So it looks like we'll have Panthers' satellite teams upstate and in the Big Apple haha

....but...I wouldn't put much stock in Wilks.  He's an easy target for outsiders to connect dots with but DG didn't pick the coaches that were in place when he arrived.  This is his first chance at that.

I think Wilks is OK, but we just made the Bucs look like the Patriots in their prime. Receivers wide open and missed tackles. Maybe the next month is his chance to show he is ready. Win a SB and you can guarantee he will be a head coach somewhere next year.

Wilks is not good.

Wilks has only been a coordinater for a year, and has the defense in the top 10. Top 10 with a secondary that’s not very good. People preach on how it would be foolish to give up on players or coaches after a year, what makes this situation different

Part of the reason this secondary’s not very good is how predictable Wilks is with 3rd down blitzing. Most offenses counter quite easily and stress the secondary to do the impossible.

Well, obviously there’s got to be a reason he’s blitzing so much. Maybe it could be to mask for the secondary not being as good as you and others think. Hell, Bradberry can’t even turn around around when the ball is in the air. No need to trust him on a receiver for too long. Worley is the king of PI’s. He’s having trouble staying on his man, so you don’t want him left with a receiver too long. Coleman has clearly regressed, and it’s quite clear Norman (the guy Wilks helped molded) made him.

Wilks has made some questionable decisions, but to say he’s not good is asinine. His defense is still top 10

The blitz would be just fugin fine if the DBs weren't 36.7 yards off the LOS.....literally any person with 1 arm could complete passes to the WR with that much space....

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
