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.

So how do we get better?

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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
