Whip em out, boys. Fluff piece on the Panthers from MMQB


Recommended Posts

Quote

Turner has coached Troy Aikman, Drew Brees and Philip Rivers, but if you ask him if he’s ever had a quarterback like the one he’s got now, he won’t skip a beat.

“No,” Turner said, on the last day of the team’s spring work. “It’s an understatement to say [Newton is] very unique, and when he’s playing at his best, defensive coaches see him as one of the hardest guys in the league to defend. Now, I think we’ve added some guys that will help, so they can’t totally zero in on Cam and just have a plan for him. We have some guys that have good playmaking skills and are going to help us.”

Ugh...just wish it was a fluff piece that I haven't already read 17 times this offseason.  What can really be expected until players report to TC though. Oh well. :eyeroll:

That’s where the individual part of the equation comes in, which has been a little different. From a teaching standpoint, the younger Turner (who was a quality control coach in Carolina for Newton’s first two seasons) has tried to make what can be monotonous spring work competitive in the quarterback room to get the players more engaged. One example: They time a quick-hand drill where each quarterback takes five rapid-fire shotgun snaps, throwing to five different spots, and declare winners and losers at the end. The result the coaches have seen is a locked-in starter who’s learning the ins and outs of every play call, rather than just going out and playing.

I definitely haven't read that 17 times before

“With him, on every play, we want to make sure he has a plan and he’s following that plan,” said Scott Turner. “And to know checking down is OK. A lot of Cam’s issues have come because he’s so talented that he thinks he can make every play work. And sometimes, it’s just not there, so you check down and go to the next play. By holding the ball, sometimes he takes hits or falls into negative plays.

 

Yes...please yes.  Check down to CMC/Samuel/CJ and let them get the yards for you, save your body from abuse.

Hell take that 40 to 1 on the Panthers. This looks right. Kasay hadnt shiit the ball out of bounds I may have still won 10k. I cried that night.Dad said I was upset about not winning the money. I laughed and said this has nothing to to with money. I need my Panthers to win 1 Superbowl before I die and you will never get that. Im poor but that game sent me over the top. Then the debacle with Denver. That was a fugging catch! Good job cotch. Broken heart again. Loved our 1-15 team out of young fandom. We were going to the bowl after that Viking slaying. I swear I hope we get one. Planning on  taking my boy to his first home game this year. We always go to Tampa Shizz Stadium. We havent caught mercer. Though my ex n I vomited wildly after leaving Atlantas stadium. Any way I feel good about this team. Take the money and run, we got this.

2015 was high scoring, but yards per play we weren’t top 10. Turnovers and just amazing efficiency helped. This offense can easily be better than that one. 

This offense has more talent than the 2015 offense. The 2015 offense benefited so much from short fields when the defense came up with turnovers. Also, I think the 2015 offense was inflated a decent bit by playing a relatively easy schedule without having to face elite pass rushes that could expose the lack of OT and WR talent.

Matt Kalil and Taylor Moton's performance at LT/LG will determine if this year's offense can be really special. Hopefully, with Norv as OC, a strong run game and quick passing can put them in a position to succeed.

I like that the new staff is not shying away from the fact that there are areas he can improve. I know that there are people who will throw a fit at the idea he isn't perfect but the rest of us are happy to know there is an initiative to make him even better.
