Panthers offense leads the league in 2015.

I am sure the front office had nothing to do with putting an offensive system that relies on a strong physical defense that can create takeaways so the offense can lean on the run, run option, and play action in a terrible spot.

While I do not care for Shula's philosophy, I do know he is not the problem. If the defense performs, then the offense will perform at a high level like it did in 2015. If the defense struggles, it will come down to close games in the 4th quarter.

If you believe the Panthers defense is going to give up 400 points per season, then a Shula offense will not be able to combat that struggling defense and play well from behind on a consistent basis - most offensive systems would struggle. In fact, if you believe this is the type of defensive deficiency the Panthers have to plan for, then they need to replace Shula, Cam, KB, Funchess, Ginn, Brown, Oher, and Remmers on offense. Why? Because they are all inconsistent players in the passing game and will always struggle if the defense struggles.

Fix the defense, and they will fix the offense.

You can not rail on offensive inconsistency by Shula when playing from behind and not be critical of every skill player in the passing game outside of Olsen. I guarantee you that any OC coming in with a focus on consistency will immediately want to replace Cam, KB, Funchess, Ginn, Oher, and Remmers.

The front office built a 50/50 offense and Shula engineered around that personnel. It is not his fault the offense is dependent on strong defense to set them up and keep them from playing from behind.

I get what you are saying, but some games this year the defense  put us in good spots to win some games but the O sputtered and we lost. KC comes to mind. The offense has been off this year. Many games where we couldn't do anything on offense. I don't know what the problem is.

Man our offense looks slow and lathargic. Mike Shula is a direct reflection of this. If he isn't the only other person l can point to is Ron Rivera. Maybe they both need to go. But l would fire Mike Shula first for sure.

Same offense as last year, just added KB

And took away a healthy consistent OL starting 2.5 games into the season. Cothery gone can't be completely ignored either.  It's not the same other than KB.....and it started out details ok

      A new coach coming in after what I think was one of the biggest clusters of a team last year and giving your first overall QB a chance isn't to crazy.  You really don't know until you get on the field and Canales saw what we all saw.  Bryce Young was not good enough to start.  But Canales, the staff and numerous other coaches who called about trading for BY thought he might be salvageable.   I agree with you that I don't think it smart or probable that BW would put up 300 yards and 3td.  That is why Canales isn't asking or expecting him to do that.  Yet. And even that "Yet" is just a possibility but it's too freaking hard to find a QB in the NFL and there were to many other factors last year to say BW is a total bust and move on.  Especially when moving on right now means a big trade, some QB off a practice squad or running with some UDFA. The worst thing would be stuck in 6-8 wins a season but that would be a hell of a lot better than the last few year but I get and agree with your point.  My point is simply that the possibility that BW turns it around and becomes a good QB is much more likely than Dalton or any other QB we could get giving us a better chance to win games and improve long term. The only thing I've continued to preach is he's the best option currently and going forward but that doesn't mean we don't bring in other players to improve and get better.  History has shown that this place is ready to cut bait way to early on players with little regard to the alternative, or other factors that play a role in a players success. I'd love to enjoy a win without being told repeatedly over and over by the same people why we are still a failure.  The whole yeah we won but... I'm not arguing and I don't think anyone else actually thinks that your QB throwing for 126 yards is a recipe for winning but I think most people would like to feel good about a win instead of focusing on the host of things we need to continue to improve upon to be a yearly contender.  Trust me, no one is going to forget we still have a long way to go.

      How many drops today.

      Drops. Penalties on TD throws. Fumbles.  we did a lot to make Bryce’s day look pretty ordinary. He still looked light years better than the first 2 weeks.  all we could hope for is progress and we’re getting it.

      I like allar and the qb from LSU as second round options. I'm coming more on board with taking the best defensive player available in the first. Hopefully that's a DE.
