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

    • He's turned into quite a gunslinger
    • Hey guys, remember when we won those meaningless games in 2010 and it cost us the #1 pick and the chance to draft Cam? Oh.... right I get that's more of an extreme example because it got us a HOF caliber QB.  But it's the general concept, you want to win late season games when you have the pieces in place to make a run the next season, we currently are not in that place. Herbert and Sewell are the ones I point to so much, because we literally lost out on 2 franchise different makers by 1 draft slot.  Give us those two players while we still have CMC, Moore, and the rest of the picks we gave up for Bryce, and we'd have been a legit playoff contender the last few years. Draft position matters in the NFL more than any other sport (other than the #1 pick in the NBA in a year with a generational talent).
    • It’s so crazy. If we had a shot for pick 1 and there was some generational player there then yeah maybe I could get behind the draft position argument. I’d say most GMs and coaches aren’t diving into the draft right now. They are trying to win games.
