Norv Turner's play design


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Man, seeing these well executed play designs is a breath of fresh air. Did you see the blocking scheme on CMC's TD as well? It was sick. This is to all of those who said it was the "players not executing" when Shula was here. Good play designs and a good scheme matters. Now if only we got rid of Shula earlier we would already have a ring. This offense is about to blow up.

Remember, multiple teams didnt want norv because his play calls were meh... I dont say that because hes bad, but just to point out how low we had set the bar with Mike Shula at the helm.  In fact, I think he'll have a resurgence due to never having someone as dynamic as cam newton and CMC is looking like the real deal, but remembering him being moved on from can remind us of how bad shula was.

Cleveland w/ Chud and no offensive talent.

Minnesota w/ Zimmer and a little more offensive talent. 

Carolina with w Rivera, and the best offense skill position wise we've likely ever had as far as potential. 

I'm not gonna hold those last two stops against him given the situations.

These people exist?

I see you haven't been around here very long, so you have a perfectly valid excuse not to have known this.

But the answer to your question is, yes, at the very least they existED.  Now whether they'll every bring up their formerly proud defense of Shula's "brilliant schemes" is another question.  They'll likely let sleeping dogs lie in that regard.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
