How about we see a bigger sample size first. No offense but some folks are giving off the same energy as our 3-0 start with Darnold or our win streak with Kyle Allen. Let it play out.

I agree with this post. However, it is worth noting that unlike the 3-0 start with Darnold it appears we finally have a franchise Left tackle and the offensive line appears solid. We have some key pieces in place. This team has more talent than people give them credit for.

Tepper is going to want a guy like Mike Tomlin and Wilks seems to be very similar in terms of his demeanor and how he would build a team. He also comes from the McDermott school who obviously has ties to this organization so give me Wilks, or give me death. He's a respected coach who will be able to recruit whatever coaching talent that there is in the league. Players want to play for him. He's local. Just give him a shot.

 

This organization needs internal repairs after the damage Rhule has done and you do that with a guy like Wilks. Absent some coach like Lefleur or McVay, Wilks is good.

Dude coached a game against one of the most explosive offenses in the league and held them to 24 points on a day where we barely had 150 total yards on offense.

I like Coach Wilks a lot   He’s a football coach’s coach 

He isn’t the shiny new toy Tepper craves though   He is old school 

let’s see how does first 

but if he does well, keeping him, Al, Campen and Tabor would really be great. Just a decent OC. 

You wonder if Tepper isn't going to go the Mike Tomlin route. Wilks provides that.

winning record since Wilks took over? or a winning record in general?

I guess winning since he took over but really I want to see back to back seasons ASAP so I want 9+ wins this year so that it could be a possibility next year.

I'd even say without, he was 4 losses behind the 8 ball, so I won't hold it against him.  Standard for Wilks is the same as rhule, playoffs or no deal.

Casillas helped me clarify, Wilks would need to have a winning record as HC, we wouldn't need a winning record as a team. Wilks has 12 total games, already 1-1. If he goes 7-5 this year I'd keep him. 6-6 or worse and I don't think I would. If we make the playoffs at 7-10 that would be embarrassing for the league and this division and I wouldn't keep Wilks just because the division is a joke. But yeah if we're 8-9 and Wilks' record is 7-5 I'd keep him around, that would be very impressive considering how bad Rhule was with the same group (actually a worse group for Wilks with McCaffrey gone)

    • I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?
    • You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
    • For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
