Is Norv Turner taking over as interim head coach a detrimental move to the team's playoff push?

If everyone gets their wish and we fire Ron, replacing him with Norv makes by far the most sense.

Of course that brings him out of the booth and down on the field. Something would happen differently with offensive play-calls.

Assuming all that gets worked out, does this give the team any kind of measurable advantage? We are still in the playoff hunt and any moves made now have to be made with that in mind.

Could Turner give this team a chance for an effective playoff run that Ron can't?

Would he even want to be a HC again? Didn’t we have to lure him out of retirement? He may not want all that responsibility. Although, he clearly was poo today on our first two RZ possessions. 7 straight runs I believe instead of a perfect cam newton throwing or a play action.

Norv Turner is just another version of Ron Rivera as HC, maybe even worse and at best only slightly better.  There is a reason those super talented Chargers teams never did much.

But I doubt Turner would agree to that happening anyway.  I don't think he wants to be saddled with any head coaching duties.

No matter the changes in logistics, making Norv the HC would be a net positive.  Norv was at least an average coach that won a lot of games over his career with a lot less talent on his rosters...  i would be completely ecstatic if Tepper made this happen.

      Jalen Ramsey

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
