7 years agoThe Carolina Panthers "agreed in principle" to make Norv Turner their offensive coordinator Thursday, according to a source. This was expected to happen for the last couple of days, and now it looks to be official. It's somewhat of an odd fit, since Turner typically works with pocket passers instead of dual threats like quarterback Cam Newton. Turner's offense usually place an emphasis on big plays downfield, too, and the Panthers lack consistent deep threats, although they do have impressive speedsters in Kaelin Clay and Curtis Samuel. Upgrading the receiving corps in the offseason should be a priority for Carolina in order to give Turner more to work with. Improving Newton's accuracy and efficiency will be one of Turner's main goals, too.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
