We could see Barkley break records today.

Yeah I wouldn't give up our first round pick. We need a QB more than we need a coach, in my estimation. Of course if we don't draft one this year, that may mean we're expecting Darnold back.

You'd still rather have Carr over Jones? Of course it's probably moot. The Giants would have to be extremely foolish to let him walk.

Can we trade Donte Jackson for Asante Samuel Jr. straight up?

Probably the Texans.

Man, I'm looking at Ben Johnson's credentials, and really the only thing I'm seeing is his success with the Lions this year. Hats off to him with the overall job he did, but let's be real, it's not like he tore the league wide open. His team did finish around 500. Yeah I would have to see a little more offensive success than just this one year. I've also seen people wanting him majorly because of that Packers game. Come on, Aaron Rodgers is on the down side of his career with the Packers. If that were the old cats, the Lions would have been washed.

I'm good on Carr. Does he have skills? Yes. Yet at the end of the day, I think he's peaked and is on a downhill trajectory. Perhaps that actual QB we should be looking at, and I'm surprised to be thinking this way, is Daniel Jones.

I wish we were in a real division this year. People keep talking about the job Wilks did, but fail to realize every last team in our division was in it until the last two weeks. Going 500 is mediocre talk.

Give me Ken Dorsey all day. Everywhere he's gone, it's been magic. Namely his years with Cam, and now Josh Allen. I believe Ken Dorsey is the majority reason why Buffalo is doing their thing. People don't realize how raw Josh Allen was in his first year. Then overnight, Dorsey made him a superstar.

(Sorry for the double post, can't edit my op anymore) Can someone answer this question for me. I've read the opinions in other threads on the forum. It definitely appear we have people who would be cool with Wilks as head coach. Now I'm not the opinion police, and certainly agree all are equal. There's no right nor wrong in that category. However, I'm going to dig a little deep here. How on earth can you support Wilks after that lost? Realize we lost that game because we gave up not one, not two, THREE MAGIC BOMBS FROM THE HEAVENS TO MIKE EVANS!. Plays that could have easily been avoided by the simplest adjustments that a grade school coaching staff would have made. How do you support that kind of incompetence?

I would definitely take Ken Dorsey. Him and drafting Anthony Richardson sounds like a superbowl appearance would be on the horizon.

Someone's knocking at the door... Somebody's ringing the bell... Someone's knocking at the door... Somebody's ringing the bell... Do me a favor Open the door Let 'Em In!!! (Opens the door....................Steve Wilks is standing there) SHUT THAT MOTHER F'CKING DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, I don't see how anyone would want to see this guy back when he (and this team) outright gave Tampa Bay that game, effectively ending the season. (Let's not mention the pathetic lost to the Steelers). Now, I hear the idiotic mainstream sports media all jumping on the Wilks bandwagon. People who don't really know Panther football. Saying he deserves the job simply because we got a few wins in a putrid division. (They seem to forget that part) Now, does Wilks deserve a HC job? I would say yes. Just not here!!! I've seen enough. Also, in spite of the reports saying he's not anyone's buddy concerning the team, I think he most certainly is a lot of player's friend. This team needs a swift kick in the A*S*S* after that loss. We need an overhaul at some positions. I don't need to see CJ Henderson back next year, I don't need to see Keith Taylor back, I'm thinking we might need change at the TE position, basically changes Wilks is not capable of making. If he was capable of making changes, he would have made a change in game to stop Brady from throwing those bombs to Evans! Out! Out! Out! This dude needs to be out! The longer he's here after the season is over, the more bothered I'm probably going to get. With names like Sean Peyton, Jim Harbaugh, heck, possibly even Mike McDaniel on the market, I would be utterly shocked if Tepper remained with Wilks. I would rather see this team thrown into a black hole, forever buried and never see light again. All that said, I'll wait and see what this team does. On a personal note, I don't think Wilks has a ghost of a chance. He would have had to made the superbowl in order to have a chance with Tepper. I have no insider info on that, its just the feeling I have concerning Tepper. He begrudgingly got rid of Rhule after that foolish contract he gave him, so I'm betting he's ready to burn the whole thing to the ground. We have a stable offensive line. We have a solid defense with young guys. All we need is a capable QB, a capable 2nd corner, and I wouldn't mind seeing us get a capable ILB to sure up that core.

That scenario would make me want to get rid of Wilks even more.

In terms of a top 3 pick, if we could use it to trade back, I would see it as more valuable. I thought this year would be a great QB class, but not so much now. I'm not a believer in CJ Stroud, and the Alabama QB is too small. Overall, I'm good with wherever we end up. (late top 10 or top 15). Where we really screwed up was not trading away Brian Burns.

The only way we win against NO, in NO, is if they tank. With that said, there is no way Wilks comes back next year. Tepper don't give a crap about what they (the players) think. Wilks' only shot was a deep playoff run.

All that Josh Norman buzz, only for one measly play?

The 4.5 guy has heart. (At least today he does. Hadn't done anything all year until today)

Man, along with a new coach, I don't want to see CJ Henderson back next year, and I don't want to see Keith Taylor's behind back here next year. And FUG Mike EVANS! This fool hadn't done anything all year, and now all of a sudden he wants to show up? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y'all tell me something, what will it take to get Josh Norman on the field?

I going to pretend that last pass was actually a punt. (Good job Darnold getting them inside the five!)

Number one adjustment that needs to be made......Taylor out.......Norman IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Detroit Lions be like...

The Steelers have fans in every city. They are a historic franchise who's been on primetime tv for decades. You are never going to keep Steeler fans out of a stadium unless you are playing in Arrowhead or something. Shoot, even if the Panthers were undefeated, I would still wager you would see more than half the stadium waving yellow towels.

Please! Lets see if he can win a game outside this putrid division. I'm not rooting for or against Wilks.

QBs usually pick on a guy they know sucks. He was in the vicinity, but I wouldn't say they were contested.
