Really Ron? Wants to keep same staff

Why would you want to keep a staff that hasn't had back to back winning season. To keep a OC just because we hit 15-1 once and lost the SB is doing the same thing over and over expecting lightening to hit again. You have to evolve and the same people calling the plays will never do that.

First things first... I hate Shula with a passion and hope he get struck by lightning. Dude refuses to abandon the read option for a traditional offense, even though read option gets stuffed every play and Stewart's #s from it make him look horrible. Look what DWill did in a real offense... if we were to keep Shula and get rid of Stewart,  I feel like he would lead the league in rushing, dude is far better then DWill. That's just the run game haha don't get me started on how good we could be with a legit real offense.

 

But real talk, if we were to get a new OC, the change right away would look a lot better because there would be no film on us, but once a few games pass, if they didn't change up the game plan, it would just look plain and average, I fear that's what we are destined to have unless we get a whole new coaching change. Rivera gonna be Rivera, regardless of the coordinators

you touched on what the biggest issue is with the offense.  Its predictable.  The Denver broncos even said Carolina didn't switch anything up.  This is pretty much Shulas weakest point.

My 2017 wish is Rivera will look at Shula's game day play calling and design from a defensive coordinator's vision. Rivera is a fine defensive coach, but not sure he sees from our offense what our opposition does, especially in the 2nd half.

I think a few teams also have said that we make zero adjustments at halftime, Denver just sticks out the most cuz they were the first this year. I have no clue how we dominant a game like that for first half, then come out second half thinking we can just do the same poo and win.... against a team that embarrassed us in the last game we played. It's kinda sad when you have higher expectations and know your team has the talent, but lacks creativity to sustain effectiveness

    • To rub salt in the wound when you look back to what were considered some of the most underwhelming resulting seasons in Panthers history before the Tepper's came along we still managed a top 20 passing offense with journeyman Matt Moore and the ghost of Jake Delhomme in 2009. And Steve Smith was 44th in the league in YAC so it was not a chunk play pass offense. Obviously the run game was dominant with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Wiliams but comparatively the run game in 2009 only amassed 500 more rushing yards than the 2025 Panthers in a down year for Chuba Hubbard. It shows just how comically desperate we have become to adjust standards that actually used to mean something.
    • I wouldn't have picked up the option, to me he's that replaceable. I think the Panthers are taking a more cautious strategy, not ready to move on yet but also holding off on committing to him until the last possible time.  Basically, he's a competent NFL QB. He's bottom third in the league. That's actually not a terrible thing. You can win some with a bottom third QB. If over time he takes a few steps forward he might be a median level QB. I think those are the kinds of steps that Canales is talking about. If you've truly got a median level QB, it's probably worth keeping him as opposed to roll on the dice in the draft. But just to be super clear, I don't think he is capable of taking those steps, and I think we should and will move on after the season
    • Unfortunately this is more wishful thinking than anything. The problem is the bar is so low for what they consider success for Bryce Young. I mean we have yet to field even a top 25 passing offense with Bryce Young heading into his fourth season and it's basically considered a when not if we begin contract extension talks with him.
