You can count on the Carolina Panthers running this play to CMC

I don't buy into the narrative that Shula wouldn't know what to do with McCaffrey (and Samuels).  IMO, he is able to design good game plans and schemes, his problem is situational play calling and adapting on the fly.

With that said, even if he has no clue himself of what to do, we have a clear blueprint that all he has to do is copy and paste into our playbook.  He doesn't have to be creative, how to best utilize McCaffrey has already been created...and we have one of the practitioners on our staff.  

That is about the best description of Shula I have ever seen on this board. To say he is incapable of designing plays is just plain wrong. Most people bash him mostly because of what he did at Alabama, but he was just doing what Alabama is still doing today. They rely on a very nasty defense  and a good running game to win games. Basically, they just plain beat people up. Shula had never run a zone read before he came here either, so obviously he can adapt the scheme.

I just hope our defense is ready to be on the field a lot more, because I have a feeling this offense will have the ability to score quickly and often.

Hmmm. yes, that's a potential drawback of a quick-scoring offense that it's easy to overlook, especially given the age of some of our players on Defense.  Something to keep an eye on.

Yep! But it's a nice problem to have.  Another on the plus side is that if we can put up big numbers, then teams will feel pressure to also score so as not to fall too far behind.  That should result in mistakes, which in turn should improve our defensive turnover numbers.

You're telling me being good on offense and defense leads to playoff-contending caliber teams?

Just add in Samuel to the mix and expect defenses to stop that.

Not to mention being forced to account for KB's size and Olsen's presence. Lord.

Yea we built up our offense in a big way this year. Much faster and just as big. The options you get with Samuel and CMac is going to be difficult to defend. One play will be able to ran 5 different ways.

I fully expect us to look like a college team at some times.

Mis direction shovel passes, reverses, a lot of pre snap motioning from slot to back field setting up triple option plays, I really wish we had a true offensive minded coach. I really hope Shula doesn't take these two new toys and in a way takes a step backwards. 

I hope Lance Taylor spends a ton of time with Samuel. I'm not sure who OSU's War coach is or how much time CS even spent practicing with WR's but if this kid can clean some things up he could be dangerous

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
