Yeah but innovative isn't Shula

Hell, that wasn't innovative. That was about as Shula as it gets. We ran the lamecat all game.

We barely squeaked out a win playing the safest game possible. Direct snap all game to your RB

I wish I could find some gambling establishment that would let me bet on the order play style that Shula calls.

I stick by my theory....

Jim Skipper pushes for Williams to remain the primary RB.

When both were healthy in 2011 and the start of 2012 Stewart was the favored RB. Stewart was leaned on more. More snaps in 2011 than any in the division and Williams officially benched in name also in 2012. Then 28 got hurt.

Then Skipper returned in 13 and Williams is the favored RB with both healthy to present day. It doesn't pass the eye test so it has to be pure favoritism. When things don't pass the eye test there is always a reason. Ron IMO leaves it up to the coaches. Which is a flaw of his with the O

Makes sense

I was mad too at first..but really it kind of does not matter as the offensive line cannot block for crap and I have zero confidence in the offense,.. Stewart is much better as he deserves the start..but just cuz D. Will starts does not mean he is getting most of the snaps..maybe they are trying to get a feel of ATL's defense... but to get Shula make adjustments and be the smart is not in check for this staff. Carolina picked the worst year to be a dysfunctional team as we could easily have this division for another playoff run for first time in history!! But like my beloved Cubs they have to stink it up again..Maybe we win this weekend, that would be nice.. wouldn't it Penguin??!!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
