Does the injury to KB give Shula another free pass this season?

Fearing that this will be the case. I agree that Shula is garbage but in reality what can he do? Our receiving core is now worse than it was before Week 1 last season and Oher and Remmers are still pretty suspect on the outside.  Olsen is elite and Cam is one of the most dangerous QBs in the league, but outside of the huge assumption that Stewart stays healthy is this an offense set up for failure regardless of who the OC is?

I hope not, but probably.

Shula is a joke.  In his only other stint as an NFL OC, the Bucs never ranked higher than 22nd in offense under him.  When Alabama for some reason hired him as their head coach, he barely broke .500 in 4 seasons there.  At Alabama.  Struggled to break .500.  AT ALABAMA.

You can give this guy everything and he'll still fail.  Maybe he's a good QB coach or some other type of assistant, but when you give him real responsibility, he's a proven failure.

Sorry, but it's true.

Why do people keep saying poo like this like it is a fact? We didn't know how KB was gonna play last year if I recall... Yeah, he ended up playing well, if you look at the numbers (although I dare say that half of his yards and TD's seemed to come on the tail end of blowout losses, FLAME ON!) Yeah, he was primed to have a good season THIS year, but why compare it to last year? We didn't have Ginn last year, Brown has a year under his belt now, and we brought in some guys that might actually have a little to show. Cam is healthy, Stew might have something to prove, and we have the best LB corps in the league. The wheels aren't off the wagon just yet.

Who thinks that Shula got a pass last year or even in 2013?  He didnt.  He had a very efficient effective offensive attack in 2013 and we went 12-4.  It isnt as if we sucked since he has been here.  Our record while he is OC is 19-12-1 which matches our best 2 year record in our franchise.  Last year the story was a fruit basket turnover on offense, the worst receiving corps in the league, a hurt quarterback, a poor offensive line and running backs who couldn't stay healthy.  And yet we were still more efficient than we should have been given the problems.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
