How Turner will impact Newton and CMC

The list of receivers that have excelled under Turner is impressive. 

Quote

The Vikings found Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs with Turner on the staff in Minnesota. 

This statement gives me hope that Turner knows how to find gems and players that fit his offense.  For whatever reason we seemed to be cursed when it comes to drafting WRs.   KB and Funchess aren't bad but they aren't great either.  Hurney sucks at it.  I won't throw too many names because some of you might have seizures but Colbert and Jarrett are a couple.

Note to Hurney:  Let Turner pick the receivers.

don't turn your back on funchess.. I think he will have a huge season under turner along with samuel. They are identical to theilen and diggs.

Funchess isn't KB slow.  He may not be the fastest receiver we have but with the right partner on the other side Funchess can be very effective.  Add in CMC out of the backfield and Samuel in the Slot.  

To me, Turner has weapons already on this Roster and only needs to add one or two and it's light out.

Not only does Jarrett come to mind, but so does the fact that we immediately cut Keyshawn (against his will) because we didn't need him anymore with Jarrett.

I think I just threw up in my mouth..... Thanks for reminding me....lol.

What a stupid move.  About the only thing Jarrett and Keyshawn had in common was they came from USC.

It's really good to have some perspective around here because we have a bunch of rapid fire topic starters who truly have no clue what the NFL is all about.

LOL so Funchess is supposed to be Theilen? 

And I wouldnt say Samuel is anyone until he can actually prove he can stay on the damn field for a season

If they draft a rb like Chubb the will they relegate cmc to strictly a 3rd down back with 5 or 6 touches a game? Cmc says he wants to be an every down back I can’t see it if they get a number one back

I dont think so...you move him around...that was the whole point  of drafting him...

It won't really who the OC is if we don't get more weapons on offense. This is less about Cam Newton and more about better play calling period. It is completely unacceptable to go as many games as we did and have to burn a timeout to get the play in. Olsen, Funch, and McCaffery have a role in this offense but we need more period.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
