Pat Yas discusses Josh Normans performance so far. Says he's getting a lot of attention from the vets and they are very excited for him.

This would boost the defense and it would allow Captain Munnerlyn to move to the inside according to Pat.

Good news to hear. I hope he learns and soaks everything up to be ready to go by week one and be the #2 Corner.

Norman is hands down our 2nd best corner (all things considered)

I just hope he learns enough for the coaching staff to put im out there on week 1.

We're all pulling for Norman but for u to call him our second best corner right now is absurd.

a huge part of playing CB is jamming receivers on the line and playing the run. both of these things involve contact, which is forbidden in minicamp by the new CBA. we have reason to be excited for sure but going overboard before training camp isn't very prudent.

Gamble isn't exactly exceptional at tackling or hitting. He contains pretty well. His man to man coverage skills are rediculous. We need another cover corner, whether they play every down or not, to deal with guys like julio jones, mike williams (gamble gets vjax), and anyone drew brees wants to throw to.

i really hope that between him, hogan, butler, and even the capt our secondary is the best it's ever been and that gamble has lots of help on the rest of the field.

i'm really excited about this crop of CBs, esp. with wilks coaching them. it should be muuuuch better than we've been used to for years.

It has to be between Hogan, Butler and Mr Norman. There's no one else. I love Cap to death, but he's just a very formidable Nickleback. That's where he shines.

Norman has the skills you can't teach, Height and instinct. Hogan has that too. He also has more experience. I'm rooting for Norman but ultimately I believe hogan will win this battle in the end.

yeah, i've got no idea who wins it. i don't really care nor do i have a favorite. i just believe we'll have a much improved secondary and that the job will get done.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
