Found this on my twitter timeline. Makes some sense in a way.

Have a look:

Panthers DC Steve Wilks and former Panthers GM Dave Gettleman: Wilks impressed in his interview last year with the Rams and has only enhanced his profile since replacing McDermott. Several wired-in people have told me Gettleman is the front-runner for his old team, the Giants, who are consulting his old boss, Ernie Accorsi -- just as Carolina did when it hired Gettleman.

It would make sense. Then again, we've never really seen Dave with his own preferred coaching staff, considering he was benevolent enough to keep Rivera around for a little while longer.

But even so, he'd likely be comfortable around Wilks. Considering Wilks' solid football knowledge and much better personnel to execute his aggressive scheme with the Giants, it's a match made in heaven.

What say you?

Screw that I don't wanna give up Wilks

I don't really want to either, considering if this defense had an averagely decent secondary we'd be scary good with Wilks. Then again, Wilks does have a problem trusting poor secondaries too much and giving them little help and too much responsibility.

He'd likely not have that big of a problem in the Big Apple. And the Giants defense would go back to being scary good.

Just stating the facts.

 

Hey, WCU played App the other day in B ball.  Did you watch?

 

In other news, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas friend.  I miss our banter back and forth from long ago.  Hope you are well.

Any evidence to back up your supposed “facts?”

Man, damn. If this goes down, that means the Panthers have produced two NFL HCs, a GM, and had a GM fired to go on to get another job immediately all the while producing ZERO Lombardis. 

You'd think we'd have a trophy case to rival the Pats' the way we've been bleeding talent out of this building.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
