What are the Chances? Norv Turner

Offensively I think this team is very exciting and only improving.

Norv has done wonders with Cam and I would hate to see him go.

What are the chances that if we were to change our head coach that Norv stays on as OC?  Or do you think if Rivera gets can, Turner leaves regardless of whether he is offered the position?

We've wasted some much of Cam's career with Shula.  We finally have an OC that can put up some points and if we can Rivera, we have to start all over.

Highly unlikely we'd keep him.  It would very likely begin a serious downturn in Cam's career too.  Typically QBs that have new coordinators every other year are the ones that end up fizzling out.  It's dangerous for teams to become addicted to coaching changes.  It sure does feel like Rivera is starting to get stale though.  It's a tough call.

I'm afraid if Ron goes, so will Cam, KK, Turner, Thompson, even Kuechly. Ron's been their big daddy since day 1 of rookie training camp.

I'm sick of Ron's conservative decisions & he must change. My only fear is if he goes, his loyal players will be pissed & ditch the Panthers.

Huh? This ain't Varsity Blues.  The players won't be going anywhere.

Norv took the position because Ron specifically asked for his help. I would expect if Ron goes, Norv goes.

The wild card is Scott Turner. It's likely he could become a good OC and may decide to stay with the Panthers through a regime change. It's a conversation worth having with the new GM and coach, when that happens.

Regarding the players - players are loyal, but they ALL understand this is a business. They are more likely to take into account money and where their families are established more than they will the result of a coach firing.

Man I thought I had seen all the dumbassery one life could show you but we have someone here talking stupid poo about Cam would leave to go with Rivera if he was fired ROFLMAO.

HAHAHAH oh man that's golden.

While I agree that Cam wouldn't leave if Ron got canned and Norv left, Cam could be less effective if the next OC tries to implement a more traditional offense or a different scheme like a West coast offense. Norv has done a good job matching this offense to what Cam does well. There is nothing to say he wouldn't fall back to mediocrity if we changed the coaching staff significantly.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
