Wilks is never gonna outscheme anyone

his mentality is were going to be the more physical and aggressive team and impose our will on you

The complete opposite happened today

absolutely killed in the trenches and manhandled at the line of scrimmage against a team with nothing to play for, in the most important December game in 5 years, at home

 

sorry Steve i was rooting for you but that’s unforgivable

Matt Canada's not really anything special as an OC either.

I would like to feel that way but common logic forces me to realize that the Panthers are currently not a playoff caliber team.

 I really wanted them to make the playoffs, but now it is becoming apparent it would be in their best interest to fogus on the 2023 draft and forget a playoff berth that seems to have passed.

Never said we were a playoff caliber team. The fear of getting this team into the playoffs, if it happens would be nothing short of amazing!

If he wins the division I think he deserves a shot. I mean look at the mess Rhule left him, they trade CMC, and he’s got McAdoo calling plays. If he can win the NFCS give him a shot. 
 

However, I like conservative coaches. I’m an old school run heavy, strong D type guy, but Wilks is waaaayyyyy too conservative. He makes John Fox look like Jim Harbaugh. I just don’t think it will work out for him.

 

I also have concerns about Al Holcombe being DC and who Wilks would bring in to be the OC. If you look at his Staff in AZ and Cleveland it wasn’t exactly a bunch of Winners.

Don't know if it's over, but I would say the Wilks train took a pretty big hit today 

Yeah, I am sure Tepper has a few spurs in his ass over this lose.  The one time where we could have beat them and we got manhandled offensively and defensively.

I think at this point a deep run in the playoffs is his only hope and with a 5-9 record that seems highly unlikely.

The bad part is that the Panthers didn't just get beat, they got destroyed at home by a team that shouldn't have been any better than them. A total let down from top to bottom.

If we had a winning record, even 9-8, then sure. If we back into the division at 7-10, there’s no way that needs to be treated as any sort of success. It’s a result of us sucking just a little less than the rest of our crap division. 
 

Let’s move on.

If we finish 7-10 that means Wilks basically went 6-5 with the disaster QB room we have (i dont count the first game against the Rams against him because he became the coach the Monday before the game)

That does not excite me about the possibility of Wilks going forward. The Bengals and Steelers games were disasters, even if you want to be generous. That’s even assuming we win 2 of our last 3, which I doubt happens at this point. 
 

I guess I just don’t get the optimism around him. Even before yesterday I wasn’t on board. The NFL is moving away from guys like Wilks, not towards them. You really wouldn’t want us to explore other possibilities? Preferably offensive ones that we can grow a new QB with?

No.  It doesn't work like that 

I realize the NFL is not fair but to give Rhule 7 years to prove himself and not give Wilkes a fair chance is wrong .  the players are playing better in  all  positions with the same team as Rhule .  Lets see what he can do with players from his draft .

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
