I'm sure theres plenty more of where that came from. This is just the top 3 google results, with "shula","crow", and "carolinahuddle".

I mentioned it in another thread but I will say it again here. We had more PPG than 5 of 12 playoff teams this year. 

Now this is not to say Shula is some offensive genius. I just agree with Rivera, that a change at OC, would not have yielded better results or taken us to the promise land this year. Nor is it worth the risk and hassle of installing a new offensive playbook for Cam and crew to have to learn.

The fact is, he knew DC's had him figured out before the season started. Even with that said, when you get to week 8 and you know teams are stopping you because you're calling the same plays as last year, you have to move forward. Idk how to do that, but that's what they pay him for. To figure it out, and he needs to. I know the o line plays a part in that but it can be worked around.

This season's results don't take away what he was able to accomplish last year.

Having said that, it seems like 2015 was more of an outlier than the norm. He deserved credit for 2015, but he also deserves blame for 2016. 

Shula performed as well as Rivera and Gettleman performed at their jobs in every year he's been an offensive coordiantor.

Many fans  prefer to have a 1 scapegoat and that they can throw most of the blame on. It's lazy and dumb.

The brunt of the blame belongs to Gettleman and Rivera. 

Shula should shoulder some as well the balance is not there amongst the fans.

Look at this way. If JR shitcanned everyone. 

Shula could possibly get another OC gig,  Ron and Gettleman would have no chance of finding  their same position with another team

Have I ever trusted Shula completely? No, but it's hard to judge him this season when the O-line kept degrading by the week. Lose the war in the trenches and just about any offensive system will break.

I do believe we need more offensive pieces that provide more flexibility on what we could run. Finding better Uglies would help but frankly, what we need most is a semblance of consistency.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
