At least with Jameis, we can gauge how good our receivers/TEs are and know what we need in those respective parts (like is Coker a legit 3rd receiver, can XL look good with any other QB, etc.). Stidham would be another QB I'm curious about also
