Norwood will prove to be an excellent addition

[top dawg]

He did catch with his hands like a boss but we may need to slow our roll just a bit.  You guys gonna be OK if he doesn't make it through cuts?  Just sayin'.

The receiver made an impression upon Proehl last year when being worked out. Ron and especially Dave have said how smart Norwood is, and he is being taught all the positions.  There is absolutely no way that Norwood is going to be cut. Gettleman didn't trade for a guy on Tuesday to check him out for a couple of days just to cut him. Gman and company saw something in Norwood, and a lot of us saw something tonight.

[WOW!!]

He already catches better than Philly and is faster and run routes better than Bersin.. Plus he adds the ability of being a gunner on special teams. . 

 

He learns the playbook and he jumps Brown and Bersin on the depth chart...imo

You didn't follow last year's draft did you?

Gettleman has proven that he will use draft picks as trade bait in order to move up and take a player that he values. That isn't necessarily throwing them away, and is certainly not throwing them away from his perspective.  He gambled on a low round draft pick (some people here are saying a 7th) because he feels very strongly that Norwood offers great value and has skills that we need. Gettleman makes moves that are well-thought-out, not moves out of desperation. I don't believe that he is just kicking the tires on this one.

Saw Norwood have a nice downfield block on a big run too.

Gettleman has proven that he will use draft picks as trade bait in order to move up and take a player that he values. That isn't necessarily throwing them away, and is certainly not throwing them away from his perspective.  He gave up (as of now) an undisclosed draft pick in order to acquire Norwood before he hit the market. That, in and of itself, should tell you that he feels very strongly that Norwood offers great value and has skills that we need. Gettleman makes moves that are well-thought-out, not moves out of desperation. 

I agree with you that there's no way we're cutting him and that we're extremely high on him, BUT if we cut him we wouldn't have traded anything. It's a conditional pick, and we obviously don't know the conditions but I guarantee you they get nothing if we cut him during final cuts. Not happening, but just saying we wouldn't be giving away a draft pick.

[WOW!!]

Saw Norwood have a nice downfield block on a big run toBersin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes this also.. He Is a better blocker than Brown and BBersin. .He may be the best down field blocker next to Funch in the WR corp

[Malt Liquor]

Norwood can ball. I can see it.

[TheMaulClaw]

I think it's pretty fair to say that he's making the team given his performance tonight.

Just watched the game again, and his catches were great, but I was even more impressed with his blocking. He had many of them resulting in extra yards! Go watch the tape again if you can and enjoy it.

Strong, reliable hands, attacks the ball, great blocks - this guy is a perfect Panther WR fit.

Yeah, yeah preseason i know - but add to it, that he doesn't fully know our playbook yet. This dude is good...

If you don't block downfield at Bama, you don't play.  Saban takes his running game seriously.

[juliosantos]

Norwood had some nice catches . Like what I saw for the most part with funchess . His drop was a bad pass by da even though kelvin would have had it

[Guest]

With the likely top three names on the depth chart being Funchess, Ginn, and Cotchery. There is no reason why Norwood couldn't land fourth on the depth chart, since his competition hasn't really stood out this preseason as anything above average. And over the course of the season he could be a productive option. Good route runner, good hands, and a good blocker. The kids talented and hopefully he makes the roster.

Thank you for saying it. He doesn't cost us anything if we cut him. Not saying we will but we are free and clear from the trade if he doesn't make the roster.

At least that's my understanding of conditional picks. And I read that it was a confirmed 7th round conditional in 2017.
