Who's better than Norman?

6 catches for 59 yards last time (less than ten yards per catch) on 11 targets isn't enough proof? Plus on top of that hes less healthy than last time?

MJ had the flu and went ham when he was in the NBA? JJ could light up Norman as easy as Norman can eliminate the threat of JJ. I have rational expectations. One game is such a small sample and very inadequate in use for defense. I love Norman's passion and gameplay. All I ask is stand back and wait for the results. Read up on the Law of Small Numbers.

For a second, let's disregard his occasional idiotic mistakes. Speaking purely in terms of being a cover corner, who is better right now than Norman? I would say Sherman, Revis, Peterson, and (maybe) Talib. Anyone else?

This can't be serious? You think maybe their are only 3 better CBs?

Man, a couple good games against bad teams really change perspectives. Suddenly we have no OL issues and a shutdown CB...I guess Ron is a good HC too now

Norman has been a shutdown corner this entire year when healthy as starter, and against really good receivers. I wouldn't call him a top 10 corner YET but if we're only taking into account the past month or so he's easily been a top 5 corner.

Who have we played this past month?

Saints suck. Bucs suck. Browns suck.

Oh, Teddy Bridgewater and his all star WRs?

Look, Norman is making improvements. That is good. I acknowledge that. But people are drastically jumping the gun on him.

In the NFC South alone I would put Keenan Lewis and Desmond Trufant above him right now.

 

I'm a big Norman supporter but he has just now (meaning the 2nd half of the year) started to look like a starting caliber CB.  

 

He did a good job against Julio the first time and has done well against Evans, Gordon, and Patterson, but I would think Norman is just now getting on an offensive coordinator's radar in terms of trying to alter anything to exploit his weaknesses.

 

I want nothing more than to have Norman and Benwiekere be our starting CB unit for a few years to come, but it is way too early to crown Norman anything.

 

Our standard for good CB play has fallen so far since the days of Gamble/ Lucas when they were in their prime that we get excited over anything

      It doesn't matter if you give him a new WR1. To do it you have to devoted MORE resources to him. At some point you have to stop or there's nothing left for the defense. Our defense looks like scrubs because that's what we've got because we've spent a shitload on offense. He got a 1st round WR and a shiny new RB in round 2.  Bryce had a couple of good games but we are not competing against the Chiefs or Eagles. They're headed to the playoffs with realistic SB aspirations and we're headed to a top 10 pick. Those teams have competed for an entire season where the Panthers have ummm... They've almost gotten to as many wins as Matt Rhule in a season.  Would you rather have Bryce or Lamar? Because we've spent more on Bryce and to build around him than what it would have cost to trade for Lamar.  This team can't get better when it's having to devote everything to making it possible for our #1 QB god to play average NFL football.  I may end up being wrong and Bryce may become the GOAT. But one thing you won't see me doing is flip flopping on where I stand every couple of weeks because he has good or bad games. I think Bryce is our version of Daniel Jones and I think we're going to fug ourselves pretending he's Pat Mahomes.
