From Bridgewater to Newton...but...

Shula could be better in some situations but my goodness at the crap coming out of ya'lls mouth.

 

"Cam missed a lot of passes"  Shula's fault?

"All Cams receivers drop passes continually"  Shula's fault?

"Our line can't open a hole to save its life"   Shula's fault?

"Our OT's are revolving doors"  Shula's fault?

 

Some of you GM's should recognize that our personnel on the filed left a lot to be desired as far as execution of ANY play.  If you can't block, catch or throw, then it limits you as an OC as to your success.

 

Again, yes, I agree that on paper he made some predictable calls, but I am not going to lump all our offensive woes on him.

Bridgewater's mastery of the pocket is what really impressed me. Although he's mobile, you never see him run into a rush unless the pocket collapse immediately. His accuracy is also uncanny. The kid couldn't complete less than 60% of his passes even if he tried. Any upgrade of the OL and he could consistently complete 65% of his passes.

My biggest fear is that we upgrade our OL and Cam end up getting exposed. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure our problem was always the OL. Just saying

Its clear after one season Bridgewater has proven he is the better QB. Even comparing Cam to Bridgewater is foolish because of the skill he posses. Bridgewater,Luck,and Tannihill all are better than Cam because states don't lie. Still we are stuck with cam but it's clear he will never be a good QB and will be able to carry his team.

Really? Cam is never going to stack up to the new flavor of the month huh? I guess we should give Cams ROY to Bridgwater.

I think we'll either see the offense explode next year or it's going to implode and Shula could be fired mid-season.  No doubt with a healthy Stewart and an upgrade at WR #2 to go with Olsen and Benjamin, the offense could be very good.  But at the same time it's Mike Shula running the show so we could four verticals on a 3rd and 1.

I won't say it's all Shula's fault, obviously, that's the reason we need weapons on offense.  That said, he does little to get the most out of the personnel given.  When our RB's and o-line were injured it was square peg in round hole continuously by running the ball and calling deep passes to Cotchery and KB.  If we had Tom Brady in his prime with Megatron and Fitzgerald in their prime on the outside and Darrin Reaves in the backfield, I would bet money he'd still be a 60% run OC.  Guys who can not manipulate their system to fit their personnel do poorly in the NFL because (as we saw last year), plans change and you have to make adjustments.  He didn't make adjustments, what happened was the personnel he needed to succeed in his gameplan got healthy and they did a "better" job executing it even though it was still a fairly poor Gameplan. Jennings will be an improvement as our #2, but he also can only do so much if he's not put into a situation to succeed.

      That's why I said stats aside. I lived in CO during Allen's college career and didn't have kids at the time so I watched most of his games. Bruh, I'm telling you. Balls just spraying all over the place. The type of throws where you're honestly trying to figure out who he was even trying to throw that one too. It was crazy. Richardson was inaccurate in college but at least you could tell who he was trying to throw it too. He threw a lot of early in the game Cam Newton type balls where it seemed like he was just a little too amped up and everything was a few feet high.

      By Seltzer · Posted

      A lot can change over the next week, but here is my best 53-man roster (note: I'm just basing this on guys on the 90 man roster currently). Obviously there could be trades/ waiver claims/ FA signings.   Offense (25) QB (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton RB (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne TE (4): Tommy Tremble, JT Sanders, Mitchell Evans, James Mitchell WR (7): Tetoria McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Theilen, Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, Jimmy Horn, Brycen Tremayne  OL (9): Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Brady Christensen, Yosh Nijman    Defense (25) DL (6): Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown, Ashawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton, Sam Roberts, Cam Jackson OLB (5): DJ Wonnum, Pat Jones, Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Thomas Incoom  ILB (5): Trevin Wallace, Christian Rozeboom, Krys Barnes, Jon Rattigen, Claudin Cherelus S (4): Trevon Moehrig, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom, Nick Scott  CB (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Corey Thornton, Shemar Bartholomew    ST (3): LS: JJ Jansen  P: Sam Martin  K: Matthew Wright    Would like to hear everyone's thoughts

      He was a more accurate passer at 56.2%. That's what I mean. Even by outlier standards, this dude was inaccurate. Closest I can recall to something like that would have been one of those GT QB's like Reggie Ball. Career 48.6% passer.
