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.

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

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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
