Offensive coordinator of the year

• Mike Shula, Carolina: The Panthers don’t have the gaudy statistics of a New England, Arizona or Cincinnati. But they also don’t have a true No. 1 receiver either, and that hasn’t stopped Carolina from winning every game it has played. Shula has done a masterful job of creative play-calling and staying true to the offensive blueprint in Charlotte, which is built around Cam Newton’s dual-threat talents and a diverse, Jonathan Stewart-led running game. The Panthers know who they are on offense this season, and it’s working.

Norman, Rivera, and Short get kudos in the article as well.  But this one REALLY stuck out to me.

but huddle experts have been saying the opposite... at least until obvious punched them right in the face.  still, some may argue but goons are gonna goon.

i realized from the Deangelo TD run in SF back in 13 that Shula or the offense has come up with some ridiculously good runs.  it is just now where everything has come to fruition with elevated line play and Cam getting a hold of the QB position at a serious level

Carolina is slowly getting recognized as a whole, this team is special.

Didn't Rivera say today that Cam calls 70% of the plays now? 

[nickzz]

i'm going to disagree

[London Loves Luke]

Even though I agree with them I'm completely disregarding anything from Sports Illustrated. Those guys are dicks that have never seen a Panthers' game from the way they normally write about us so no idea how they can comment on Shula.

 

[GhostP.]

If he's the OC of the year then make PU our official spokesman also .. His face needs to be everywhere .. and yes, I'm looking at you ecu88 and a couple of others !  lol

The apocalypse must be near.  TWO positive articles about the Panthers in 1 day at SI.  No way.  Prepare for the end of the world as we know it!

No. That is not at all what was said. On 70% of the plays Shula sends out a formation and a couple of different plays and lets Cam read the defense and decide which play will work best against what he sees. Also, it was Shula that designed that offense for him and we are on an 11 game winning streak while using it.
