So when do we see the article come out that Joe Brady went back and watched film of Cam Newton in Mike Shula's offense to find plays for him?

I'm waiting patiently for the article that says Joe Brady went back and watched film of Cam in his time on the Panthers in the past. Maybe it is published by the team itself, maybe published by Joe Person at the Athletic, or who knows. Is it coming??

And should Brady do this? I think of course he should. Cam had a lot of success running the read-option offense for the Panthers in the 2010s, especially in the red zone. He doesn't have his favorite play-action target in Greg Olsen anymore, but there's a lot more to work with weapons wise than say, the 2017 season when the 11-5 Panthers rolled into New Orleans for a playoff game with Brenton Bersin, Kaelin Clay, broken foot Olsen, and banged up shoulder Devin Funchess as his top receivers. Side note what a sad day that was to watch, a day when Cam played out of his mind but his receivers just couldn't get the job done.

Joe Brady should have far more creativity as a play-designer than Mike Shula did. But with the turnover generating defense the Panthers have this season, I hope we can generate some 2015 vibes from this offense.

I’m channeling my inner Bill Belicheat, but you could look at any single wing film from the 1940’s if you need any inspiration on how to use Cam as a runner. 
 

Cam’s arm looked good on that one deep throw to DJ and he’s still got gas in the tank when it comes to running the ball. The hard part is keeping both him and CMC healthy for the next 7 weeks.

If you want to look for inspiration from prior years, you should probably look at 2018.  Prior to TJ Watt ending Cam's shoulder, our offense looked really smooth.  Watch the Ravens game from that year if you want to see what Cam can look like with less Shula and more playmakers.

I mean I know everyone hates Shula as OC but…

Cam went 51-28-1

Playoffs 4 of 5 years 

MVP

it’s not the worst place to look for some plays.  

That is a reluctant pie but there was some good with all these coordinators. Shula gets a lot of hate but the run design concepts were always praised by Greg Cosell with NFL Films.

Like I said in a bother thread Chud and Norv had him at his best. The film that should be looked at is 2011-2012 and 2017. Those seasons were instrumental in how Cam developed from a Qb perspective not just a talent perspective. 2015 was the best year he played not relying on the rest of the team because he was the offense that year.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

2018 pre Watt Cam would be pretty damn nice.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
