Do you think Norv is...
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/football/7629204.htmWannstedt doesn't deny imposing his will on the offense but defends his actions by saying he was doing what was necessary to win.
'You have to do what you can do as a coach to win,'' he said. ``We had a rookie left tackle. You want to drop back and throw it 50 times in a game? How much sense does that make?

I blame Wanne and the lack of a passing game for much of Norv's apparent failures http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/football/7629204.htm
Norv is good, just not one of the best as we believed when we got him

People forget that in 1999, when the Rams won the Superbowl with Kurt Warner and that explosive offense, it was Norv Turner's Washington offense that was #1 in the NFL.
Who did Norv have on that offense:
Stephen Davis -- A very good, but not great, running back.
Brad Johnson -- A middle of the road quarterback that fit the drop back passing system.
Michael Westbrook -- More known for knocking Stephen Davis cold than his 1,000 yard receiving season in 1999.
Albert Connell -- More known for stealing from Deuce McCallister than his 1,000 yard receiving season in 1999.
Stephen Alexander -- A solid, pass catching tight end.
Brad Baxter was his starting left tackle. Cory Raymer, who is now a back up in San Diego, was his starting center. His right tackle was a rookie in Jon Jansen.
Yet, that was the #1 rated offense in the NFL for that season.
