Panthers OC Norv Turner on plan for Cam Newton: More help, better technique, scheme
There were 501 pass attempts by the Carolina Panthers offense in 2017, and after Norv Turner was hired as the team’s offensive coordinator on Jan. 12, he began watching every one.
Let’s hope, in the interest of saving time, he skipped the floating fake punt lobbed by Michael Palardy in Week 13 that resulted in a turnover on downs.
What Turner will see on tape is the fourth-worst completion percentage of quarterback Cam Newton’s career (59.1 percent, 291 of 492), coupled with the second-most interceptions thrown.
Some of those errors are on Newton. But Turner shouldn’t have had to dig too deep to see that Newton desperately needs help at receiver.
Never miss a local story.
