Gil Brandt has lost his damn mind

When you're pecking away at your keyboard,  you don't have to worry about trivialities like team chemistry and players buying into a system. Anyone doubt we have that going for us right now? Didn't think so.

How about our results? Anyone have a problem with that? Back to back division titles, the longest current reg season win streak, scoring 27 a game given our talent, etc.

I know all the cool kids are supposed to hate Shula. This is just a reminder to be careful what you wish for.

Its really all about who would be there in his place... How can you guarantee it without knowing who would be there?

Unless you think he is the best OC in the NFL.....

He's here to do a job, and follow a gameplan that allows our defence to make plays and close out games, which is what he does and has managed to do admirably with a developing QB and very little investment in receivers, RBs or O Line.

You tell me who you think has done a better job with less. Apart from the Pats I don't know if I can answer that.

We don't all remember him the same.

Some seem to remember him as the greatest offensive mind in the history of the Panthers.

The narrative about Chud around here is strange at best. Few remember how bad he was in 2012, and I never got the "he's just auditioning for a HC job instead of trying to win!" I don't understand how sucking and losing gets you a HC job, but what do I know. It worked.

Can't really separate Cam and Shula right now.  In the past it was easy to bag on Shula, but Cam has such a huge part in running the offense now, I don't know that it is fair/possible to separate them and blame Shula for whatever issues you have with our O right now.  OTOH, the trust between Cam and Shula has allowed Cam to play extremely well this year, and I'm not sure that would exist had he been fired like some of us wanted.

Anyway, Id not be surprised if he got some looks if we continue to play well, but I don't know that he would work well as a HC.

he was trying all kinds of crazy poo and running weird experimental formations etc, rather than (at least according to some huddle fans) doing what would work.  TBH, I don't remember 2012's plays well enough to say whether Chud's sucking was just him sucking or him being "experimental."

I see what you're saying. I just never figured anyone would hire a "mad scientist" if his experiments didn't work. (2012 was him going zone read crazy.)

Someone posted in another thread that Greg Cosell was quoted saying that Shula had the most intricate run plays in the NFL. That carries some weight as Cosell knows his poo. As a running team, that bodes well for us if  our run blocking comes together. Our running game usually heats up around this time of year. Look out! J Stew is going to go for over 100 Sunday night!

Yeah I've noticed that he knows a lot of slow developing ways to send rbs up the gut for no gain.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
