Cautiously optimistic.  A lot of coaches say they fit their schemes to their players’ strengths, but when you watch the games it’s clear they simply aren’t good enough at scheming to pull it off.  McAdoo at least has a solid track record.  I like what he’s saying about the tight ends (even if it’s mostly just hyping up his guys); really hoping we can utilize Tremble more this year.  That dude has potential to be big time.

He has a different haircut every time I see him 

That was a particularly mean-spirited way to say that, if that was your point.

 

I will say, however, as someone who wasn't nearly as follicly blessed as McAdoo, it's always irksome to see such a glorious mane of hair so flippantly misused.

Joe Brady was over his head. Hiring an OC with zero play calling skills was a bad move in hindsight. Scheme is great but you can have a simple scheme if the D doesn’t know what you are doing.

I have zero clue if McAdoo will be a lot better. He can’t be worse and with CMC and the OL, we should be better barring lots of injuries. My only concern is that when OBJ missed most of the season, McAdoo’s offense was 31st. Even in the 2 games OBJ started, they scored almost 10 points more per game.

I just hope he brings along Corral so he starts enough games and we know if he’ll be that guy.

Yeah, that 2017 year is tricky because they lost OBJ, Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard was playing hurt most of the year. They had like 20 players on IR. He was also HC not OC by that point but who knows how much control he kept over the play calls

Why dwell on his team's offensive performance while he was HC though?  It's not an apples-to-apples comparison; we want to evaluate McAdoo's performance as an OC since that's the role he's serving here.  It's logical to think, as HC, he was much more hands-off with his offense than while he was the OC where that'd be his sole focus.

I think a more apt comparison is to look at the Giants' offense before and after he was brought on as OC.  In 2013 (the year before McAdoo was brought on as OC), the Giants ranked 28th in yardage and 28th in points.  In 2014 in McAdoo's first year as OC, the Giants ranked 10th in yardage and 13th in points.  In 2015 in McAdoo's second (and final) year as OC, the Giants ranked 6th in points and 8th in yardage.  That's a pretty good track record as OC, although fairly limited.  I think we can all agree he was a failure as a HC and if Rhule gets fired and McAdoo takes his place full-time (beyond an interim role), I'm gonna be just as disappointed as most everyone else here.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
