Is Eric Norwood A Bust?

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

i knew several people who were very high on him coming out.

i know he hasn't done a lot in our pass rush packages but does he at least pull his own weight on special teams? i don't know because i tend to cover my eyes when our punt/kickoff teams are on the field.

nm answered my own question.

4th round and below cannot bust. To be a bust there must be high expectations.

Person tweeting he's just not making the transition to the pros well. Take that however you will.

[EMSMedic79]

He gave it a good shot...I hope he can figure it out before he gets the axe.

I didn't understand the pick when it happened unless we were going to use multiple sets because he isn't a 4-3 player. I'd love to use some of the pass rush specialists we have in different sets it just seems like we draft these guys and expect them to be something theyre not and we throw them away...Norwood could be utilized in te right defense.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I thought he was supposed to be a pass rush specialist of some sort? Didn't he do that at Carolina?

[Stroupe-a-loop]

He's been a backup for a couple season and that's what you get out of most fourth rounders, so no, not a bust.

[Jackofalltrades]

I think this is the year to find out...if he makes the 53. 3rd season is usually the make or break point in ones career. You also have to consider he wasn't a Rivera pick.

More than likely the same question will be asked about this years 4th rounders in a season or two.

[mountainpantherfan]

4th rounders are not able to be busts.

Well, not every GM is intelligent enough to take a developmental backup quarterback in the fourth round. Gamechanger.

[panther4life]

Every player after the first 3 rounds has holes to their games and should not be counted on as anything special. Calling him a bust just belittles the word bust.A better question would have been is he worthy of being on the final 53 next year and the answer is no.

All 4th rounders are developmental.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

All 4th rounders are developmental.

Quite true. And the Kirk Cousins cat might develop into a decent backup. With time. He certainly isn't one right now.
