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.

    • Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play
    • ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
