Would you rather.. Extend Norman or sign a FA WR

[PanthersUnited]

Frankly, while I love Norman this one is a no brainier for me. I would rather sign a WR. Enough is enough, we have to get some stud WRs, I know I know "build through the draft, re sign core players, rinse and repeat." While yes you build your core through the draft I'm also a believer you have to be somewhat active in FA when you are at the point we are, which is close to the top.

When you are a young team and still in full rebuild phase, then yes, you can ignore FA and build through the draft, but that's not us anymore.

With the money Norman would command I feel we could sign a upper mid level FA WR instead. After seeing our sorry WRs yesterday, we have to get some help.

Depends on what is available.  Norman probably earned about 75% of the victory by himself yesterday.  But how often does that actually happen that a defensive player wins you the game?  Odds are in favor of teams that can score points.  WRs tend to score more than CBs.  Depending on the value, I'd take the WR.

Honestly, let's play another 15 games and hopefully playoffs before we discuss what we do with Norman or a WR.

Knee jerk reactions rarely work out in the world of sports.

After one game?  Way to early dude.

Ah good, I was wondering when the first Panther United thread of the day would be.

[panthers34]

Benji Funchess Olsen and hopefully a mid round rookie or a mid level free agent would be more than enough weapons for Cam 

[Ricky Spanish]

Even if we sign a WR it's not like Shula would know what to do with him. 

At least McDermott knows how to use Norman.

Let's see what Funchess and Norwood can do, that is if the coaching staff wise up and stop playing around.  No way on earth should our starting receivers be Philly Brown and Ted Ginn.  Yet like I said elsewhere, Ted Ginn would make a great number 3 receiver going deep for touchdowns.

Absolutely 100% Norman. 

1. KB will be back next year and Funchess will finally have some playing time under his belt. Perhaps Norwood turns out to be a find and we may even draft another one.

2. Tillman isn't exactly a spring chicken and has a few years left at best. Imagine a future with the best LB corps possible with two shutdown corners in Bene and Norman. Spend one of the early picks net year on a Safety or bring someone in and we are again looking at an elite defense for years to come. 

 

Patience people. Good things take time.

I would rather talk about game #2. I'm sick of off season topics.
