Norv ~ Shula?

[Manther]

 

I think what PanthersFilm is missing here is that CMC has HAD ROOM TO RUN and Cam has had TIME TO PASS  with a hobbled/makeshift Oline.  

 Norv is less predictable than Shula, schemes and adjusts better the Shula.  Norv>>>Shula

[Mistuh Jones]

Dude. Panthers film room eh? Do these guys need Lasik?

Shula would never have guided this team back vs. Philly.  Never, ever.  That was Norv.

I think it's a valid point and something we will never learn for sure.  To say the offensive weapons are vastly improved from last year is an understatement. I man even looking at our offense with Ted Ginn and without Ted Ginn shows a huge difference.  Factor in the minus Kelvin "Krispy Kreme" Benjamin there is a huge improvement as seen near the end  of last year.   Just the difference in CMC, last year he was not breaking "any" arm tackles.  This year he is breaking damn near all of them.  Not to mention the subtraction of Kalil..sheesh. 

If anything Norv brings confidence that he know's what he is doing.  That is huge in itself.  But if everyone is honest, the offense doesn't look hugely different.  Maybe more bootleg action.  Lots of shorter passes.  Cam isn't getting the ball out any quicker. Just more willing to take the short passes.  The team speed is night and day from last year.  So could we have been successful with Shula still at the helm?  Maybe.  But sometimes a different voice is necessary and Norv has the capital to back up his words.

Or had Cam seeing the fewest sacks of his career despite being behind an offensive line that is patchwork at best.

Xs and Os, not jimmies and joes

i don’t care how much talent you bring in, if your overall scheme sucks then you’re going to get your ass beat in the box score. nfl teams today are more even in terms of talent than in years past.

they just being nice, no one actually believes that

Norv   Shula

[KillerKat]

Bullshit

[Untouchable]

Eh, he is not far off.  Scheme really has been about the same (which I think is his point) but Norv has significantly better weapons to work with.  Norv also is a much better situational play caller and its hard to argue how he is helping the patchwork OL succeed too.

[JawnyBlaze]

Couldn’t be further from the truth. 

[panthers55]

Depends on what you are looking at. Scheme is similar, talent is much improved. Cam is much improved and the specific adjustments to each team is much improved.  Overall we are much better off this year versus the past. I will leave it to others to cast blame or credit where they want

It's the difference between a finger painter and an artist. They may have many of the same tools and canvas available, but the outcome is going to be massively different.

[Bartin]

What if Cams hurt shoulder and inability to throw the ball deep has made him a better QB by forcing him to want to go to the quicker developing short routes, get the ball out faster, more consistently gain yardage and get sacked much less often?

I don’t know if I’m buying my own dumb theory yet but I’m thinking about it.
