Mike Shula wants to evolve

“In the Super Bowl, how many passes do you think Tom Brady threw to his backs? Mostly completed, right?” Shula said. “So maybe sometimes it turns into just a four-yard gain. But I’ll take a four-yard gain. . . .

They’re glorified runs sometimes, but they work and it doesn’t matter what you call them.”

i hope this means no more run run pass every series. Dare I say, im kind of interested in seeing what his coloring book looks like this year.

Surely Shula saw this before. I cant fathom he didnt. Fore sure 2 new draft picks didnt show him the light of that logig, becuse if it did he should get his ass out of here! Short yardage passes have been eating us alive for several years, and really its not that hard to do. Dink and duck as so many like to say, but wait...here comes the x- factor. Cam is too much ALPHA for such a scheme. A specimen like Cam cant play skinny white qb football.

For those that say Shula should have done this years ago. When did two players like CMC and Samuel ever fall to us in the draft before when we didn't have a desperate need to fill other positions? Gentleman was not about to draft a small RB/WR when we had D-Will and J-Stew. I think signing Ginn and Fozzy was an attempt to get the closest thing they could find though.

To his credit, idk if he really had the tools. Or maybe that wasn't the offense his boss (Rivera) wanted to run? I'm desperately trying to look on the bright side and stay excited about next season.

Losing Smith and Gross was pretty tough and replacing those guys just didn't happen. Now Shula is in hot water. He has to make McC and Samuel stars in our offense. We've brought in Cotchery, the slowest WR in Panther history, to coach these guys up, but I know Shula is worried. He's terrible at adjustments and creativity. This may be the draft that purges Shula.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
