The Facts: After four decades in coaching, Norv Turner returns to Carolina as OC. Turner's relationship with Panthers HC Ron Rivera from their four seasons together in San Diego -- has been well-documented. The bigger unknown is what Turner will do with the guy who provides so much excitement -- both realized and untapped -- to the offense. "There's nobody like Cam. He can really do anything you want to do," Turner said.
Diehards Line:
Newton has broken all sorts of rushing records for a quarterback and he’s had some success in the air. But many still aren’t sold on his ability as a passer, due in large part to spotty accuracy during his seven NFL seasons. That’s where Turner comes in. “I always think it's important for the quarterback when you're in the pocket, the things you're doing to be very quick with the ball, be specific, get the ball out, and I think that's where we can help Cam,” Turner said. “I think there's some technical things in the drop, in the vision, where you're looking, when you're looking that we can help and get the ball out quicker. We can help with his accuracy and then continue to find the things he does best and let him do those.” It's worth noting Turner's greatest success has been with pure pocket passers. That’s clearly not who Newton is. That said, the arrival of Turner certainly won't hinder Newton's development.
