Offenses Last Night


Nate Dogg

Recommended Posts

Does anyone else get depressed when watching the offenses in other NFL games? Last night when the announcers were talking about Goff's .46 second release time I couldn't help but think how bad I wished we had even a 4.6 second release time. (Exaggerated a bit I know but not really) It really makes you see how fugging terrible our offensive system is when you see the 49ers hanging 39 points on a respectable Rams defense with Brian Hoyer and a bunch of slightly above average at best skill players.

A quote from halftime last night in regards to Gurley this year versus last - "It's amazing what can happen with a real offensive coordinator." I'm afraid this is unfortunately going to be the case for CMC. In my eyes Shula has already proven through 2 games he just does not have what it takes. The scary thing is... With all the talent we have on this team there's no way they're ever going to be bad enough to blow it all up. We'll always be just good enough for the coaches to justify keeping their jobs. 2015 was our chance and we let it slip. Will we ever be a serious contender again with this coaching staff?

The season will go two ways.

1. Offense starts hitting on all cylinders and team makes a playoff run - optimism for the future

2. Offense is inept and holds back a top-tier defense, team performs below expectations - Shula is fired, (Ron might get the ax and/or Hurney does not become full-time GM) optimism for the future

Hey, remember 2015 when all of the stars aligned, and the Panthers scored points?  Let's talk about that for the next 5 years and give Shula a pass instead of facing the current reality. 

i'm gonna talk down to you and say you don't know football because i watched terry bradshaw in my bellbottoms 40 years ago

Exactly, and yet Shula STILL couldn't seal the deal. This franchise loves living in the past. You make a superbowl and your job is safe for another 10 years regardless of what you do. It's called being content, which is why this franchise STILL doesn't have back to back winning seasons.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
