Offensive Coordinator Rankings: Ron Turner

If you were asked "Where would you rank Ron Turner?" out of the 32 NFL Offensive Coordinators, how would you respond?  Sporting News has been running a series of the best players at each position, and now they have done the same for OCs.

Before you click the jump and find out where Ron Turner ranks, think about it for a minute... where would you put him?

Star-divide

Well, according to Sporting News, Ron Turner is the 18th best OC in the NFL.

18. Ron Turner, Bears. An old-school, run-first guy, Turner will look to get more balance into the offense with the arrival of QB Jay Cutler and the emergence of WRs Devin Hester, Earl Bennett and Rashied Davis. Turner still will focus on the run but will be more aggressive in the passing game, using Cutler's skills and mobility to go downfield off play-action fakes.

Think they got it right?

…the emergence of … Rashied Davis

Hmmmmmmmm.

Yeah I think they got it right

Sad no mention of the FB back dive…

Because as far as we're concerned, there is still no team in the history of the NFL that could beat the '85 Bears.

I was looking at the picture again

Tell me it doesn’t look like Lovie is say this..

“Ron this is Devin, he’s really fast… so if you could dial up a few plays to him instead of Rasheid that’d be great.”

I was just guessing that it's Lovie.

But to answer your question yes Lovie is any black dude with sunglasses and a hat. :)

Daryl Drake no hat or sunglasses-

Lovie wearing a hat and sunglasses-

I rest my case. Your witness.

I see a lot more touchdowns in Devin Hester's future.

That still doesn’t make him a good WR… he just happens to be able to get behind defenses, and our new QB won’t over/under throw him.

Seems fair

Although I can’t I know enough about all the other OCs in the league to make an accurate judgment.

Ron Turner is a solid offensive coordinator

He has gotten the absolute maximum out of what he has had to work with the last few years. A dreadful QB situation and arguably the worst assortment of wide receivers in football to go along with a pathwork offensive line.

You are a product of what you have to work with. Hence why all these insanely wild predictions for the impact of Rod Marinelli need to be tempered.

I like Ron Turner. He is good at what he does, and now he has a quarterback and an improved offensive line to work with to go along with Matt Forte.

Awww, come on guys, it's so simple maybe you need a refresher course. It's all ball bearings ...

Thank you, good to be here.

I just worked 13 days strait. I got three days off so I’m trying to catch up on Bears news. I barely heard about Pisa. I really need to get my priorities strait, work is totally interfering with my passion.

I did not realize

There were only 20 true OCs in the league, I was thinking they would rank out of 32 and I would have put Turner right in the middle. 18/20 seems kind of low for him but I guess it fits when I think about it.

that was great, but...

the exit sign should’ve had the #81!!!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
