Voth suggests Shula could be replaced

Well they will definitely need scapegoats...Rivera will have to throw someone into the fire 

Voth also reported that Shula lobbied that teams would catch up to what they did last year and wanted the organization to provide talent for him to switch things up this year (he lobbied for the 2nd rec TE tonbe added so he can run legit 2 TE sets but our FO made no moves to improve either side of our team for 2016

instead we added a DT and tore our secondary apart 

offense isn't broken...our OL is broke.  Better OCs than Shula can't actually fix what we are forced to use of late

Im sure the Assistant to the Assistant of the equipment staff will be let go as the main culprit to this bad season.  That will definitely right the ship for next year.  Shula will stay in place as a 'great asset' to Rivera.

Funny how the roster is able to score in the first half but unable to score in the second half.

 

well, football coaches are suppose to get leads and then play in a manner to keep leads.

Panthers don't have the talent to do such.

Carolina gets a lead and either attempts to play with a lead (offensive talent can't) or is then forced to continue to play high risk football (which can lead to easy opportunities for an opponent)

Carolina's D is largely responsibile for our bad start and we have now won 3 of the last 4.  So our current record simply is more of a result of the defense.... but that type thought ain't popular.  Team will need a scapegoat and giving a fanbase what they want is the easy and obvious option for them.  

They sacrifice Shula and the fans will gloss over the FO disaster that put us in the hole to begin with and failed to improve the overall team.

I am absolutely just about the last guy to stick up for Shula. But his second half antics aside, he wasn't tasked with assessing our offensive tackle situation in the offseason, only to declare that we're good after watching Newton get harassed for most of the Super Bowl. Only to watch it again, and again, and again since.

I will not forgive our FO for the 2016 offseason. It's put up or shut up next year as far as I'm concerned.

But I have long endorsed the notion Ron would scapegoat coaches....once we are out of it

Dave ain't gonna take it on the chin (and he IMO remains the most responsible for the drop from 2015)....so he will look to Ron to explain it

but Shula is like reason #3 we are not good and removing him doesn't change the other more impactful reasons for the drop off

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
