What exactly is Norv Turner's offensive system?

[dwmyers]

You're the one who stated Troy was a better judge of offensive talent.

Hence, my comment on his signing off on LaFleur.

Pay attention to your own comments.

It's still irrelevant. LaFleur's biggest failures were medical, which Troy couldn't have known about, and you're blaming him for. Let me ask again: what does this have to do with Norv's skill as an offensive coordinator?

Troy was a All Pro grade QB. He won 3 Super Bowls. He's surely qualified to tell you WHO taught him to be the best. He says it's Norv Turner. He could have said David Shula, or whomever were the Qb coaches at the time, but no, he singles out Norv.

That's significant about Norv, in a way totally opposed to Troy tossing the ball back and forth with LaFleur. So Troy wasn't a professional scout at the time. Are you going to tell me he wasn't a professional QB either? That he didn't know that position, or what it took to go from horrible to one of the best in the NFL?

I'll reiterate. I think you, and perhaps theogt, are denying that Norv has any professional skills whatsoever. I think you're overstating the case. Norv seems qualified to me to be a NFL coordinator, and he has some influential voices in Aikman and Daryl Johnson who say he's an excellent coach.

Great, so Troy is qualified to say Norv was a good OC.

He is in no way qualified to speak on Norv as a HC.

By the way......Troy was at the Henson workout as well.

That makes him 0 for 2.

My only worry is that I am not completely convinced that Romo fits into Norv's scheme. Romo strikes me as a read the field, find the open guy and get it to him, more in a Bill Walsh coaching tree style offense.

He doesn't strike me as a drop back and throw a timing route downfield. He just doesn't seem robotic enough. We'll see - I could be wrong

No, I agree completely. I was thinking the same thing myself.

This is just crazy. Hey, maybe if Norv works his magic, after the adjustment period from implementing these changes that *will* need to be made, we can become, oh, say, a top-5 yardage offense and a top-4 scoring offense.

Yeah.
