We've not had a threatening returner since Trindon Holiday. He was exciting to watch but always seemed to have issues holding onto the ball. Was it in Cincinnati where he released the ball before he crossed the goal line but the refs missed it?

Norwood = runny mashed potatoes with no gravy, no salt, no butter, no nothing. Just beyond bland. When we had Holiday, the occasional mistakes were worth it in having a returner who just might return for a TD (and did). He was exciting to watch. Every time we get the ball back now, the ONLY "excitement" that I feel is the fear of a fumble. Most definitely NOT the kind of excitement that I like. Seriously... why isn't Norwood working at a cell phone store already?

But, he's not a good returner, he is not a top end athlete. And he's not a good WR
Why is he on our team?
We need an upgrade for our slot WR and returner. Wish we had Tyreke Hill or Marquise Goodwin
Just someone with some blazing speed for those positions
Norwood just doesn't seem to have enough speed to be a returner.
During the Super Bowl on the return that should've ended in a TD , I thought either he was too slow or that he had just run out of gas but watching him this season he just looks slow all around.

Sounds like you're still talking about Holiday cause he developed fumble-itis after his early success.

He had a really poor outing against the Chargers on Sunday, which was only magnified by his mistakes.
The drop that led to an INT being returned for a TD, combined with the fumble on the punt return that was luckily recovered, probably would have had people screaming for him to be cut had the Chargers jumped on it first.
His kick returns that are better off being downed for a TB have hurt starting FP quite a bit so far this season. It doesn't make sense, especially with the ball coming out to the 25 now under the new rules. However, his hesitance to fair catch a punt is hurting starting FP to a larger extent, since the ball always seems to roll and get downed inside the 5 yard line. It also doesn't help his case that he's the guy catching most of Siemian's short of the sticks passes on 3rd down.Last edited by Bootleg; 11-01-2016, 01:10 PM.

But I'd take him over Norwood no doubt
Don't get why all teams don't make sure they have one super athlete who can return kicks well...we need one
