Is Shula to blame or the return of KB?

Lets say both are to blame and its just one struggle (lets ignore the oline for 1 sec because its more than just that)

I'm going to slightly take up for Shula here and say I don't believe last year was an anomaly. I think Shula benefited from not having a WR he "has" to get involved. Now you can blame Shula for struggling with a number 1 receiver, but that's what it was. 2014 was also a struggle with KB so signs point to the disconnect being there

Is it time to stop the traditional 1,2,3 WR offense? Is it time to stop treating Benji as the number 1? Is it time to involve Philly, Bersin and maybe even Byrd in to this offense, maybe go back to a 3,3,3 offense giving Cam more options instead of just always following his number 1 read first then his next? Cam is best in a offense with a quicker pace, more options, and he makes the decisions. Can this be done with Benji? This offense gets stuck in 2nd halves of games and its one reason we're 3-6. Its almost as if defenses have 2 game-plans for the 1st half and 2nd half

I blame Cam for using him as a crutch for poor decision making and I blame Shula for not factoring this into the gameplan and drawing up more effective plays. Smitty was the same deal but a guy that can get open for a deep ball is a more effective panic button for Cam than guy he has to hit between the numbers in the middle of traffic.

Gettleman shares blame too because there's no force feeding Benji if the o-line was competent.

KB is a huge asset. however he can be a dumbass. all of his mistakes are stupid ones resulting from not concentrating. he needs to get his head in the game with some consistency and we'll be fine.

One of his knocks coming out was drops, and lapses in concentration.  Sometimes they get better....most times not.

I'm still a huge fan of his though....can be a game changer if used correctly.

Can't really ignore the oline they were horrible in run blocking, which made us one dimensional majority of the game, KB is only effective running certain routes like slants and hitches, we need to upgrade the running game or get a true #1 wr. Fix that and the offense will be worlds better. Until then can't really fault the oc

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
