Mike Shula not worried about slow starts

Also sound like Cam doesn't usually agree with the play calling

"His comfort level continues to grow," Shula said of Newton. "He's communicating more with all of the receivers. When your quarterback has a better feel for what you're doing, you give him some more freedom at the line of scrimmage.

"His ideas -- don't tell him I said this -- are a lot better than they used to be. He'll see things that we don't see as coaches. Sometimes we overthink things. He says, ‘Coach, let's not make it too hard. All we've got to do is that.' "

This offense will always be what it is as long as Shula is here. We've seen many times how much better things go when Cam has more freedom at the line. That game in New Orleans last season is a perfect example.

 

It's a damn shame they continue to handcuff Cam.

"I'd probably be more worried if we had scored on every drive," Shula said with a laugh as he gave ESPN.com his state-of-the-offense address. "I mean, you want to look at consistent progress day in and day out.

"Let's just not focus on starting fast. Let's focus on it doesn't matter what part of the game it is, if a guy is open let's hit him."

 

this makes me want to punch a baby

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
