Rivera will officially call Panthers Defense and could try to bring back Wilks

As frustrating as this season has been, this will be an upgrade from Washington and even Wilks calling plays for the team. If we can get Wilks back as an assistant head coach and allow Washington to focus back on the D line, I believe our defense will be much improved. We could all see what an impact bad play calls had on the defense this past year, it’s no coincidence So many vets looked out of place. Re tooling the talent on defense is another story, but I do feel comfortable that the play calls will be much improved next year.

we could look for an experienced DC with a resume, you know, try something new this time instead of bringing back a friend...

Yeah like that would ever happen under Rivera. Him being DC is probably the best option.

Am I the only one who thought Wilks sucked ass too? We had one of the worst defenses in the 2nd half of 2017. Wish we could finally hire a proven DC to pair with Rivera, but Rivera too scared for his job to do that. Status quo it is then.

You are not the only one. He was terrible.

Let's continue to bring back former players,  coaches, GM's and expect better results. RR is going to continue to call defensive plays, wow. I'd find it hard to believe that he wasn't calling plays most of the season. If he wasn't and allowed the season to tank with 7 straight loses before he intervened,  then he should be fired anyway. The process within this organization baffles me. I'm holding onto hope for Tepper stil.

Over the last 4 games the defense gave up an avg of 18 a game vs around 26 when Washington was calling plays.. take it for what it’s worth.

Ron is consolidating power, taking control of what he knows and that’s defense. He’s not putting his future in the hands of someone else when his *** is on the line

Honestly, I think Tepper is kinda trying to do with a defensive coach what LA is doing with Sean McVay in that essentially Ron will call the plays on defense and let Norv Handle Defense.  LA seems to basically let McVay run the offense and Wade Phillips handles everything defense.

    • 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
