So if R.R is retained and keeps Shula....it is possible

Going on the notion that Rivera is back for 2015. He has never shown any inclination to having a problem with Shula as his OC. He did have a problem with Chud's playcalling and did make some vague comments during his final season. He has never taken Shula to task that I know of.

I do believe that Rivera has the say over his staff and D.G may allow him that responsibilty. If RIvera plans on building up the defense and sticking with the conservative offense, then what.

There is no guarantee that the OC will be let go, regardless of what we want.

Cam should be allowed to move on and built a career if this happens. He will never succeed here under this regime if that's the case.

*this goes hand and hand with the contract discussion. Will they pay him if thats the plan they have and will he accept it.

the only thing to change your scenario would be if they were to build a defense like the Ray Lewis Raven SB defense.

 I don't think the Panthers allow Cam to move on no matter what. They will try to keep him.

Going to depend how the rest of the season plays out.  If they somehow get a home playoff game and beat say Seattle/Arizona or Green Bay/Detroit....it'd be pretty hard to say "Get out of town"

 

But if they miss the playoffs and you go back and look at how bad they were this season, it's a no brainer he should be gone IMO.  The team was at times the worst team in the NFL this year and that is inexcusable.

If we keep them, improve the secondary get another tackle, etc. this offseason and have literally the same year as last year (dominating 12-4 record) AND we win a playoff game or two, would you still be pissed at keeping Ron/Shula? And would Cam still want to get out? I think he'd rather be winning than padding stats. As long as we get a solid to great o-line and dominant defense I think this strategy could work. Lots of money not contributing to play on the field right now, and that will change soon. I would love to have an offensive guru as HC but I'm not as pissed as many here that Rivera is likely staying. He should get one more shot next year but he must win a playoff game. As to how this relates to Cam.... I think everyone who thinks he will leave is being a diva about it. Cam is happy with the Panthers franchise despite the terrible o-line, which will absolutely change. He's not going anywhere no matter what happens.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
