Cam Newton was statistically one of the worst passers on 2nd down in 2013

So, at what point do we put last year to bed and focus on this year?  I have high hopes that Shula learned a lot last year and with Ramsdell guiding him, we will be a lot more productive this year.  Last year wasn't as bad as some make it out to be,  We scored more points per game last year than in Chud's second season which supposed to be so great.

 

I think we will average around 24-25 points per game this year which should be enough to win our share.

Have you seen Cam's stats on the Sundays that have a waning crescent moon?  Horrible.  Just horrible.

 

In other statistical news, did you know that ice cream sales directly influence shark attacks?  It's a fact.  As ice cream sales go up each year...so do shark attacks.

 

Stop eating ice cream you fools.

So many fans blaming Shula.

Regardless of the play call, it's up to the players to execute it.

Blaming Shula is just an easy excuse for those who don't support him as a Panther coach.

Shula has already proven he can coach and call plays. While he'll never be mistaken as Chud or a Martz, he isn't as bad as the masses make him out to be.

Coaches jobs are to put the players in the best situations to succeed by evaluating talent on the roster and implementing plays that let talent shine and mask weaknesses. Shula was not as bad as people are making him out to be, but he has stuff to improve on.

Every coach does. Martz was arguably the best OC in the game, and he is the last coach I'd want as our OC.

I was saying Shula failed at times to put our players in the best positions to succeed. Long winded routes for our receivers against heavy pass rush and inadequate blocking.

It's definitely a combination of different things but you act like the players should just execute any play call given when a certain play call isn't the best for the talent we have on the field....basically mask deficiencies better. He's gonna have to learn fast because our tackle position is so suspect at the moment.

Newton ranks 6th to last on 2nd down, but he was near the top for 3rd down and was the best rated passer on 4th down.  

 

 

Just found this interesting...it's just weird because he was solid on all other downs except 2nd down?

 

These guys claim to be all about stats but then declare a QB to be the best at 4th Downs based on 6 dropbacks. Preeeeety careless. 

 

As they say, some of the greatest works of fiction are written in Excel.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
