...and confirms that Rivera was being urged to make this move last season.

Quote

After 2016’s 6-10 finish, Rivera was under internal pressure to make a coordinator change. But staunchly loyal and firmly positive, he believed Shula could navigate personnel tweaks to make the offense thrive like it did in 2015. That evolution never happened as the Panthers struggled to establish an identity this season.

Sometimes the passing game worked. More often than not, it didn’t.

The running game finished inside the top five, but it was again largely dependent on Newton’s legs.

The Panthers would too often follow a dominant drive with quarter long-plus stretches that featured few yards and multiple three-and-outs.

Why the Panthers moved on from Mike Shula

Have to wonder what could have been if he'd have made this move a year ago.

That’s what I said in another post.

Ron got pushed, maybe even a deal over his extension. Also his extension is 2 years not more.

that indicates to me that he was put on a short leash too, told to make a move to get it, and it had better get better.

Thats whats crazy to think about, even with our quarter + long droughts...we were still able to put up 24-31 points regularly in the past 3 years...can you imagine a consistant offense?  30+ per game should be no issue with solid OC calling and execution.

Seems pretty clear from Voth's comments (and others by Scott Fowler) that Rivera had come to believe Shula didn't know how to properly use Christian McCaffrey.

Well if it was clear to fans he didn't I mean...

He was pretty late to the party on that one— pretty much everyone called that the day he was drafted.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
