And to think all of you UNC guys were wondering if Mack should've been fired too. Wilks is the guy. Wilkes County is in NC. Wilks went to college in the county next to Wilkes County (Watauga). Tae Hayes went to the same college. Wilks loves Charlotte. Wilks will be the next head coach. Too many twine connecting to the same push pin, right on Wilks right ear.

Would rather have Will Anderson or Marvin Harrison Jr.

So, what are our defenders...doing? For lack of a better word. This is not a play calling or coaching issue, the players are not executing. Did someone's dog die or wife cheat with another player? Like what in the world has these guys on defense so distracted? Also, Baker. It's so obvious he's much better in almost every way than P.J. I know Baker had issues early on but in his first drive without Matt Rhule, I was impressed. Looked like Baker from Cleveland.

This is a player problem, not a play calling problem. The guys playing right now are on autopilot and it shows.

Imagine that, 60,000 people cheering for a dude who knocks out women while claiming to care about domestic violence. The great irony of our time.

It's time to see what Baker can cook up.

When the goal is to lose, he's right.

Game is over, please put Baker in. This is worse than Jimmy Clausen, 2010.

Drake Maye and Caleb Williams are both quite a bit better than Stroud and Young.

Give me Drake Maye or Caleb Williams in 2024 and Will Anderson or Marvin Harrison Jr. In 2023 and I'll be happy.

Hooker is a one read QB in a defined read offense with a coach who is effectively QB'ing the team from the sideline. So no, Hooker is a no go and it's not even close. I was more impressed with Stetson Bennet and his ability to go through multiple reads and place the ball precisely. So, I'd rather have Bennett, and I don't want Bennett at all.

Steve Smith was built different. He was thicker bodied and had the attitude to go with it. Downs is like Dyami Brown or Jahan Dotson. It's not bad but it almost never translates to a 1 in the NFL. Give me Marvin Harrison Jr. to pair with DJ Moore.

No, he's a small speed, slot like guy. He may end up being good but I can think of two guys on Ohio State's roster who are better, one on Tennessee, two on USC, umm...probably a few others.

As I suspected, Hendon Hooker can't read defenses. He has a primary read and he never comes off of that read until its far, far too late. He has a lot of time to throw and just stares down his first read almost everytime he drops back. Kent State looked better against UGA than Hooker does. Their QB was going through reads and hitting his guys down the field. Hooker hasn't come off of his first read and made the throw all game long.

Suck for MAYE. Seriously, Drake Maye is the next Justin Herbert. If we screw it up by taking WILL fuging LEVIS I'm going to lose my poo. Draft Will Anderson or a star wide receiver, sign Brown and Burns, if Corral doesn't pan out you get a shot at a guy like Maye in 2024. We are going to be in another 3 year plan here so, I'm cool with shooting for Drake Maye in 24.

We really, really need to lose this game!

Give me the pass rusher who is a sure thing over a potential project QB all day. We already have Corral, if we suck next year again we take Drake Maye in 2024, problem solved.

That's the point I was making. How you can say Wilks is Rivera while saying McDermott is McDermott? The sample size doesn't exist as Wilks was scapegoated in Arizona.

What do we do with Matt Corral then? We didn't draft him to be a career back-up. I think you take Will Anderson, Harrison Jr., Jackson Smith-Ngigba. I think Stroud is going to struggle without all of that 1st round talent surrounding him in college. Pro's are a whole new ball game.

You could say McDermott is another Rivera as well, couldn't you? He's not a young offensive hot shot. He's a defensive coordinator who knows how to build a program and let people do their jobs. He trusts the people he works with. Wilks is Wilks. He isn't Rivera. Unless you know him personally, I doubt your word that Wilks is another Rivera means anything more than me saying that the Panthers should draft Will Anderson or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Generally speaking, with the set-up of the league, being competitive is what can be expected for 50% of teams. 40% stay on top regardless of their turnover, 10% stay at the bottom. Sans getting a QB like Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Peyton Manning, etc. a team isn't going to be consistently great. I think Wilks can establish a consistent culture. I think Wilks will respect people around the building enough to let them do their jobs. Let Fitterer General Manage, let an offensive coordinator coordinate, let a media room do media, etc.

Chase Brice may get a look in an NFL camp. He's got the stats and the throws under pressure, as well as the arm to make it to Spring. Not sure that he makes it to fall.

Panthers scouts are in attendance. Freshman Dalton Stroman with the one handed grab.

Marvin Harrison Jr. in the first. He's the son of a Hall of Famer and has been footballing since he was in the womb. He's more physically imposing than his dad and is just as polished which shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone. Grayson McCall in the second. He's been consistently great, breaking Tua's passer efficiency record with a 207 rating, or 217, in 2021. He's thrown 70 touchdowns to 6 interceptions in his career. He's mobile, he's 6'3, he's accurate and precise, he's local, give me McCall. Just because dudes are at P5's doesn't make them better, give them a higher ceiling, or make them more prepared to play than a guy like Grayson McCall who truly is one of the best QB's in the country.

This is behind a pay wall. Sure you're not committing theft by posting the whole thing on an open forum?
