A hopeful observation about the Panthers offense

You can bet Cam will be taking deep shots but it's not going to be as slow developing as with Shula.

The Norv hiring reminds a bit of the Kalil signing..  People want to get excited because of the name and pedigree but nothing in their recent history really suggest success.

If you didn't know his name and only looked at the last 5 years I'm not sure people would be as excited.  

With all that being said I was ok with the hiring because of two reasons.  I think it will benefit Cam to be around a coach that has been around other great quarterbacks.  Also I think he one of the few coaches we could have hired (maybe the only one) that would have got some freedom from Ron to coach like they want.

We could have hired the most progressive, successful OC of the past few years and I'm not convinced Ron would give them the freedom they need.

One thing I realized today is that Cam is getting rid of the ball quicker than I have ever seen. Gone are the days of 4 to 5 second passing plays. Most are out within 2-3 seconds.

Norv Turner has proven he can coach at a high level . Kalil has yet to prove he can. Unless Shula drugs Norv he has talent all over the place with the Panthers similar to Dallas back in the day. There will be a point where people will think Kalil and other players have "got it" all the while forgetting its Norv. All Rivera has to do is make sure Washington can produce a 17 point defense and we have a SB this year.
