FFToday's Take:Turner's offenses are vertical-based in their nature - good for Cam Newton - but tend to feature deep drops - which may not be the best thing for Newton. While Turner tends to serve as a boon to running backs, he also has very little experience with dual-threat quarterbacks. HC Ron Rivera obviously opted for familiarity over fit here, making for what seems like an odd marriage between coordinator and quarterback.
