When Your QB Knows More Than Your OC

[chknwing]

I can not wait for the end of the season when Shula is put out of his misery.  I can see a difference when a qb calls an audible from what he sees in the defense, but jesus, when Cam realizes Shulas play is bullshit and suggests another one while on the sideline?

 

 

Shula said Newton was energetic and engaged on the sideline. He reviewed plays with Anderson and offered input.  In fact, when the offense was getting ready to take the field with 3:11 left in the game, Newton suggested a play-action pass. Shula went with it, and wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin made a 12-yard catch on a slant route."I was thinking pass but not that pass. I was like, 'Yeah, that sounds better,'  "Shula said. "He's got a lot of really good football ideas."

......Bwhahaha what hell of a season........

yeah, time to replace shula. Give Cam a guy that compliments what he has to offer as a QB, not someone who holds him back.

[London Loves Luke]

At some point I can see Shula being the best type of OC for Cam, where Cam has the freedom to call and read the game from the line and gets better with experience. 

 

This worries me as Cam seems to have built an understanding with Shula, if we replace him with a more rigid OC, things might go badly.

the idea is for the coach to teach the qb, not the other way around.  Shula has nothing to offer Cam, hes useless.  If your gonna let Cam have 100% freedom, then just fire Shula and hire no one.

i dont think shula is the answer for Cam. Cam had played very well off of learning new playbooks in college and his rookie year.

This offense doesnt score points. Time to build around Cam with a system and personell

Even Peyton has an OC.  You just need an OC that can either calm down or juice up the QB when he needs to.  They MUST be on the same page though.  You cant have a grizzled old miser calling runs when the QB sees passing opportunities and you cant have a jolly green R-tard calling triple option reverse half back read dive toss slant crack sweep slant z go QB kneel.

But that's my go-to call in madden :/

What if we kept Shula, but turned off his microphone?  JR's happy, Rivera's happy, and the offense would actually start moving the ball.

[CelibatePimp]

So what if the pass went incomplete? Would you say the same thing? I don't know how this shows Cam knows more than the OC.

But it wasn't, so your entire hypothetical question is redundant.

You're missing the point. Calling one play that works does not mean you are suddenly knowledgeable than the OC. How many people on game day threads have not called for example a screen pass and then it works. Are they suddenly better than the OC?

I see the usual trolling didn't take long. Right on cue boys.
