Why the Panthers offense didn't work (and how Norv Turner should fix it)

I think we need to have Moton really come into his own or this offensive line will be in trouble.

We're also gonna need at least one of those UDFAs to provide decent backup. Fortunately, it appears we got some quality players, so I'm hopeful.

Everyone who pays attention on this site knows I wanted Ryan Kalil released to free up that cap space, but I really do hope he bounces back and gives us one last healthy year. Losing Norwell is going to be a big blow. I fully understand that we couldn't afford to keep him, but we lost our best offensive lineman when he walked. I just hope in the long run we don't look back and have to admit that we paid the wrong OG when we inked Turner instead of Norwell. I absolutely think that Turner has the higher ceiling, but right now Norwell is the better OG.

I don't think we paid the wrong guard. Tri on almost every play had to help our center. We unfortunately had to choose between two all pros. Thus the problem that comes with a cap.

“Let Cam Newton be Tom Brady”

THIS. RIGHT. HERE.

When Cam makes his own adjustments and commands the line of scrimmage, we get 2015 MVP Cam. When we tie him up, we get limited Cam.

Please. Let. Cam. Be. Cam. Norv.

This is the part I liked the most.   Cam is a very smart QB can dissect a defense quite well but if your OC is not allowing you to what you think is best.  We get 2017.

Turner may hold the reins tightly at the beginning but I believe he'll see Cam is in charge and allow him to make adjustments at the line.

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
