I keep seeing all these threads about how we should be excited, not be excited, how Norv will be good for Cam and how Norv will be Cam's death bed.  I checked the panthers web site and googled a bit but still haven't seen proof that NT has been hired by the Panthers.  Just wondering if I am missing something ?

No, not yet. As far as we know, he hasn't even interviewed yet.

I think it's more like he's doing the interviews.  Ron is going to have to sell him on taking the job I'm certain.

It will all come down to getting Newton to buy in however.  If Cam at with it then we have a problem.

i read up on his resignation in Minni— all of a sudden, said he felt like he was holding their offense back. 

 

At his age he is not going to compromise his beliefs so it's understandable.  He doesn't need the job or the stress.  He will take it if everyone buys in and stays bought it.  Otherwise they are wasting his time.

I would think if he did it would be from some unforeseen issue just revealed... I think generally the deal was done before this week.

I think if he isn't doing it, it would have been reported they would be interviewing other guys for the job. I have yet to hear anything about any other candidate interviewing for the job. I think Norv will be good if we add a #1 WR and a RB that can carry the mail on 1st and 2nd down, if needed. Remember, Turner coached RBs like LT, Turner, Tolbert, Sproles, etc. so he knows how to work with RBs as well as TE's (had Gates his entire time at SD). Also, he gradually helped Rivers, and although Cam isn't as dynamic of a passer as Rivers, he's never had a true Dual Threat. I think we will see similar things from Cam like we did from his rookie year with Chud as OC. I like this hire. We can't get much worse than what Shula did.

Cam will have essentially zero input into who we hire as OC. And that's the way it should be.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
