Why would you want him instead of Shula? He's basically the exact same. If you want to get rid of Shula then you don't want Norv. They run the exact same offense except Norv doesn't have the same rapport with Cam and the suite of running plays for him. This would be the most pointless change ever.

Now if you like Shula and leaves for somewhere else then he would be a good alternative but to fire Shula and hire Norv would be asinine.

Rivera and Turner are close friends from their days with the Chargers. Rivera considers Turner a mentor.

Rivera actually tried to bring Turner aboard back before he chose to go with the Vikings (I forget in what role).

Is there a role for him now? I'm guessing it'd have to be a consultant type thing. Don't really see it but anything is possible.

Man, a few weeks ago the Vikes looked ready to conquer the world. How quickly things change.

There is no evidence that I know of from Turner that he could run an offense designed for Cam. It might take him some time to develop that, where Shula is probably the most creative run caller in the league. His problem is getting away from those calls and making poor decisions like a 1st and goal on the 1 pass when the run has been working.

Norv knows how to call better play-action, power,zone, sweeps, stretch etc for the RBs. It would definitely help the run game become better and keep Cam from taking a lot of the punishment.

I'd really like to know the 'why' behind this.

It's totally out of left field.

Speculation is Zimmer is using him as the scapegoat for the offensive struggles and let him resign, instead of firing him, out respect. Or that Norv has some health issues.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
