Norv Turner's play design

Man, seeing these well executed play designs is a breath of fresh air. Did you see the blocking scheme on CMC's TD as well? It was sick. This is to all of those who said it was the "players not executing" when Shula was here. Good play designs and a good scheme matters. Now if only we got rid of Shula earlier we would already have a ring. This offense is about to blow up.

Remember, multiple teams didnt want norv because his play calls were meh... I dont say that because hes bad, but just to point out how low we had set the bar with Mike Shula at the helm.  In fact, I think he'll have a resurgence due to never having someone as dynamic as cam newton and CMC is looking like the real deal, but remembering him being moved on from can remind us of how bad shula was.

Cleveland w/ Chud and no offensive talent.

Minnesota w/ Zimmer and a little more offensive talent. 

Carolina with w Rivera, and the best offense skill position wise we've likely ever had as far as potential. 

I'm not gonna hold those last two stops against him given the situations.

These people exist?

I see you haven't been around here very long, so you have a perfectly valid excuse not to have known this.

But the answer to your question is, yes, at the very least they existED.  Now whether they'll every bring up their formerly proud defense of Shula's "brilliant schemes" is another question.  They'll likely let sleeping dogs lie in that regard.

      Meh… I wish there was a network that has all sports.  This thing will fail.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
