My phone is being stupid and wont let me past but this is per ESPN, those our are starters for this Sunday. So we sign a pro bowler SS just to be a back up. Genius! We have a CB that led the pre season in picks and we bench him. GENIUS!

 

Calm down. Who the starters are on the defense is pretty meaningless as much as everyone rotates in and out.

Don't understand putting Norman on the bench unless they think he is just too much of a gambler on a play to play basis. Seattle is a big play/play action team. If Norman tries to jump a few play action routes and they lead to TDs then it puts our offense in a bad situation against a front 7 that LOVES to play downhill. Wilson isnt going to throw picks...he just doesn't do it. Never did it in college, didn't do it last year as a rookie. The best way to limit Seattle is to be solid tacklers and to force them to go 3 and out.

 

If we were playing the Cowboys and you could count on a few errant throws from Romo then I'd say start Norman...but Wilson is too disciplined. Start whoever is most fundamentally sound.

Mikell needs to get in football shape before he can be labeled a starter. You don't just walk on to week 1 and start a full game after missing all TC and preseason work.

Wharton was signed as depth and to start if poo gets ugly.

Norman? He will essentially start in nickel and dime looks

Those guys came on late as opposed to being in camp and preseason. They will still play and rotate in so what is the problem?

Remember Mikell was on his couch for 31 other teams as well..gotta get him in playing shape first.

Norman will play as Captian moves to the nickle. Josh Thomas is a more consistant guy (as seen late last season). Norman, being a young guy needs to stay focused and hungry so...this is also a coaching/motivation technique.

Now if they are inactive you make this thread.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
