Is Steve Wilks Overrated? I think so.

[Snake]

He's definitely overrated. He gets out schemed often by good OCs. He needs to be more unpredictable because teams are adjusting to him. ATL blocked up almost everything he threw at them in the second half.

Offense lost us this game, it wasn’t the defense.

Correct. And I hate to say it the majority of that falls directly at the feet of Cam Newton today.

and he's been really bad so far.

right now, he's a bad defensive coordinator. no sugarcoating it. doesn't learn from the fact that slot blitzing on every third down will get you creamed by any QB or offense with a brain.

Well the question is are you willing to give up on him after one year. If you are, then you better be accepting of CMC criticism of anyone else who’s been here a year. Otherwise, your looking a hypocrite in the eyes of myself and many others

[Growl]

They ate us up on screens and slants all day and Wilks didn't seem to notice

We played 10 yards off in the secondary and brought the kitchen sink on every down.

He has a lot to learn as a NFL coordinator, but Wilks isn't the problem.  You need to provide at least some offense to give your D some air.  Not just talking about this game either.

I mean obviously keep him because he probably could get better. But hope that a team poaches him to be head coach and we snag one of the good DCs likely to be on the market.

They do this damn near every game and I have been screaming about it for the past several years. ESPCIALLY when they have the lead paying prevent defense.

[Evodion]

I wouldn't say he's overrated, I wouldn't say he great, I think he is good. The panther defense isn't really the problem. Cam and the Offense are the issue, and have almost always been the issue

[PhillyB]

Give him some safeties and then let’s complain

That is not likely, but if that’s what you want *shrugs*. So, do you think CMC or any of our other rookies “probably” get better? Do you think we should be looking to upgrade them?

[panthers34]

I just hate how he has Kuechly and TD hugging the line of scrimmage every play. They play so much better from space and in zone coverage which just isn't Wilks style. 

[OriginalPantherDan]

What I don’t understand is how you show blitz, drop back the LBs into coverage, and there are still 10 guys open downfield, or so it seems. I realize this is hyperbole, but you know what I mean. The point of dropping into coverage is to make it very tough to find an open receiver. Instead, it becomes tough to find a receiver who isn’t open. 

[beastson]

I think along with Mcdermott, the Panthers need better talent in the secondary so they won't have to resort to so much zone coverage. It's not a coincidence we clamped down defensively at the end of 2014 into 2015 cause we had Norman and Bene. They allowed our safeties to roam and mix up coverage

Our pass rush was better without CJ and we can do better than today rushing the passer

I've been calling for Ron to takeover the defense for years.

[Fox007]

Well McDermott got his team in the playoffs his first try and that's fugin Buffalo...

I think he's fine we just need to stop having our WRs 15 yards back for real...that's literally the problem there...the dump offs are easy because the cushion.

Also...our fugin offense is the problem not the D...we Held that team with that offense to 22 points and barely squirted out a water poo of 10 points...fug that its Shula POS bitch ass and hte offense that's the problem.
