"Chud's in Cleveland and We're Going to Leave Him There" DWill

I really disagree with your sentiment on this bro. I think that Shula is going to be a Great OC for us.

He knows these players better than anybody else,

He knows Cams tendencies better than anybody else

He has way more talent than he did in TB

He's had time to reflect and knows the public perception of him as an OC (which he'll correct)

And most importantly imo he saw first hand last year with Chud at the helm, what can happen when you try too hard and things don't work. I think this was a great hire.

I could be wrong... But imo there is NO excuse why he shouldn't be very very successful with the personnel he has been given.

If I end up being wrong, well... Then it will have been another bad year. I think bad years are over with for a long time tbh... We'll experience them again sometime in the future, but we're done with bad years for a while.

Life isn't Rudy. Nobody wills their way to victory.

There is the chance he turns it around but i'm not betting that someone who has shown multiple times he's not up to the job will suddenly be up to the job.

Can't blame DeAngelo for being bitter about Chud, tried to turn him into a read-option back and then benched him for performance after only giving him an avg. of 6 carries a game. 

 

It's funny how much better DeAngelo got (and how many more games we won) when we went back to doing what he was good at.

If we hadn't seen this with Chud before, I'd be skeptical... but one year Derek Anderson was in the friggin pro bowl and the next year the Browns offense was a joke and he was getting released. 

 

Chud seems to be really good at designing an offense and terrible at sustaining or continuing to evolve the offense he designs, it's like he gets caught in his own web.

I like how the angle of the panthers offense this entire offseason was that the last guy who walked out the door was the problem

No maybe you didn't do very well the last two years because you suck and are just soaking up cap like a sponge because you peaked years ago and for some reason Marty didn't want you to underachieve anywhere else, like Dallas, where it would've been really funny

My take?

Chud played his cards to the strength of his best player. Generated franchise best production.

The former best players didn't like it. But they aren't the key anymore.

Should he have been more balanced? Sure... but situational playing was a bigger issue than our offense as a whole

    • I agree with this. Florida is going to be tough to beat. But they can’t keep that group together much longer so the hurricanes window might open a little wider.  My problem is the series should have looked the way it did in games 4 and 5. From the second period of game 1 thru 3 were an abysmal effort and the players just looked defeated. I was very disappointed in the overall effort until games 4 and 5. I think it’s very fair to ask if Rod is the right man for the job right now. If they’d gotten swept again and they lost game 4 like 5-0, id say he might need to go. But I think the team bounced back enough to give him another year with the front office going all in to bolster the roster. Failure to reach the finals with a full push to build the roster to win now, Rod goes next offseason, and the team focuses on retooling around their younger players. 
    • Look very carefully at the jersey numbers and let it sink in.
    • The team had a great season all things considered and definitely overachieved.  I don't think many of us had our expectation level set at deep playoff run after the 2nd Rantanen trade. With the current league format, someone has to come out of the Metropolitan division.  Look at the teams we have to climb over to get to the ECF.  It's not exactly a division that's full of contenders.  Smack around the Islanders and the Devils and now you're in the ECF against the survivor from the better division.
