Promising article on Shula

The entire article is rooted in the belief that we shouldn't be mad we got second best (second lol) because Jackson may not have wanted to come here.

The only problem being is that we already know that isn't the case. Jackson didn't get the job because Rivera didn't want a guy on staff who pushed him for his. Not promising.

That writer almost makes no sense, regarding Hue Jackson, cause he's a lowly DB's coach now (relatively speaking), and he DID want the Panther OC job. Where's this guy been? He's wrong in his 2nd sentence and first paragraph.

Secondly, all Jackson needed was one good year to have a good offense. He didn't have to be associated with a winner at Carolina. He wasn't going for the Head Coaches job. Just look at Chud? He was the former OC. And after a losing season, he's a head coach now.

To be honest, the article wasn't terribly well written for my taste (sorry Mark9Post, if you're a Huddler). And I don't think the writer convinced me anymore regarding Shula getting the gig. The facts, history and scenarios he presented, weren't strong enough. Plus, he made some assumptions, like "the days of Cam throwing for over 5000 yards is over", cause Shula is allegedly "Ole Skool". Maybe; maybe not. But excuse me? Isn't he a quarterbacks coach? And wasn't he Cam's QB coach? And isn't that supposedly the main reason why he got the job? And the NFL is a QB's, high scoring league--the last we knew, Right? Not saying they won't run the ball. But the end of Air Cammy Cam/Coryell appears to be a wanton assumption on the writers part. The Panthers should do both.

Actually, I liked the New Orleans type of offense the Panthers displayed during Cam's rookie season. That year, he threw for 4150 yards and the team rushed for about 2400. That's the goal/what you want, I think. Something in that area with Cam having less rushing yards--even (no more than 500-700+ yds--mostly off scrambles and a few called run plays a game). That's when the team is unstoppable (4,200+ passing Yds, 2200 rush), and could average 30pts a game.

I was originally against the hiring. Nonetheless, I'm willing to give Shula a chance.

Go Panthers!

This whole statement is rooted on the belief that Rivera doesn't want anyone better than him to take over his job.

You literally have nothing to suggest such a claim. I'd say it's more your opinion on the matter than actual fact. Much like the guy that wrote the article in this thread.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
