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.

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
