SHULA better be creative on offense.

This is my fear.  McCaffery and Samuel are both amazing pieces, but when the guy writing the playbook eats crayons, it's hard to be optimistic.  guaranteed, he will run both on end arounds in the first game of the season just like Ginn did all the time last year.

Shula's going to try and do his best Chud impression to save his job, mark my words. Samuels on go routes, screens, and sweeps. CMC as Deangelo Williams meets slot receiver. The Wildcat. Trick plays. It'll be interesting. If Cam gets his short game down this offense will be a defensive coordinator's worst nightmare.

Do you guys even watch the Panthers? The knock on Shula has never been his creativity. Most of y'all whine that he's "too cute" unless it works. Would you prefer Fox's 3rd-and-7 draws? Shula ran the Annexation of Puerto Rico, play actions to Olsen on fourth down, etc. He calls sweeps and fakes and misdirections all the time. Is he the best coordinator in the league? Nah. Does he try new stuff with the personnel he has? Yeah. Maybe to a fault. They entire staff has talked about "evolving" the offense or months now, and they drafted the pieces to make that happen. Whine all you want. I'm excited to see this speed.

Good take @SurfNTurf. Shula doesn't bother me. That the pieces didn't all work together well bothers me. Fans don't have the patience to let the setup from 2 plays ago play out. I'm excited about this draft so far. Just wish Cam could participate in the OTA's & full camp to get familiar with these weapons. I see a slow start for this year. :(

They are gambling HUGE that Oher is OK, that Cam returns to being Cam, that J-Stew stays healthy, that KB is who we thought he was pre-ACL, that Funchess becomes a competent WR2-3, that the aging D-line can be at least average. These are all giant ifs. But if at least some of them happen, plus this new talent? Woooooooo boys...

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
