Ok maybe im blind but Josh Norman is nearly always getting burned, has dropped some easy picks and always seems to be yards away from his man. Josh Norman is another prime example of when fans of teams severly overrate their players

What rookie (or vet, for that matter) hasn't been burned?

The jury is still out on Norman. With his attitude and work ethic, it seems to me like he would be a player that any fan would root for. It's certainly "severely" premature to call him a bust in the purest sense of the word. Being that he was a late round pick, from a football perspective, you really can't call him a bust at all. He, like most, needs time to progress, but it's not like he isn't showing some promise (IMHO).

BTW, I haven't seen him drop any "easy" picks.

I agree with you but I'm not as high on him as most. You can't teach speed. He try's to hide it by playing off. Which killed us against the giants and allowed the bears to run the same slant all the way down the field.

I want him to succeed, I want every Panther to be great.

I think his popularity is based on the one play he made at fan fest and his trash talk. Without those two things he's quite Nakamura-esque

Not really.....Nakamura is a physically limited vet.

Norman has great athletic ability and is a rookie.

Yeah, Norman likes great speed but athletically he is a beast.

I must admit, I haven't really judged him from the perspective of lacking speed, but I will pay closer attention now that you mentioned it. I thought the playing off thing was due t coaching and/or inexperience. Compensating for a lack of speed? Hmm? Perhaps. Notwithstanding that possibility, distances and angles do come with experience. Just food for thought.

It's December, the team has three wins, the GM has been fired, the special teams coach has been fired, the head coach will be fired....do you want ass sunshine or to discuss the realities surrounding the situation? You guys can pretend all you want but Norman is not a bright spot. Maybe he can get there and he should be given the opportunity....and he will.

I never pretended anything. You didn't answer my question.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
