He earned so much respect from the players and fans this year. What a turnaround he orchestrated. 

He's one helluva coach and I'd have loved to see him stay here. I kind of hope Reich makes a DC offer to him.

Still, as much as anything, Coach Wilks reminded this franchise what the Panthers are supposed to be. He gave us back our grit.

Wilks was able to sweep up the ashes left behind by the Process in a matter of weeks.  He turned what I thought would be a 3 or 4 win season that was impossible to watch into a respectable season with some bright spots and hope along the way. 

If nothing else, he left the team in a far better situation than it was when he got his hands on it. 

He probably deserves the nickname Dirty Steve.  Just like Dirty Harry, he gets dirty job that comes along.  First Arizona, then following Rhule here.  If he is patient, he may be in Indy following Saturday after about week 11 next year.

To borrow a phrase I learned in Jamaica, “ much respect, Coach Wilks!” You brought this team back from the dead and helped us find our identity again. You gave a reason to watch and cheer for the Panthers again, and for that we are truly grateful. 
 

Best wishes for wherever your career takes you sir.

Nothing but love and respect for Wilks. He exceeded what was asked of him and rallied this Team from the trash heap that Rhule left burning behind him. He embodied Keep Pounding and made this team watchable all year. 

I hope he lands on his feet elsewhere (preferably not in the NFCS) and eventually is coaching a team.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      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 developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      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

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      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.
