Norv Turner to the Browns


Password is Taco

Recommended Posts

I'd think Norv would have to think Carolina is attractive in that:

1) he can use it as a springboard to get back to being an HC

2) if Rivera is gone after next year, good chance he could take over as HC

Just my 2 cents

Norv Turner is the Dom Campers of OCs.

I want him as an OC. I do not want any part of him as a HC.

I want Norv because I think he is a really good Offense Coordinator and the best one available at the Coryell Offense. I don't think he would do some of the crazy Chud stuff where he overthought the hell out of the offense. In San Diego they ran the hell out of the football with LT and then Tolbert/Matthews and won alot of games.

In the interest of fairly debating both sides of the issue - his comments then could also be taken as a positive for the Browns.

We know he can have that job if he wants it. If we're smart he can have this one too. He is familiar with people at both places. Each has pros and cons. I tend to think ours is a more attractive job, if he's choosing, because we do not have a HC who would interfere with his offense constantly and we have better talent on offense. Browns fans will tell you that theirs is more attractive because he won't have to adjust what he likes to run as much and they will offer more job security.

In reality we don't even know if he can have our job or not...and we really don't know when / how the decision will be made. All we can do is wait and see where he ends up. I didn't hear an announcement from the Browns that he's on board during that presser...that would have been a good splash if it was a done deal.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
