Couple of close games gotta think we atleast beat the browns. The talent here is playoff talent even if wilks were to hold them up. Rhule is just that bad. If we get in and match up with dallas and minnesota i think we can make championship. Tough teams up front are the achilles heel and we cant adjust to that.

Wilks is coaching at a .500 clip.  Sam was injured to start the season remember all, so he'd be stuck with Baker as well.  I don't think this is a 10-5 team right now with him; maybe a 9-6 though I think 8-7 is the most likely.

Idk about 10 wins. 8 would definitely be within reach. 

We're within reach of 8 wins right now and thats with a 1-4 start by the worst coach in franchise history.  He'd be tied with Perry Fewell if I considered his internship as a real coach.  Wilks would have this team between 9-11 wins if here from day one of the season.

Fwiw, if Eddie P. didnt poo his jockeys, we'd be 2 over .500 with him, in definitive first place, and only a game under .500.

To be at 10 wins we would have had to go 5-0 to start since Wilks is 5-5. No chance we’d have been 5-0. Yes, Cleveland game was close but honestly that had more to do with bad Cleveland coaching. They ran all over us but kept forcing it with Brissett and killed a bunch of their drives. They should have done the same as we did to Detroit and it wouldn’t have been close.

Yup. I think we go 3-3 in the first 6 games of the season even with Wilks and Baker, so the 2 game swap to win column would put us at 8-7 now.  But 10-5?  I don't see it personally.

      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. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  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...
