Tolbert had one carry today

This, to me, was Shula's biggest flaw today. In a game dominated by pouring rain, needing to establish the run and stay balanced, with a lead for much of the game, with Cam struggling to make throws and receivers struggle to make catches, he chose to call Tolbert's number once.

 

Once. One time.

 

Tolbert is one of the best weapons on this team and we pretended he didn't exist. In Shula's defense, Tolbert is best in short yardage and we were facing 3rd-and-longs all day, but still, I don't see how you don't do a better job of incorporating him into the gameplan.

 

Minor complaint, I'm glad we played well enough to win, but I hope we fix this for ATL and our impending playoff game.

I can't pie this enough.

 

in the pouring rain, should have ran Tolbert on first and second down.  Instead, we were determined for the boom or bust of Williams, who was more bust than boom today and was completely ineffective in the second half due to not being able to cut anymore because of weather.  In a way, My mind still doesn't believe this game happened today after the massive amount of heartbreakers we lost the past 2 seasons.

 

All of that said, This game was huge for us, but next week is just as important as this game.  We can rest then, we're 1 week away from being in position to make a super bowl run.

I agree, I was saying this during the game day thread, in the red zone we decided to pass or the 3rd and 2 and I was screaming Tolbert!!!! Tolbert!!!! Guess Shula did not hear me.

In further defense of Shula, we are heavily limited by our offensive line full of my-size barbies and Steve Smith's absence for 3 quarters.

 

meh dwill still got 12 carries, and we had a couple short yardage plays where tolbert seemed to be the one who should get the ball

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By CRA · Posted

      in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.

      He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot.

      This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
