Scott Turner is Mike Shula, but with a worse father.

You would think after having Shula as OC, Panthers fans would have learned a lesson about nepotism and competence.  But nonetheless, many still have high hopes for Scott Turner, despite the fact he only got the job because of who his dad was.

I would say it is tough to judge his play call based on our current personnel. No one would be that successful with our current Oline. I bitched about it during our preseason game against New England and nothing changed. We need new Guards and Tackles. HELP!!!

I liked some of the things he did like giving Samuel some carries.

Also, loved seeing Thomas balling out today.

Ian has questionable hands and still looks like he struggling with routes.  One time he and a WR were in the exact same area downfield, pretty sure Ian wasn't where he was supposed to be.  I like him as a #2, an Ed Dickson type of guy.  I don't see him as Greg's replacement.

As to the OPs question, I thought Scott showed some imagination.  Not too bad for his first outing.

Fans tend to focus on play calling way too much.  Our offensive line play was terrible, and we are playing with a backup qb.  What plays we call don't really matter much at this point.  

Yep.  I am in no way advocating for Allen to be a starter, but it would be difficult for any young QB's confidence not to be shot by how awful the offensive line play has been.  Allen can't trust the protection at all, and it's not like it's just one position he knows to look out for.  Guys are and have been getting beat across the line all year.  

We have been this bad at the tackle position when we had Byron Bell and Nate Chandler starting, but as an overall unit, this group has been as bad as unit since the John Fox days.  Which sucks considering we have actually made some significant investment there over the last few years.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
