would you like help from falling on your face?

Thank God i can be accepted by the masses cause i turn a blind eye the obvious.

Why is asking anyone to address the issues mean I'm or anybody else is defending Shula. It's called looking at everything that goes into it. Two years ago, we had 13 wins? Sound like a pretty good effort all away around. Last season, injuries to the oline, running backs, cam, one of the worst receiving corps assembled by rhe franchise. Not even the best OC in the league can overcome that. But whatever, I'm going to bash the coaches cause it's his fault those guys got injured, and the less than average talent he had to work with was often failing to excute. Did i get that right? Oh yeah, and fug Rivera for sticking with him, and fug Gettleman for allowing Rivera to stick with him. fug the owner for allowing it to happen too.

thanks for playing.

I kiss no one's ass. Until you or aybody else that blindly slams Shula addresses many of the issues he's been forced to work with/through, there is nothing else to say.

I disagree.

Nobody in this thread is "giving him a pass" Just different perspective, especially when taking the circumstances into consideration. But bash away. Must you haven't deviated at all since before shula was promoted, so you'll ignore the circumstances as it doesn't support your hate.

I recall that perfectly clear. Just as Gettleman has no problem cutting players whom don't perform, i know he wouldn't just stand by doing nothing if he felt a coach wasn't performing. I can't believe anyone would believe otherwise. Your choice.

at least your consistently biased.

his play calling is actually better than most around here will give him credit for. He is also.more creative than most give him credit for. Your response of hand picking the worse OC the Panthers ever had is the weakest retort you could have come up with - but it does support your argument, so why would ya actually want to come up with a more solid example? Who cares, i don't.

Common sense isn't common anymore. Even here on the huddle.

everyone nees to show improvement. If you're not gettng better, you're getting worse.

Thank you for pointing out what I've known for most of.my life. Coaching matters. I never said it doesn't. I am also confident that if Gettleman felt any of our coaches weren't preparing and coaching up our players enough, he'd do more than suggest a change. You know as well as I do, that when there is poor execution, the mass response is directed to the OC. He can't hold the players hands, and make them execute better when it's game day. Let me be clear, that Shula isn't a favorite of mine. I just know he also gets more blame than he deserves, and you are one of the ring leaders of that wagon.

Yes, pull a guy before the line has time to build continuity during the first preseason game!!

Poor creativity - More creative than all but one previous Panther OC (Chud). I don't want Chud back, thanks anyways. Execution falls on the players. They are the ones that suit up, are coached up, and are out on the field. If the offense isn't overly complex (like most claim) then it should be expected that the players don't make as many mistakes when on the field executing the bland, boring, predictable offense. Can't have it both ways, but don't let common sense and l logic get in the way of the coach bashing.

before the frist preseason game is even played.

yet bersin is a favorite of Cam Newton.

I love Fozzy. But he's not untouchable like many in this thread are insinuating. Todman can have a big role with the team, which is why he was brought in. As much as I love Fozzy, I'm going to trust in the staff to make the right decision. If Stewart goes down, Tolbert will be getting more touches than the bottom half of our RB depth. All Bersin does is catch the ball, and contribute to special teams. That isn't good enough is many fans eyes, which is why I'm glad they aren't making the decisions.

The best news is that Ginn will not be relied upon to be the number 2. Which should allow him to have another good year as a Panther.

Davis was draft to be a linebacker. Due to preseason injury at the safety position, he was tried there for a short time. That's football at times.

Heck yeah!

Thank you Jeremy.

Psssst...... Did you know........ It's almost time for ...... Football to rule again.

I honestly stopped reading when i grew tired of his explaination of stats and system used to get the results he did. He was better off just telling me where he thinks we'll finish.
