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.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
