Blokestradamus Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 He's not been one to adapt to the issues the offense has. Probably feels like he can't play his style of football when the OL is putting the QB under pressure at the top of his drop every other play. I just hope it's not a health thing.

I for one am very disappointed with the way the Vikes have played recently. I was really hoping to see some legit challenger to the Cowboys. In reality it should have been expected because it looks like Sam Bradford is back to playinglike Sam Bradford. The Vikings O line being subpar with a guy like Bradford at QB is an awful recipe for success. I really can't blame this on Turner. Bradford has never been a good QB, and without the AP of old the Vikings don't have much on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Yikes, hope he's ok @albertbreer Vikings announce that Norv Turner has resigned as offensive coordinator (as @AdamSchefter said). TEs coach Pat Shurmur takes over. Stunner. Shurm! As a Stefon Diggs fantasy owner this is encouraging. He hates to run the ball.

YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @tompelissero Lot of #Vikings players loved Norv. But there was sense months ago this might be his last year. Shurmur was key voice in Bradford trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Shurm! As a Stefon Diggs fantasy owner this is encouraging. He hates to run the ball. As a Jerick McKinnon PPR owner, I am up for anything that might boost his targets. No, I'm not at all annoyed because I lost last week to that Asiata catch late in the game.

Shurmur was key voice in Bradford trade. Interesting fact that I didn't know. I get the feeling that a lot of other people would have felt that Shaun Hill isn't that much of a downgrade from what you'd get from Bradford.

I think he feels like he can get the most out of him. The OL situation, though, is still going to be an issue going forward, especially for a non-mobile QB. You may be seeing Hill regardless if Bradford isn't protected. Edited November 2, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 this is just Zimmer saying "your fired, but if you want to announce as a resignation, we okay with that" is it not? 3rd OC to go, and while i am not Rex fan, Rex was the only one to take big time chit over it.

YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @albertbreer Mike Zimmer on Norv Turner's resignation: "He's been my right-hand man ... I was very, very surprised." Called Turner's decision "personal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @Edwerderespn Norv Turner surprised Mike Zimmer with resignation, told me, "I think it's just we have different views on where the offense was going." No wonder Norv and Zimmer couldn't see eye to eye. @VikingUpdate Mike Zimmer had surgery yesterday to repair a retina. Said it needed to be taken care of. #Vikings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) @tompelissero Sam Bradford says he was surprised by Norv's resignation. Had just been talking to him at facility yesterday, sensed nothing askew. Bradford says he found out Norv resigned from his wife, who got an alert on her phone. Hasn't talked to him.

YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @tompelissero Asked about Pat Shurmur, #Vikings running back Matt Asiata said, is he the guy? Players apparently still haven't been told what's happening. This is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
