Shula, first call of the game

Recommended Posts

Less than seven hours to kickoff, Shula is running out of crayons and word of the street is he just won his first game of connect four.  

Let's get down to business and predict his first play.  I am leaning toward a toss to somebody that lacks the speed to get the edge.

Stewart, up the middle, no gain, but does not fumble.  

this.  But I'll be bold and call a 1 yard gain.  

Shula will want to establish that physical dominance. 

 

my preference, start out in shotgun with CMC in the backfield.  Motion him out and have a short cross route to CMC or Samuel.   We need to establish that we plan to get the rookies involved and plan to get the ball out of Cam's hands quick instead.    Then work in the runs and the deep shots that require Cam sitting in the pocket for long periods.

    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
    • I see the issue, I am not counting his rookie season where he didn't actually play minus a few snaps of garbage time. So by your math that would be his 4th year.
