He looked decent. He did telegraph a pick six though on an out route pass intended for Yeldon. To me, that was a mistake to begin with. Yeldon wasn't really running that route convincingly and I think Norman was able to see that early and that's why the ball went the other way. The 2nd INT wasn't really his fault. The ball was tipped and it honestly should have been called back after a blatant hands to the face call was missed by the refs on Sam Young. It was so blatant the commentators were in disbelief they missed it.

 

Outside of that. His numbers could have been better. Hurns, Robinson and Greene dropped some solid passes that could have potentially put his numbers over 250 and eliminated those INT's. The offensive line was yet again a concern giving up four sacks. And the receivers dropping passes were also another concern yet again that have clearly spilled over from the pre-season. He'll improve if they can improve around him. Bortles can't do it all on his on. Though he tries. With that said, it's not like Carolina has a slouch defense. But the pass protection MUST improve and the drops MUST go away for him to succeed. I know, it's common sense by now. But as far as his delivery, mechanics and release. He's good.
