Tre Boston sums it up

[HardcoreHokie]

Being a fan of the Panthers is like breaking up with the hot smart chick…

…and then dating the hot but stupid chick…

…and then dating the ugly stupid funny chick…

…and then Marrying the ugly stupid boring chick and having kids…

None of it makes any sense and then you just wanna jump off a bridge.

Fire GM…my two words summation!

You have too.  His hands are dirtier based on this sorry roster. While Frank is no savior if he had a decent roster I know he wouldn’t be the worst team in the league. Fire Fittz

This all depends on who is truly calling the shots.  If Tepper is calling the shots it doesn't matter who is the GM it's going to be ugly.

If Tepper is hands off.  SURE, but I am looking at the former and not the latter.

That's real talk, no disrespect spoken to players or owners... I 100% respect him for that...

Reshaud from PNP suggested we fly a banner that says,( Mange your hedge fun not the Panthers signed, the Basement Dwellers) in reference to Dave calling some fans that during an interview. I kind of like it.

Tre wasn’t perfect on the field but it’s cool how much he still loves the Panthers

Was thinking the same thing.

I wasn't a proponent of keeping Wilks but if you were being honest in that you were firing Rhule at that time to give Wilks an opportunity to prove himself through making the team substantially better then he did that. To jettison him to end up with this, well... it's basically just the Tepper era Panthers in a nutshell. What we had wasn't great but damn if it wasn't better than this.

Two things can be true here.

Was Wilks better than what we have now?  Yes, he was.

At the same time, he wasn't the answer.  He was gonna be a guy who occasionally got us to the playoffs.  He was Riverboat Ron all over again.

I can give the organization props for trying something different to change the math.  This didn't work.  Let's try something else.  Unfortunately, I think we're still a bit more than 12 months away from "something else".

I'd take occasionally making the playoffs over occasionally sniffing .500

You're reading too much into what I was saying. All I'm saying is that the situation proved Tepper was lying. He didn't fire Rhule to give Wilks a legit shot. He fired Rhule because he finally got tired of being humiliated by the entire football world for making a dumb hire, giving the dumb hire a TON of money and more importantly in the football sense a ton of organizational power. The ruse of giving Wilks a legit shot was just a cover for not admitting that you're just yanking the rug because you finally got embarrassed enough to do so when the entire football world knew Rhule should've been fired the prior off-season.

No one knows how Wilks would have done. He’s not Ron Rivera. Ron Rivera is Ron Rivera. 
 

What we know is that he became interim of a laughing stock of a team, instantly made them respectable (with no QB), and now we have returned to laughing stock status. 
 

None of us know Wilks personally (or Ron for that matter) so there’s just a lot of assuming going on. 
 

I get that people want the next stud offensive coach, but good luck to them trying to light up the league with no QB. Wilks did pretty good (and ran the appropriate scheme imo) for a Sam Darnold led offense.

And they blew up the fanbase in the process.

I don't know if Tepper is lying or just incompetent.

Same result either way, though

I dont know why this dude is bringing up KK but hes mostly right in the main point 

[GOAT]

yeah we really could have kept the culture in tact, kept a lot of these veterans mentioned and even a veteran coach like Wilkes. Could've kept Cam as back up / cheerleader and drafted a guy like Stroud or AR to take the reigns and bring some youth excitement into the team. The whole Jerry Richardson thing really nuked a lot of that unfortunately and obvi that gave us Tepper. It is what it is, can't live in the past. What we can do is keep blowing this thing up until we get the right combo of coaches, FO and players. that is the only way.
