What does the Ramsdell hiring say about Shula's future?

if i was Shula i would be looking over my shoulder, its going to be hard to have someone more qualified than he is at running the offense the panthers run. if we struggle I can see Shula being phased out or even fired

I can see it now. Ramsdell will be behind Shula in the booth and every time Shula calls a run up the gut, Ramsdell will let out a loud exhale and mumble "that's not what I would do.....".

I too think shula gets an unfair rip about last year. We lost half our starting line for the year and still got to the playoffs.

I certainly dont like them saying we had hundred yard rushing games either bc those came from newton scrambling.

But I do hope that we draft some capable linemen that can pancake the hell out of someone.

While I disagree with you regarding Shula at this point, damn that's funny. I envisioned it and started to LOL :-)

hate to be that guy.  Yes, the Ravens won the Super Bowl that year.  Jim Caldwell is also awful.  What a terrible analogy.

 

Caldwell no more deserved that Lions job than you did.  Plus, the idea that the Ravens hired Caldwell as a "Quarterbacks coach", quoting it as if the job itself is somehow a farce or a coverup to overthrow Cameron, seems kinda ignorant.  They filled the position because they had an opening.  They got the best coach that fit their offense. 

 

He was overrated at Wake.  I had a chance to hear him speak once--I could not believe he was a college coach (at the time).  His hiring gives me hope that I too can coach in the NFL just as ZZ Top keeps me believing that I can be a lead singer for a rock band.

This coaching situation is a partnership at this time-it obviously could blow up into a "hostile takeover" but that is true with all assistants to some degree.

 

Shula has never had much to work with, but he was the OC playoff teams. 

 

Alstott, Dunn--run the ball.  Who were the receivers back in Tampa?  Keyshawn?

 

Give him some weapons and a guy who has first-hand experience with it and you will see a Shula you did not know existed.

Thats your perspective, but I dont agree with it.  There is no reason for Rivera and g man to rock the boat by bringing in Ramsdell if they were satisfied with Shulas job performance.

For now I am really happy that he was hired.  From here I guess we'll see what happens.  But at the very least it shows some initiative and I love it.  Draft some weapons and let's play ball.

There's not? 

 

I mean, if the above is 100% reality in his mind, it would've been easy to just let Shula go and hire Ramsdell as OC.   Before Smith got hurt, I feel like the offense was more or less exactly what Rivera wanted. 

 

So other reasons to bring on Ramsdell - 

*he can actively help out

*our QBs coach and WRs coaches are bright and probably going places, but both have minimal coaching experience, so he can mentor and fill in the gaps where they aren't as strong

*Shula himself can always use some help

 

None of that means "Rivera wants to fire Shula."  Yes, Ramsdell can most likely succeed Shula and, if it's required, he probably would.  That's another reason he's valuable, but it's not like they're going to keep a guy like that behind glass either.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
