I see this as sending a message to Ricky Manning Jr.

I got this.  Few if any other did.  Kudos brah.

The Bradberry pick makes me think Giannis Antetokoumpo.  Everyone was all whodafug, when it turned out some team did a little extra research and landed the best player in the class at pick 15.  Which at the time 15 even seemed like a huge reach. Bobcats drafted Zeller at 4 that year.

Some people may love this, but this is a dumb move. 

The LAST thing a guy like this needs is fans building up expectations that he'll perform at or near the level of an All-Pro cornerback who just left the team. He needs to be allowed a chance to make rookie mistakes, and to develop into something special. Creating Norman comparisons right off the bat is not fair to the kid. Dumb, dumb, move.

Anyone who expects a rookie CB to perform at the level of his All-Pro predecessor simply because he wears the same jersey number is an idiot and should jump off the top of a building.

Montsta This place is sad. Has anyone noticed that the people who make the most incendiary, hateful, non-substantive comments seem to have the most pies. Go figure. Call someone an idiot without any substance. Pie for you! Tell someone to commit suicide. More pie!

Giving the kid Norman's number invites comparisons. Hell, when we reached for the pick, half the people on this forum compared him to Norman. Go back and look at the thread. If you deny that, fine... But you're wrong.

I wasn't calling you an idiot or directing my remark at you at all. 

It was a generalized statement and if you were offended by it I apologize. 

Saying there could be comparisons is one thing. Expecting him to be as great as Josh because he was drafted a couple weeks after Josh left and he was given his number is something else entirely.

I have more faith in this team to be that petty. FFS this happened 2 weeks ago. And if anyone is expecting Bradberry to jump right in and play as well as Josh did last year, they're smoking that crack crack.

You are talking about Gettleman. He is that petty.

No need to panic... after exhaustive research into the issue... turns out the number 24 is an actual number, wasn't retired by the Panthers and was available for immediate re-use.  

Furthermore, double blind testing at our labs indicates the number 24 does not possess magical powers to improve or hinder any DB's game performance, despite beliefs to the contrary by some of the fanatics here.

Bottom Line:  There is no need to panic, that is all.

the only non-retired number that's off limits is 89...

 

I said it. Go debate your uncle that could've gone pro if he wanted...
