For those of you wanting to cut Josh Norman...

Yes PT you're blind, the kid is a great CB for the round we took him in.

Stop judging him on where he was drafted and start judging him as a starter and your opinion might change. Do we judge Tom Brady on a 6th round pick scale? Or do we judge him on the Peyton Manning scale?

Not only has Norman been great against the run, he has also been effective against the pass.

Norman's six passes defended tie him for sixth among rookie defensive backs. Once again, only high draft picks have exceeded his year-to-date production.

Most Passes Defended - Rookie Defensive Backs:

1) 11 - Stephon Gilmore, Buffalo Bills (1st Round)

2-T) 9 - Casey Hayward, Green Bay Packers (2nd Round)

2-T) 9 - Janoris Jenkins, St. Louis Rams (2nd Round)

4) 8 - Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings (1st Round)

5) 7 - Mark Barron, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1st Round)

6-T) 6 - Josh Norman, Carolina Panthers (5th Round)

The Tackling Machine

With data taken from football-reference, Norman's 52 tackles are the most among all rookie defensive backs this year:

Most Tackles - Rookie Defensive Backs:

1) 52 - Josh Norman, Carolina Panthers (5th Round)

2) 49 - Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings (1st Round)

3) 48 - Mark Barron, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1st Round)

4) 41 - Janoris Jenkins, St. Louis Rams (2nd Round)

5) 40 - Stephon Gilmore, Buffalo Bills (1st Round)

Easy to rack up tackles when you play ten yards of the receiver and have to make the tackle after he just caught another one on you. In zone coverage Norman disappears

Like I said I'd be surprised if he is a starter here next year. If he is I will personally buy you a Josh Norman jersey and stand in line at training camp for him to sign it. Deal?

Free Jersey ?

Sure.

I like no risk bets.

    • I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.
    • Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!
    • Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
