89 million dollar backfield - update

The problem there is.. that last year we had the same OL but the RBs took a nosedive.. who do you blame most there?

We don't have the same OL now....slightly different to start the year as well.

Blame is easy. Chud.

my post in another thread...

carolina's first offensive series went 5 plays for 19 yards.

stewart accounted for 18 of those yards on the first 2 plays...immediately chud ignores stewart and the next 3 plays are on newton for a whopping total of 1 yard.

chud needs to understand that the offense can be centered around someone other than cam newton.

stewart should have touched the ball 10-15x in the first half alone.

same thing with olsen. he got hot, chud abandons him and tries to put the game on newton's shoulders.

bottom line, defenses have figured out that all they have to do focus on newton. everyone else is irrelevant.

Firing Coaches mid season accomplishes nothing end of story, with a new GM couching staff will be gutted at the end of the season anyways so please think before you post

Disagree....

Young QB should factor in.....7 more games going in this direction won't be good for Cam big picture. Offensively, a new direction and mindset could be a good thing.

I think a change in OC should be made. No point firing Rivera though, agree there.

Who do you bring in though? nobody worth anything is available, because they have their own jobs. so for argument sake right now just give me 3 names (HC/OC/DC)and I'll concede this argument, but the problem is you can't because there isn't anyone.

if you are going to make a stand with an argument at least pretend you have a solution to the problem

Wouldn't bring in anyone( that would be pointless).....let Shula call a traditional boring play action offense. It would play to our talent. Take pressure off OL and Cam. Let Rivera go down with the ship. Try to salvage a young QBs confidence.....Shula seems to be the best fit for that role.

I said that in another thread.

Firing Rivera is pointless. Letting Chud go isn't pointless....he is following the blueprint for ruining a young QB. These are the years where you can haunt the rest of his career.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
