I give Wilks credit for doing a good, job considering what he inherited from the Rhule administration but I am afraid the loss to the Bucs that would have won the division probably did him in.

Wilks did enough to get noticed around the league. I doubt it will be enough for Tepper however.

I think he's not a bad "head" coach. But I do not like his defensive philosophy, at least what he's shown so far. This seasons defense he gets partial demerits on only because he inherited it. But how he ran it after getting it is all on him and it's just not good.

It would have been a great story but those kinds of stories are as rare as unicorns.

I think you hit the nail on the head about what went on with the defense when he became HC.  It got worse.

All the stories out there that he didn't agree with Snow's defensive philosophy and he wasn't running an NFL defense are moot to me because he was named interim coach and booted Snow.  Why didn't Wilks then, along with Holcomb, start implementing what they thought was missing from our non-NFL defense?  I will give them the fact that maybe the personnel wasn't there to do everything they may have wanted, but I don't see why they didn't go ahead and pull Chinn from S and put him in at LB.  We had other safeties that could have been plugged in and it's possible Chinn makes more of an impact and the safety we put out there contributes roughly what Chinn did.

      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...
