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.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
