An underappreciated reason why Cam is so valuable

Keep an eye out on the safety for the Vikings.  He knows he has to get to Cam if he keeps it on the bootleg.  So once Jonathan Stewart breaks it to the secondary, there was no one left to stop Stewart resulting in the easy touchdown.

It's things like this that you have taken into account when understanding just how good and valuable Cam Newton really is

By far the best play Shula has drawn up all year. 

It was a good play design.

Except that if one of the offense of lineman didn't get it blocked up we would have had internet offensive coordinators saying "derp we ran the ball against the nine-man Box. Shula is such an idiot we should fire him"

And they would have been right. It's only right if the players pull it off.

If that is your standard of what is good play-calling and what isn't.  There will never be an offense of coordinator in the history of the Panthers that you'll ever be satisfied with

Damn that sure looks like a running back that is slow indecisive and finished,...

im still waiting for the haters to explain themselves out of this one.

Clearly that was a blown coverage and not knowing what the other team will do....

if Shula would anticipate the other team more often, maybe he would be a decent OC.

Wasn't so much of a blown coverage as it is the fact that when teams play us they always have to account for the quarterback.  Safety look like he had the QB which left them with essentially zero coverage.

At least that's how I see it looking at that play

Never was a play designed to be stopped.  In theory every play is perfect.  The only problem is that the defense has to do what you expect it to be doing.

For instance, you could draw the perfect play against the perfect defensive matchup possible.  Now say a defender accidentally misreads the offense And Is out of position.  Now the defender being not where he is supposed to be actually ends up making the play, int, pbu, whatever.  The play was perfect but it failed.

Aside from anomalies like that, there are situations that dictate choices.  In these situations such as late game, 3rd and long, down by 6, a pass is expected.  What kind of pass here is important.  Quick out route or 7 step drop on a double move with no checkdowns?  

Our staff shows no rhyme or reason to the play calling in specific situations.  They just try poo.  Cam is getting freedom to audible but it’s still the same hairbrained plays designed by Shulatic.

    • We will make it interesting. I think we'll be on a roll by then.
    • Especially glad there's no Thursday games. I hate them. They're dangerous. They really fug up a routine and unless you're team is coming off a bye, they play the game with little rest or prep.
    • Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do. But looking at that later schedule and it's not horrible. We've got the eagles and chiefs....that's scary, but then we've got the cardinals and cowboys at home...and it's the cowboys in December. When have they been scary in December? And we've got division games in there as well. I think we'll do ok. The more I look at it, the better I feel about it.
