What kind of offense do you want to see next year?

[Cyberjag]

In the Fox era we've been using a stripped down version of the Coryell offense. Basically, it's a power running game with a vertical passing attack, and the only difference between what Coryell ran in the 70s and what we've been doing under Fox is Coryell used more receivers.

I'm assuming that most people here would like to see a more wide-open offense. Are you looking for a Martz-type system (Coryell taken to the outer limits), a west coast offense, or something out of left field? What do you think?

One that has a playbook.

[YoungPanthers89]

one without checkdowns

[Kyle82]

I just want one that can give our qb more than 2 seconds to get rid of the ball.

A power running game that doesn't run dive plays on 1st and 2nd down every time. Also, would be nice to see some passes that aren't check downs. I am not asking for much ....

[SorthNarolina]

We have the recievers, runningbacks, and 4 offensive lineman that would allow us to run whatever system we want.

If we get a healthy line, a new starting OG, and a competent QB we'll be fine.

As long as they put points on the board I don't care what style of offense they run.

[Dpantherman]

one that can score more points than the other team

I would like to see one that uses the tight end as more than just a blocker, uses more screens and short passes in the middle. I like the run and want to see it too, but it seems like the Panthers run and then heave it down field too often (no short passes). I don't know what the name of that offense would be, but that would be nice.

An exciting one. Something that keeps you guessing and keeps a defense off-balance. With the offense we have witnessed these past few seasons, it almost seems too much to ask for. A new coach should utilize all of our weapons (AE, Goodson in the passing game, Rosario, and Barnidge going vertical).

I really see Richardson going with a new philosophy, something to keep pace with the present style of NFL football. It just makes so much sense to go the Luck/Harbaugh route. Many games are turning into shootouts and we need to be able to score points.

Anything but west coast offense.

[frash.exe]

something that has a little less emphasis on long developing timing vertical routes and is a little more QB friendly and not dependent on play action

[tarheelpride]

a competent one

[bleys]

started to write quite a bit.. but really the biggest thing I want to see are gameplans that take advantage of mismatches.

there is no reason we haven't put Goodson in the slot with Gettis and Smitty outside and can't find mismatches.. even a bad OLine and incompetent QB could hit Goodson over the middle a couple times a game..

with better coaching, I would expect better strategy rather than "running it 1st, 2nd, and maybe pass on 3rd"..

screen passes being taught and executed more often.. shorter passing is an aspect of a running game.. I don't understand why we don't try to get our QB more in sync, especially if we are having OLine troubles and our QB is a ROOKIE.. shorter routes should more often than not mean getting the ball out faster..

whether it's coryell, west coast, short passing, spread, etc.. bottom line is finding out what we need week to week to take advantage of the defenses weakness and teaching our players how to execute..

[pantherfan81]

One coached by an offensive mind with a franchise QB at the helm. Don't care what type as long as those two go hand in hand.
