I wish we can drop off Shula in GB and not pick him up

​

I'm hoping for better.  I'm really really keeping my fingers crossed.

But if there's a guy who can look at Cam, KB, Funch, Ginn, and Thor and think "best strategy? run over tackle, run over guard, third and long pass, punt!" its Mike Shula.

Being able to run the ball is a fantastic luxury.  Just ask the Seahawks.

But its a passing league.  The rules are SET UP to pass the ball.  Use those rules to your damn advantage!

This kid has been maligned and criticized, but I think most of his perceived problems -- throws too hard, lacks accuracy -- are more in the public's imagination than anything. 

The good feels abound in that article. Even Casserly toned down his "red flags". But Brandt is right. I pay close attention to Rodgers, he's my 2nd favorite QB, & I see the similarities. Cam needs time. They forget how he started his rookie year on lockout. No other first pick had to do what he did to start his career.

I'll beat the dead horse again.  Until the albatross known as Shula is removed, we will not know the true potential of Cam as a NFL QB.

Unfortunately ... I believe you. Given the right OC, they would leverage Cam's strengths and not rely on them as a last resort.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
