Josh Norman signs with Commanders

[Nightman]

Brandon Carr is just over 6 months older than Norman.

That should say it all.

So what?

Carr stinks and Norman is All Pro

Read it wrong. 18 months older. Bit still difference in time for a conceivably young and ascending player vs. a probably peaked player.

Because you pay for what a player will do. Not what he has done.

And when you pay age at a skill position you usually regret it.

They can't win on the facts so they have to ***** the truth to make their weak argument seem stronger.

The Commanders just got a lot better tonite.

Norman one big year: FACT
Norman benched in 2013: FACT
Norman still struggled beginning of 2014: FACT
Norman injury prone: FACT
Norman has bad attitude: FACT
Norman's first team no longer wanted him: FACT
Norman's big season came when everyone around him played well: FACT

Stop your whining all across this forum. Either present a solid counter-argument or go back to crying about RBs, which is all you've been doing for over a year now.

Then good thing for the Commanders he is 28 and in his prime.

 

[lwehlers]

you guys can talk about the dollar figure...but it still sux he's a skin.

I also feel this way. I hope the second and third receivers in our offense step up because dez is only going to catch 4 passes a game against norman. say what you want about norman he is great corner and very physical and that always gets to Bryant. we need butler and Williams to step up there game this year. also the giants better get better production out of their other receivers because he will give beckham fits.

Over the first 14 weeks of the season, Norman held DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, TY Hilton, Dez Bryant, and Julio Jones to a combined 9 receptions for 89 yards.

For the season, opposing quarterbacks had a passer rating of 54.0 when throwing at Norman, the lowest rating allowed by all NFL corners

Keep drinking that Kool Aid

My mistake, read it wrong.

It's a joke. Just when I was worried DC had figured out how to build a team, Snyder joins NY and Philly in mortgaging the future. Regardless of how this season goes, if Jerry can just avoid losing his mind, we will have a chance to own the East in the future.

No, Norman isn't even close to the top CB in the NFL. He's much more comfortable in the zone scheme; Skins will ask him to play much more man to man. He will be a huge upgrade over what they had, true, but 50 mil guaranteed? They owe him 14-15 mil this year, yet they currently have only 11.4 mil. Restructures can cover that, but they also have to find millions to pay a draft class. They wanted Cousins to play on the franchise tag and prove he can do it two years in a row, but now they may have to sign him to a long term big contract to lower his hit this year. If Cousins returns to his previous years of crazy turnovers, this could be more fun than RGIII. Norman will be 29 before the season, and this was his breakout season, with a SB-bound defense that was sack crazy. He had a career high 4 ints, 16 passes defended, and 56 tackles in 16 games.

Yes, he will help the Skins secondary...no doubt. But that's his career year at 29 years old behind one of the top NFL pass rushes. This contract will exact a heavy toll that is highly unlikely to balance out with dividends.

And he had an elite front 7 in front of him

 

[casmith07]

The moves of our division rivals show you just how much they fear Dez.

Get your popcorn ready.

Yep

 

[Nova]

Well I was dead wrong.

I thought for sure thhe Commanders would have been smarter than this.

Or, ya know... Odell.

I saw this more of a jab at him.

Bad news for them though, Odell is only 23.

 

[Idgit]

This is a lot of money, especially the guaranteed. But it's less than I was expecting, frankly.

You mean when the ENTIRE Carolina team was on fire? You don't say?

No one is denying he had a big year. That's not the argument try to follow along. I know you're still beat up over the massive Heath contract, but keep it together for a bit. Everything I listed about Norman are red flags, that doesn't even factor in he's on the wrong side of 20.

Commanders can keep giving out stupid deals, I don't care. It's a high risk, low reward for them. They addressed their secondary, good for them. The problem here is the whining that we didn't go after him, like there wasn't any rationale behind it. In case you forgot: The very team he had the miraculous season with didn't feel he was worth the headache or the cash.

 

[gimmesix]

Why does it seem like all of the top FAs at their positions have to sign with our rivals? Can't they go bug someone in the AFC?

When you go to JUCO and then Coastal Carolina it isn't surprising that his breakout year came in his 4th season.

AND he is 28, quit trying to move the goalposts. Dez Bryant is 27.

Yeah real high risk signing All Pros.

Didn't PHI turn 3 mistakes into a ton a cap room and the 2nd pick in the draft?

Go wash your Heath and Hanna jerseys, they are good for 4 more years.

Being a costal Carolina alum and former football player there, maybe I should show up and try to play! Haha
