"It’s probably too late for coordinator Mike Shula to install a new offense, but if head coach Ron Rivera wants to save his job, it is a risk worth taking.

If not, they will be watching the new coaching staff installing that offense around Newton next year."

This guy probably doesn't realize this is the same offense we have been running for 2 years and Newton has put up record pace rushing numbers and doing it all.

Lets completely disregard we have only played one game.....against the best secondary and one of the fastest sideline to sideline D's. You have to limit yourself if you want to compete with them

Why won't fans and analysts WAIT to watch this Sunday's game before we crucify? 125 yards and 7 points appears very discouraging on the surface but I like the looks the offense got and how accurate (other than two passes) and composed Cam appeared in the pocket.

 

It's called PTSD from last year's "fool me once..."  

 

That's not so hard to understand.  Win this week and next without looking offensively anemic, and the first game's offensive malaise is but a bad memory---a hiccup towards the post-season.

I understand the concern but I think it's far too late to change the offense now. Furthermore, while Cam didn't take any deep shots down the field, I feel a bit optimistic about the playcalling. I think we're simply lacking chemistry.

 

Chemistry and at least real talent on the oline...I'm hoping Shula can break Cam of his bad reading habits but that ship may have already sailed.

Bad reading? His first touchdown came via a blitz he recognized pre-snap. Hell, his touchdown last week against The Seahawks was a thing of beauty. He needs to improve a tad more but young QBs tend to lock onto their favorite targets. Kaepernick and RG3 are prime examples.

 

 

I was referring to his locking-on tendencies, yes.  I will always love me some 89, but there are times Lafell is open that Cam just doesn't register.  Going to be interesting to see how we address OL and WR in the offseason since both could really use high picks.

Good article. It's a terrible feeling watching how San Fran uses Kaepernick, knowing we could do that and more. Instead we're stuck with Shula and a legion of good ole boy fans who still think "pound the rock and hit  'em with play action! that's how you win right thur derp!"

 

Such a shame Cam's talent is being wasted as it is.

LaFell being ignored at times makes me question the connection between him and Cam. They appear to be on the same page in one week but not the following. I feel he's not as confident in Brandon as he is in Olsen or Smitty. His chemistry with Edwards, Hixon and Ginn could be much worse.

Agreed, we need both. I wonder who goes first and if we move up to acquire either one.

LaFell was Cams 3rd read on most plays. As has been said before Cam does not have time to make it to his 3rd read. That's coaching, not Can.

This article and a lot of the talk about what the Panthers need to do on offense is garbage.  So basically this article wants the same scheme as last season or similar??   If I recall, myself and many others, at least here in Panther land were calling for a more traditional offense.  That read options, as a base offense was crap.  I for one, LIKED, the formations seen last weekend.  It was not perfect and without a doubt the offense needs to open things up, etc .... but maybe I am not seeing these other game right, but it sure looked like to me all these other "running QB's" except for maybe RG III , looked really good in the pocket.  Then if anything they make things happen when they scramble.  That is the kind of QB Cam will and can excel at.  Let him pass the ball, learn how to run an offense and use his legs when he needs to.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
