New Black Panther movie releasing soon .. but no Chadwick Boseman in this one but the Black Panthers are now starting Bozeman

Call me crazy but I see a win and a Cam Newton signing thereafter

There's something familiar about you. What are your thoughts on gematria?

Win...

PJ proving the doubters wrong

Wilks remaining head coach  because he earned the job.

We get to the playoffs the tank crowd going have to come back next year, no way Tepper let's them both go without at least another year.

Hell, 7 wins might take the NFC South this season. Going 7-10 and winning the NFC South would honestly be our worst possible outcome. We get our asses kicked in the wildcard round and it costs us about 10 spots on the draft because we're a playoff team instead of just a 7-10 poo team.

So for all the anti tankers out there.. I will say this. Do you firmly believe that even if we somehow win and make the playoffs this year, that Wilks is the guy to be our next full time head coach and be that guy to get us to the promised land or the very least, a consistent year in and year our playoff team?!

This question is really important because us winning several games doesn’t mean we lose a top 3 pick, but it also means Wilks is staying. Before you think otherwise, do you truly think Tepper will fire Wilks if he somehow has a winning record in the current environment?!? 

So again I ask, is Wilks that perennial playoff type head coach?!? Because if we win this year, he stays. I will be honest, looking around the league at the top elite teams right now, what do a majority of them have in common?! Young offensive minded head coaches. 
 

Out of ALL the teams with a winning record right now, all but two have young, offensive minded head coaches while only two (the Jets and Bills) have defensive minded head coaches.

I see Wilks and I see a good leader of men but I look at his age and tendencies and I see flashbacks of Riverboat Ron or John Fox (that last game where we had all three time outs before the half with 2 mins left and just let the clock go down to half time) and I think Wilks ceiling is Fox/Rivera. Some bad seasons, one great season and a lot of mixed seasons and I do not want to go in that direction.

You talking about the only two coaches who got us to the promise land correct...

And you know the smartest way to beat the trend...find a younger defensive mind coach...Wilks ol school but still hip enuff for the new school.

What's the goal at end of the day, to win.

He builds us into winners you can't let him go, or you leave Tepper to go find the next Joe Brady for HC

The worst possible scenario is we win a few more games this year, miss out on our choice of QB and Wilks is given credit for turning the team around and given the full time job then turns out to be another Rivera. A mediocre coach that will either be terrible without an elite QB or will hold an elite QB and team back from going all the way. I like Wilks but even if we win half of our games left this year that doesn’t automatically mean he’s a good coach all of a sudden.  So if I had to choose, it’s “tank” so our future has more potential than PJ Walker and Wilks.

You know Rhule would take credit for it, right?

This would not bother me as I don't care what that clown thinks about anything since he's no longer coach.

Better him take credit in his brain for any success than him still be coach.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
