is josh norman just to slow to get it done?

[SuperMan]

True but if a player has it, they have it. It doesn't taking conditioning to change a player. Beason was a beast the second he step foot on the field. I remembered how well he played vs the Vikings and AP.

Im not ruling out Kuechly yet but the man has to show more than what he has shown. Being the 9th pick, he has to be better than Beason and be the next Urlacher. He can't be a Barrett Rudd or Stewart Bradley.

Thats funny because the majority of Beasons tackles he had his rookie year were downfeild,

Keuchly needs to be on the field and in his proper postion.

Except for when he annihilates screens right??

If you want to settle with a 9th overall pick being able to annihilates screens only then it's up to you.

Lb is probably the easiest position for a rookie to come in and make a huge impact. He hasn't shown anything since week 1. When you're drafted that high, you should be able to do more. It's not like Kuechly was a raw type of player when he came out. It's not like a Amini pick where he is raw but has the potential to be great. You knew exactly who and what Kuechly was when you took him. He hasn't shown that on a NFL field yet.

I dnt wanna see Luke at MLB yet. He has a hard time getting off blocks playing an OLB position, what makes you think he can get off more blocks playing Mike when more centers and fullbacks are going to come right at him.

[Way Truth Life]

I have a suggestion. Purchase this and watch 24 play. I have watched the games 3 and 4 times. 24 is getting eaten alive and EVERY team throws directly at him. Furthermore, he plays right on the line in an attempt to get physical with the WR, but 3/4 of the time the WR blows right by him and is behind him within 5 yards. That is simply unacceptable. He may become an amazing corner, but why should we be training the guy on the field while the team suffers? 43 is clearly not getting the job done either and 30 is looking better only because 43 sucks so bad....the right side of our backfield gets killed in the Atlanta game and I mean killed! Watch the rewind please before you continue with the 24 is serviceable BS!

Can't you people be happy with anything? We could have landed Revis in a trade and if he didn't have any picks there would be a thread saying how bad he is... Smdh its this very fanbase that over exaggerates everything to seem a lot worse then it is.

Contradictory reports on coverage....

http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?page=impressions121001

...it looked as if the Panthers were sending safety help Jones' way for much of the afternoon, and Roddy White was eating up single coverage, usually against Chris Gamble (but sometimes, unfortunately for Carolina, against Josh Norman). The result? White wound up with 169 yards and two TDs, and Jones had three targets, one catch and 30 yards. If the Jones owner in your league chooses to panic, by all means swoop in. These WRs will go back and forth all season.

Just to add fuel to the fire...though the writer admits to not have reviewing the game film yet.

[Upper Deck West End Zone]

I'm sorry but against the run, I have not seen Norman tackle well.

[Yaboychris28]

Julio has 30 yards on 1 catch

Someone's slow not sure it's him though

Did you even watch the game? Gamble was matched on Julio 95% of the time.. not Norman

[AceBoogie]

I'm sorry it's about time somebody says it Josh Norman has been a liability. Your not watching the games if you think he's not if Eli Manning laughed and joked about targeting 24 all game. It's becoming a trend so what he's a 5th round pick more importantly he is a starter the sad thing is that he might be the best option we have. Trading for Asante Samuel in the offseason is a move we should have made. I'm not saying bench Norman because he shows flashes but no doubt he's a target and weakness in our defense.

[Peppers90 NC]

not buying it. don't really care about his straight line speed, more about quickness and reactions and tackling, which he has displayed at a high level considering a rookie 5th rounder from Coastal Car.

[AceBoogie]

I'm just saying Norman came from the same place as the Replacement refs and nobody gave them a pass

They let Beason play MLB and every down....once Morgan got hurt.

Beason is simply a liability and getting reps Luke should.

Luke needs the chance. He shows the great instincts that make a play sniffing machine....did it again Sunday.

I Dno. It mightve just been me but most if the times I saw Kuechly getting block.

I love Kuechly but the man has to start showing up on plays more.

He is showing a lot....and doing so in limited reps.

Marty paid Beason and Anderson nice money....and those contracts IMO are keeping those 2 on the field
