Panthers at Vikings Gameday Thread

I've been hard on Rivera, but let's not act like Gettleman did him or Shula some serious favors with the offensive personnel (OL, WR). 

 

This nonsense needs to stop right now.

 

AGAIN, RIVERA HAS BEEN SAYING SINCE LAST YEAR THAT HE HAS NO CONCERNS ABOUT THE OL. Since that's all he's been saying, why should anyone assume that he didn't also tell Gettleman that he could make the likes of Bell and Chandler work? Rivera hasn't once criticized the OL this season even. Everyone knows it sucks, and knew it sucked after last year, but Rivera has always said the opposite. If that's what Gettleman heard from him, Gettleman should've allowed him to prove that he could make it work.

 

As for the WRs, it's not like they lost Jerry Rice. Ginn dropped way too many wide open passes last year and Lafell is still slow. Neither has ever been a "franchise player," and they still aren't. Get Cam a Julio Jones, a strong and fast guy with good hands, and let that guy walk, then we can talk about Gettleman messing up the WRs.

Well, been a Panthers fan since the beginning, but I'm also a football fan, and what I'm seeing this team play this year ain't football.  On the bright side, Brady v, Rodgers is on the late game.  Maybe RR and Shula will watch on the way home and see how an offense should be run. I love our core players (Cam, Luke, TD, etc.), but the FO, coaches (except Proehl, McDermott), and half the squad need to be shown the door…and lock it behind them.

Shula went straight down the field in the no-huddle.

When he got in the red-zone, he stopped using the no huddle.

Hur dur.

its like they are too stupid to get out of their own way. Got something working great oh crap we're inside the 20 better go back to my good ol play calls that always work when in the redzone. FG

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
