What happened to him?

I know he had a couple rough weeks and agree with is benching, but is there no place on the field for him currently?

Moving forward, would a transition to safety make sense. He lacks speed but seems to be instinctive and is a solid tackler.

Yeah, just saw that.

Some good points. I just didn't see enough bad to warrant a benching. Even in poor play, I think he's outplayed Thomas.

However, we are winning games since the move so what do I know

I have yet to see Thomas play soft, he covers his players a hell of a lot better than Norman. Norman plays off of every single WR he faces by about 7-10 yards and has given up to many big plays to warrant not being benched long ago. Thomas, Captian and Campbell has out played him and deserve to play over Norman.

Ohh my damn. Josh Thomas has played outstanding, not outstanding for a scrap heap scrub, just outstanding.

The old doghouse theory just does't hold water most of the time. Players are graded on every play every week in games and in practice. If a guy isn't playing it is because he is not grading out the best at hat position, plain and simple. Norman was playing ff his man and making mistakes. Since he was benched the secondary has improved. Frankly the guys who have come in are hungry and aggressive. They deserve to play over Norman.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
