Shula named OC of the Year by PFF

I have my issues with PFF but it is nice to see Shula get some positive attention.  He has held up very well to a lot of negative takes and deserves a ton of credit.

Despite losing his best wideout before the season, Shula molded an explosive offense perfectly suited to his quarterback’s skill set. Somehow he managed to get the best out of nearly everyone he had at his disposal, with only three players who were on the field for 600 or more snaps finishing with a below-average grade. The story of the Carolina Panthers since GM Dave Gettleman came on board is a remarkable one, and integral throughout has been how Shula has built and improved the offense.

Other Panther coaches mentioned;

WR Coach  Second runner-up: Ricky Proehl, Carolina Panthers

DC  Second runner-up: Sean McDermott, Carolina Panthers

Linebackers Coach  First runner-up: Al Holcomb, Carolina Panthers

Secondary Coach   Second runner-up: Steve Wilks, Carolina Panthers

Shula's success is a product of Rivera's personality and coaching style, which is in effect "Don't be afraid to adapt, change, grow, learn".

It doesn't hurt that Shula also has the most dangerous weapon in the league at QB.

If Shula were smart, he'd stay in Carolina and rack up the Super Bowl rings.

Rivera, certainly didn't always feel, act or coach this way, I tell you! LOL

    • I think what makes a qb elite is when every week you think your team has a chance to win because of your qb. No matter who they play, they always make you feel like you have a chance. I have not gotten that feeling once while watching Bryce. 
    • Great point!  The quotes from O'Connell about teams failing rookie Qbs and the one about how you coach them after 3 picks and a loss were really interesting.  To me, an idiot with a keyboard, it means NFL teams need to be patience if they are going to have quality QB play. So bringing me to Bryce, is there some benefit to being patient.  I know it's not a particularly popular opinion around here, and even I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.  Most QBs, when benched lose their confidence.  It takes a LONG time to get it back.  Bryce on the other hand was benched, and came back a different player.  I feel like that's worth a lot more than the physical talents of a guys like AR15... I think Bryce has the mental make up to be a good NFL QB.  His problem will always be his tools.  Now it's on coaching to work around that.  Bryce is more physically gifted than late years Drew Brees (low bar, I know).   While I'm content to see what happens this season, there's a small part of me that says...maybe we should see what grows?  (let me duck and hide from the well earned vitriol the Panthers have earned). Then again, I agree that some guys get it while others just don't.  I'm still hoping for the Panthers and Bryce to find success this season.  But if not, I won't be too surprised if the plug is pulled and there is a restart.
