Some visual proof of how incompetent Carolina's coaching staff truly is.

I'll bite.

Fozz has run harder and with more purpose than anyone on this team.

 

Anyone who can say with a straight face that Fozzy has "run harder and with more purpose" than Stew is just plain hating on Stew.  It doesn't make sense from the eye test, and isn't even supported stat-wise (and not just this stat, but the overall stats).

Even Obi has equaled and outperformed Whitaker this season and over their careers respectively.

I never said he produced more than Stew has but Fozzy has been focused, decisive and determined. I haven't seen that out of "double trouble" in oh, about 5 years. Stew is the far superior RB but I'd rather have a guy with half the talent and twice the drive than all the talent and no will to use it.

well we got a whole defensive backfield of "lots of heart and no skill" so at least there's that.

The tragic thing with this thread is that the stat that you use to argue he should start is a stat that is padded by the fact that he does not start (tired defenders miss more). 

 

Also, has Stu had one full week of practice in his career? Can the answer be that he cannot be trusted to hold up for a full game? And if you need to limit the carries, maybe the best way is not the use them up in the first drive against fresh defender?

Apples and oranges.  A hammer is a hammer no mater how fancy or plain, much like a running back.  DB's are quite possibly the most gifted athletes on the field at any given time, you cant just throw "jags" at that position.  It has been proven time and time again that RB's can be found any and everywhere.

This staff has reverted to the old John Fox tactic of continuing to try and force things that aren't working, in hopes of them starting to work.

I've never understood this hard-headedness.

 

 

Actually it is easy to understand.

 

To try something new at this point in the season and to have it succeed  would be tatamount to an admission that you screwed up half of the season.

 

Rivera and company have to go.

.Dwill can not run up the middle. He gets stopped with the first contact. He is better used running a sweep using his speed. Stewart and Fozzy have more power to run between the tackles .  That falls on  Shula making the right calls.  Play the players until they can't play anymore.  both Dwill and Stewart are past their prime.  The only thing keeping them on the team is the contracts  Hurnia gave them.  Look for Gettleman to shuttle them out as soon as possible.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
