Wilks is allowing the correct decisions to be made. Players who actually give the Panthers the best chance to win are being played now. There seems to be an NFL level game plan in place. The coaching understands how to play the chess match with play calling now.

Wish CMC was behind the Bozeman led OL and allowed to play with patience behind the LoS.

I think Wilks is capable of leading a playoff team and should be given the chance to prove if he can build a championship team. If he can lead this team to the playoffs after all the mess he has been handed, he deserves a few seasons as HC. Or... DC if he can lure Byron Leftwich to be the HC and he mentors Leftwich.

The defense is playing more like an NFL defense and Wilks is game planning to cover the weaknesses players like Burns and Brown have had against the run by covering them up with a run defender. Rhule and Snow just let teams keep picking at those run defense weaknesses from Brown and Burns.

It's worth seeing how far Wilks can push this team and its foundation.

Panthers still need a better front office and scouting department. This Browns, Jets, and Lions level scouting isn't going to cut it.

My no 1 biggest nightmare.. We win 8 or 9 games this year, make the playoffs, we are all so happy and optimistic and we keep Wilks as our HC and Walker as our QB next year.

Meanwhile the Lions and Texans hire Steichen as their HC and draft one of the top QBs and go 12-5 next year while Stroud or Young have record breaking rookie seasons.  Meanwhile at the same time we go 5-12 or 4-13.

I suspect PJ is respected in the locker room as well, more than Baker and Darnold. He's a quiet guy, works hard, doesn't have a huge contract, they all know him, and he just wins games. 

That's the kind of thing Wilks would pick up on more than Rhule.

Playoff run and Wilkes gets the full-time gig. That's my first choice. I just want to win. I want this team to shock the world.

I don't see that happening, but I'd like this team to have a good bit of fight in it to look good for a perspective coach. (No playoff run and we're looking for a new coach). I think we can still find our franchise QB and him not be a top 5 pick. 

I'm just tired of losing. I mean that's still what I expect, but I'm tired of it. Last Sunday reminded me of what that felt like. I hadn't felt it in a while and I want more.

I'm so happy PJ made you feel again

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
