Hester was the best to ever do it at his position. Cam? Come on, man. 

a kick returner. a position that anyone worth anything on offense or defense doesnt play because it isnt worth getting hurt (see Smith, Steve)

Cam revolutionized the most important position, Hester played a position that might not even be part of the game in 5 years

If Devin Hester is a HOFer Cam better be first ballot. Annoying that Eli will get in even though he was probably never even a top 10 QB during his career. But his defense held the greatest offense of all time to 14 points and he played in New York so im sure theyll put him in

Idk what you mean by horrible coach. He has no business being a head coach again but his resume speaks for itself when it comes to defense

maybe coaching is what brings him joy and fulfillment? Kinda weird behavior to post this tbh

Having an offense this terrible lets the defense look alot better than it really is.  Teams can sit on a small lead and play it conservatively b/c they know no chance the panthers score. I look at it as more everytime the panthers terrible offense actually put up decent points the defense still allowed the opposing offense to put up more .

Exactly lol we never got a stop in a close game when we needed one

Id take Rod Brindamour as coach at this point. Probably knows nothing about football but at least the team would play hard

This board cracks me up lol

im far from a Tepper apologist but lets recap the last 12 months

-We fired a college coach and the complaint was we needed someone that “understands” the NFL. We now have one of the most experienced staffs in the league, including 3 former NFL head coaches including Reich

-We bitched and moaned that we kept spinning wheels on bust QBs we tried to fix. They decided to finally get in position and literally be able to hand pick the rookie QB they wanted, and they picked the QB pretty much universally considered the right pick

-We whined that Hurney gave out bad contracts and was too loyal to players and that Gettleman was too cheap and too content with trying to fill holes with players already on the team. The guy we have now is aggressive and will do anything he feels makes the team better. When you are always making moves theres gonna be misses

So he has pretty much done everything this board has begged for, at some point it comes down to the players that get paid millions need to execute. Our OLine looked like world beaters last year and now can block a 4 man front. Our QB has had way more growing pains than anyone anticipated. Our defense literally has half its starters on IR. 
 

despite all that, while were 1-7 only the Detroit and Miami games were ones where it was clear we were outclassed and couldnt compete, both those teams are also legitimate playoff teams. Every other game is a toss up decided by 2 or 3 plays. Our offense is painful to watch and our margin for error is almost zero, but I honestly dont think this team is looking at a decade of misery ahead like the consensus of the board thinks. Keep the core of the defense together, get Bryce some weapons, move Ickey to guard and get a tackle in free agency and I think next year looks alot different. But blowing it up now is just resetting the clock all over again, which weve been doing since 2019. You have to actually give this rebuild a real chance

Over the top obnoxious assholery I get it. Complain about it. Make them tone it down or get tossed. But if you want to protect your precious children from hearing a naughty word, then a football game isn't the place to be taking them.

My thoughts exactly thank you

The Dolphins use pre snap motion more than any other team and Tua throws to his first read more than any other QB in football. The weapons help but it’s more so they scheme someone open on every play. Novel concept making things easy for your QB 

Ive been sitting in Section 124 forever. Had some Vikings fans sitting next to me. They were vocal but far from obnoxious. Probably late 20s/early 30s. Dropped a few f bombs when Kirk threw the pick 6. Older couple with kids in the row in front of us got  offended and turned around and threatened to call security if they cussed again because “its a family environment” and kids cant hear bad words

never been so embarrassed as a fan before. Only thing softer than our OLine and run defense is the wine and cheese crowd that goes to the games (if they dont sell their tickets to opposing fans already)

what makes it a family environment? Is is the alcohol being sold? The half naked cheerleaders? The grown men giving eachother brain damage? If you wanna shelter your kids dont bring them to an NFL game take them to chuck e cheese and drink soda and eat pizza while you watch on TV

This is obviously not the 2015 team but its funny to look back on the reports during preseason how they would have joint practices with the Dolphins and tell them to take their foot off the gas because we were overwhelmed and then we proceeded to bend over the entire league

They all cheat. All of them. Dean did, Guthridge did, Doherty did, and Roy did. Hubert might not have to BECAUSE of NIL.

If you were a part of Division I college basketball over the past 40-50 years, you likely did some sketchy poo. That's how it has always been. Fans just liked it when only a few of us knew about it. 

That to me has always been why I have never had any respect for any college sports fan that didn't admit that the reveneu sports were rampant with cheating and ALL the time. None of us were alive when this hasn't been the case.

Care to source that? Roy was known to back off elite recruits that had handlers (John Wall for example) so that is a pretty bold claim

Would not be surprised to see him sue us. I did not get the job so racism. Thanks for the no. 9 pick.  

And then the lawsuit gets tossed out when they ask him why he lost to Mitch Trubisky at home in essentially a win or game home game

Or maybe just f*cking maybe the WRs aren't getting open. You all can feel however you want about Wilks just stop damn lying.

Then be a coach and scheme them open? McVay can get amazon workers open but Wilks and McAdoo cant get DJ Moore open?

Wilks whole offensive gameplan is to hope our OLine is blowing people off the line every play so we can run 35 times. If we arent then its basically hope Sam can steal a few good throws

Haha there are a ton of people who want wilks. It’s absolutley mind boggling. Like one of the dumbest things I’ve ever come across in my life following sports. The following he has is outrageous.

For once I just want to be a team where to beat us you dont just have to have more talent you also have to outscheme us and make better adjustments than us. Ive been a fan my whole life and feel like weve never had a coach that can steal wins beating better teams than us

Their offense has been absolute garbage unless they go no huddle and Brady calls the plays

We need a uniform/brand makeover like the jags. Make Panther blue the primary color and get black helmets permanently

Why would Wilkes be another Rivera. Both Fox and Rivera were coordinators with no head coach experience at any level. Wilkes is proven he can get the maximum out of what he has. I think if he wins this week it is an indication the players are playing for Wilkes. They all want to go out on a good note and put up film. What happens after that they don't have much control over.  If we lose I think it hurts Wilkes chances.  Everyone knows it..

Im tired of people saying “players play hard for him” like thats a reason to hire a coach instead of it being a obvious pre-requisite for the job lol. Like shouldnt every coach be someone “players play hard for” ???

Some of you Panthers fans kill me. After the last 4 years I’ll take Harbaugh’s “trending down” 4 years. He’s proven his ENTIRE coaching career that he knows what he’s doing. From Stanford to 49ers to Michigan. He knows how to run a successful winning program. Like what else do you want? 

He gets put in bad situations and still wins too

Stanford was a joke and he had them finish in the Top 5 by year 4

Niners hadnt made the playoffs in 9 years and he went to the NFCC his first 3 years

Michigan was becoming irrelevant and brought them back to being a title contender

Jackson reminds me of Captain Munnerlyn. That guy played his heart out every game even though he was physically limited. The coaches have to protect guys like that from themselves, as they'll play until they drop and get injured.  That kind of player rally's others and are essential, as long as you don't over pay them and manage them properly.   Like you said PANTHERS!

I wouldnt call DJax physically limited though lol. He literally has world class speed and is 5’10 which is about average for a corner. Munnerlyn was a midget

He sounds like a pussy. At least Wilks wants to be here and build something.

Whats Wilks alternative? Going back to Missouri and coaching DBs? Running the defense at West Charlotte?

Blank contract

The division is lost, but if we come out next Sunday and beat the piss out of the Saints (Like 44-10 type game) to end the year I could see Tepper giving him a shot, plus he has all the locker room support and former player support. 
 

However, I think Tepper will see him as a watered down Ron Rivera and will go get his guy. I don’t think “his guy” is going to be who everyone else is thinking. I think he’s going to get a former HC. (Quinn, Reich, Harbaugh, etc)

I will find a new team if its Dan Quinn

I just can't get behind the strategy of punting to the Goat with 4th and inches, its dinosaur thinking and it leads to predictable results time and time again. You have to put good teams away, a division championship is on the line, not the time to play the most conservative game in the NFL.

I dont mind the philosophy in general but the problem with coaches like Wilks is they will not drift from their philosophy regardless of the situation or who the opponent is. He coached that game with the assumption we would continue to get stops with a beat up secondary, no pass rush, and going against the GOAT and 2 all pro receivers. If you have the 2013 Seahawks defense I can understand punting but we dont have anything close to that

Depends. Are they better at playing the run and dropping into coverage? Are they better at being disruptive in general? Do they command double teams or for opposing teams to change their game plans to account for them? Sacks are what every fan always points to, but they're not the most important thing.

He’s a shinier Mario Addison but the organization values him like Peppers. In fact if you look at Addison’s 3 years here where he was a starter its almost identical production to Burns’s 3 years as a starter. Are we SURE we couldnt have Haynes fill in for Burns and he wouldnt get the same amount of sacks?
