Why does he suck?

When your base offensive package is 2 WRs, and 2 TEs, with 5 OL, 1 RB, and 1 QB, what does that equal?

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 5 = 9

9 + 1 + 1 = 11

Max number of offensive players on the field 11 = # of players in base off. package.

Conclusion:

1. Moran Norris barely gets on the field. 7 or 8 plays a game AT MOST
2. Our OTs are weak, and the two TE set allows to block 8 men in the box
3. Another pointless, useless thread in NinerTalk without looking at the facts.
We could just as easly signed Leonard weaver!, a guy with wheels and hands and freaking talent! I like Mo No No MO!

I believe the Niners are not pleased with him. Tom Rathman was the best FULLBACK during the Glory years. Norris is not as sound a blocker and he is not going to get us a first down on 3rd and short or 4th and short.

The signing of another Fullback early this off season is proof.
A little competition never hurts.
94 Bar None was as good as Rathman. Two great FBs. Sadly, this position is becoming extinct.
Toby Gerhart for the next great FB

maybe, but i doubt they cut him, again, I wonder how Gore would take it this time.

Yeah, it's a delicate issue since Gore personally asked for Norris to be signed. I would think that they'd discuss the situation with Gore if/when they make a move.

I personally think that Norris can be upgraded.

f**kin love subjects in all caps

Norris blew a f**king load on us this season, it's time to get rid of him and either bring in a good vet, or MILLER TIME!
There actually is a thread dedicated to the fullback. It must be the offseason.

Before you start b***hing about Norris, tell me how many offensive snaps did he see this season?

/thread
The FB position is going into history. We sure didn't use Norris much the second half of the season. It might be better to have a more universal RB next year. Some teams even put a guard or blocking T.E. in to lead block on short yardage. In fact Delanie Walker would be a good player for that role...Oh that's right, some teams call that guy an "H" Back! Yes, Walker would make an excellent H Back! He can block, catch, and run the ball. Norris will stay...Sing still has a dream about a power running game, BUT wait, didn't the Skins, under Gibbs, have a kick ass power running game with John Riggins and the Hogs? Wait a minute...the Skins had a great O-Line, we don't. Maybe we should draft a R.T. in the Draft so that we can make use of Norris or Walker...but wait...........!

I do like that Miller guy. He gives value on special teams and can catch out of the backfield like Rathman and Bar None used to do.
