My biggest concern with it, outside of not having a QBs coach (and I'm really hoping that's just untrue) is that there's not much to work with. Chud was bright, had Turner to bounce off, and I don't know how much he had Shula's input but Shula could provide input based on his sense of Cam.

Shula has Newton in his ear, no QBs coach, an inexperienced WRs coach, and a very experienced RBs coach. It leans run heavy on influence, and I don't know that there's enough experience in the passing game spots. Which would've been resolved with a QBs coach.

I do think Hoener can become a larger asset, and he's at times been the guy in the coach's box (that might become he and Proehl?). They definitely need to drop in an offensive QC guy, and in my opinion, another offensive assistant.

The team site article about the changes doesn't actually say that Shula will do double duty. Pretty sure it was Person who said that. And the staff page lists Shula under only a single title (OC).

Agree they'll need an offensive QC. And like you, I'd prefer a separate QB Coach, Ramsdell likely being the most obvious choice but Bates an option also. And isn't Jim Zorn available too?

yeah, Zorn is, and he did that couple of years under Cam Cameron so he'd have some idea. It would make sense for Shula to want to do both jobs, I just don't tihnk it's for the best overall. It's a very 1980s thought, not having a QBs coach. Ramsdell would be a massive upgrade from no one obviously, but I don't know that it doesn't make more sense to go with Norv (or if Martz surfaces in Oakland).

Either way, they've gotta have the third-tier guys on offense (Brown notwithstanding), and IMO, an asst ST guy too.

Pags staying hurts at LBs, nothing on Babich and I guess they're talking to Van Gorder.

Word within the past hour that Bob Babich has been named the Jaguars DC, so he's out :(

Person reports LB Coach options include Brian Van Gorder and Jaguar LB Coach Mark Duffner.

Duffner's got a lot of college experience bur has been coaching in the pros since 1997 with the Bengals, Packers and Jaguars.

I remember Van Gorder from the years he spent as the Falcons DC. Odd looking guy. Looks like the majority of his experience is college coaching.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      If it’s all the same to you guys, I’d like to use this thread for Tuesday nights game as well to keep this hate going. I have a feeling Tuesday vs the panthers is going to be violent in that arena.    @LinvilleGorgecan you please add “and Tuesday” to the game thread?  They play the Panthers again Tuesday. Thank you sir!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
