Carolina Panthers: 3 burning questions before training camp

Will Cam Newton and Norv Turner connect instantly?

How will Cam Newton fare under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner? All indications point to the fact that it may go smoothly.

As you have heard by now, Turner wants to make the Carolina Panthers offense a vertical threat. In addition, he wants to make Newton more of a pocket passer. Both those things sound like reasonable goals. The question that remains is can he achieve those while making sure that he and Newton are on the same page? To be clear, Turner should be able to change the Carolina Panthers offense for the better.

What makes this a burning question is whether or not things will go smoothly for Newton and Turner in their first year together. The changes that Turner wants to make do not seem impossible. Rather it is more a question of how the offense is going to be executed. Putting Newton and Turner together is a match made in heaven as both are known for making offenses dynamic and explosive. With revamped receiving corps, that will present a welcome challenge for both parties.

The bottom line here is a rather simple question to a complex situation: How will it all come together?
