Shula, Zod, and SCP

OK Zod. You and I were pretty adamant all summer about Shula's lack of in-game adjustments and his inability to react to what a defense gives him. I'm still not 100% sold on him because the defenses we've beaten the last 3 weeks aren't really Steel Curtainesque. What will it take for you to eat some Shula Crow? I have to see him successfully call a game against the 9ers and Pats defense before I say I was wrong. What about you?

He wall ill prepared at the start of the season but has improved. It seems they now understand touchdowns are needed to win games in the NFL.

 

Still, I need to see him call a game against a legit defense.

 

We have played 2 games against defense in the top half of the league and lost both. He called awful games against Seattle and Arizona (espescially the second halves )

 

We have the 49ers and Patriots coming up who both have top 10 defenses. If he can call a good complete game against either of those teams I will be a believer.

If we have a strong offensive showing against the 9ers and Pats I will wear a "I was a whiny fan and wrong about Shula" sign around my neck to the Bucs game.

How about you just stop posting? I think everyone would prefer that.

Through the first half of the season (including next week's Atlanta game), our opponents cumulative record stands at 21-38. 

 

In the second half, our upcoming opponents currently have a combined 37-26 record.

 

Let's see how Shula navigates some of those defenses before we drink the kool-aid.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
