There is a view that Paulus was

The German plan was to drive the Russians out of Stalingrad, use the Volga
River as a defensive line and pull troops into the rear to do this. The
problem was the Russians were holding in Stalingrad and the Germans lacked
time to prepare for an assault in the rear.
Probably, the best would have been for Paulus not too gone into Stalingrad
at all. Even before Stalingrad, the Germans were experiencing major supply
issues.
