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

Just now, gofightwin said:

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

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.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
