Looks like we might be losing a Turner family member.

This was retweeted by Alex Marvez from @FootballScoop

Arizona Cardinals: Per source, Cam Turner is leaving his post as the assistant quarterbacks coach / offensive quality control with the Panthers for a position on the Cardinals staff.

Same site has us losing a guy from the support staff named Ben Burress, also to Wilks and the Cardinals.

A lot of teams don't necessarily have an assistant quarterback coach.  We seem to use it as an "intern" type position. 

Scott Turner held the position a few years ago,  Maybe Cam was hoping for the job himself or didn't necessarily wanna be assistant to his cousin. Or maybe he just really likes working with Wilks or likes it better in Arizona. Who can say?

i expect he'd be replaced with someone young that none of us have ever heard of.

Norv does have another son.

Could be a promotion for him...

They already have a QB coach in Byron Leftwich.  Leftwich was promoted from Assistant QB Coach when the QB Coach was reassigned to runningbacks, after which he then bolted for the same position in Cleveland (but with an associate head coach title).

My first guess would be Turner's backfilling Leftwich's old job.

Wait. There's a Cam Turner on the staff? Is there a Norv Newton as well, by chance?

And Cam was helping coach Cam :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

Cameron Turner is Ron Turner's son, Norv's nephew. Ron has a "consultant" role.  Might make sense to just make him the assistant QB coach (replacing his son, assisting his nephew).

Simpler than hiring someone else...

      I'm more curious if he can recover from his injury and still be a starting caliber olineman

      New Huddle FAQ

      Does this mean only topics from within the last year or any topics with posts from the last year? i.e. if there are any old threads we feel should be kept around for whatever reasons, would a bump of that thread before the update ensure it's kept around in full or do the posts from more than a year old still disappear?

      I'm more intrigued at him becoming our future LG. There were some people who thought he was better suited to be a guard in the NFL to begin with.  Then if Freeling ends up being a legit LT, moving Ickey to LG could give us an incredibly strong left side of our OL for years to come. Ickey has only played on the Left side his whole career, both in college and the NFL, so I just wonder if keeping him on the left side, even if shifting inside, would be better than putting him outside on the right side. Just hoping him growing up a Panthers fan will make him want to stay here and move positions than enter FA so he can stay at LT somewhere else, particularly since LT is the big money position on the OL, so he likely can get paid more by someone else to play LT than play LG or RT here for us.
