Yes! Wilks is a good coach. I agree. But which coach do you have more confidence in training a young QB and installing a new offense - including game time adjustments? And the defense lost to Tampa. More specifically, the defensive secondary. No adjustments were made to stop Brady from throwing easy lobs to Evans when every one in the stadium knew the corners couldn't cover him.

Wilks is a good coach. His personnel changes led to a revamped run game. Rhule wasn't able to revive the run game during his entire tenure in Carolina with the same available personnel sitting on the bench. However the offense became one dimensionable. Unable to overcome a defensive gameplan that could effectively shut down the run. Perhaps he had a plan to address those deficiencies, but it was always gonna be theoretical only. Reich is the better choice if the plan is to develop an offense and a QB. And not gonna lie. The way the team lost to the Bucs was in an area directly in Wilks' supposed specialty - defensive secondary. In a game that would have put the team in the playoffs, that was not a good look. Not to mention the conservative approach on 4th downs.

Moore could easily fit in to the Deebo/CMC mold. Always thought he wasn't being properly utilized here. He's much more versatile. Add in Shenault with CMC and this offense was a TE away from SF level playmakers. Shanahan would have made those guys household names.

I've been saying this for YEARS! It never seems like the Panthers never run rub routes or concepts that scheme guys open. Seems like it's always individual routes where they have to beat the man covering them in a vacuum. This is so refreshing. Welcome to the NEW NFL Carolina. Now let's get another WR or 2 to make the transformation complete. This level of scheming doesn't require the #1 or #2 QB in the draft.

People really don't give the Bengals receivers the credit they deserve. Burrow is really good, but those receivers make his life a lot easier.

I think coaches that are successful with multiple teams because they're able to handpick their teams. Hard to find a coach that turns around multiple bottom feeders.

That can not happen. Every team remaining has a HC with an offensive background.

Oh heck no, I don't think Jimmy is very good. He was the biggest hinderance to that offense. Purdy is definitely better extending plays. Jimmy has better command of the offense though. But to be fair, he should.

I just don't see Purdy being able to keep up with Hurts and the Eagles. He limits the offense now. There's enough tape on him now to scheme him have to play to his weaknesses.

Purdy was very limited in the throws he could make yesterday. If you can take away the middle of the field, he's relegated to screens only. I don't think I saw one deep out route or hitch/comeback completed outside the numbers.

I agree with that. But running QBs present challenges that defenses can't always prepare for. The 49ers linebackers do have wheels though. If any defense can keep up with Hurts, they can.

Shanahan said Garoppolo could be back for the NFC Championship. If he's back, they have a chance. Purdy has taken them as far as he can.

Well, the team was a wrist injury away from making the playoffs this year - and it wasn't a QB. There's more to a team than a passer.

Reaching for need is rarely the right move. This would be more than a simple reach. It'd be a move of desperation. Drafting the wrong QB in the top 10 sets you back at least 3 seasons.

So we all acknowledge Rhule held back the offense - particularly with his personnel decisions, but also game-planning and direction. And in the same breathe tear down a rookie QB that got minimal opportunity to learn the offense, because he performed poorly in preseason games. Corral has the tools and attitude. He needs the right opportunity and coaching to be successful.

Oh he knows what it took to get CMC.

49ers. My 12 years old son loves Deebo!

I said with a good team and HC. Not Rhule and whatever we marched out there calling it an o-line. Maybe add a WR or TE and a coach with a clue of offense and that will be a better approach than reaching for a QB that'll need 2 or 3 seasons before looking like a pro. SF has Mr. Friggin Irrelevant out there winning division games because they've focused on improving the team. That and a HC that has a clue of offense.

Whoever wins the position battle in training camp. Again, improve the TEAM and the coaching staff. They can control those things. The QB position will work itself out.

Reaching for a QB in the draft is the absolute worst thing this team could do. If our guy isn't available with #9, then get the DE, LB, WR or TE that will start for the next 5+ seasons. That's a win in my book. Take a chance with a 2nd or 3rd if you want, but be sure with the 1st and the HC. Everything else will work out.

Oh Juan....

Delhomme was the opposite of a game manager. Dude kept games close that should have been blow out wins for carolina. But he was cold as ice at the end of games. Bad decisions all day long but in that last 2 minutes... it's on!

Wilks is a good guy and a good coach. He would work for the right team. Just think it’s time to try something new in Carolina. Defensive coaches are more conservative. They just are. Defensive coaches sacrifice QB development pieces in order to build a stronger defense. Defensive coaches take their foot off the gas with a 10 point lead half way through the 4th quarter. They don't trust the offense at the end of games. They'd rather have their defense "hold on" to the lead. And there isn't anything wrong with any of that. It's the safe way. I'm just ready for something different.

Particularly the coach. Tired of coaches that either don't care or don't know how to develop QBs. If Andy Reid would have gotten a hold of Cam in the 2011 draft... the league would have had to make new rules to slow them down.

You must be fun at parties
