PFF grades from Panthers Week 5 loss to 49ers (Ekwanu and Brown excellent, CJ Henderson horrific)

Yeah but Wilks also apparently hated the way the defense was run overall. 

If he struggles under Wilks/Holcomb then I think it is safe to say he isn't a guy.

I would like to see him play for actual NFL guys.

Wilks is a cover three guy. He likes his CBs playing off the line in soft zone and reading the QB to maximize opportunities for INTs. The problem is that we have a bunch of man cover CBs. Like McAdoo, Wilks was never a fit for our talent and was just a resumé hire for Rhule to show Tepper he can get real NFL coaches to work for him.

Henderson is trash and the Jags figured that out very quickly and got what they could get and moved on.

At what point will we realize Shaq is a bust. Dude has never stood out except for a few times a year when Luke was there to tell him what play was being ran by the offense. Good leader, average player, not worth 24 mil next year

Shaq isn’t a bust.  He is a solid LB. 

Shaq is following in the footsteps of Luke, Davis, Beason and Morgan.   Solid LB play isn’t what we are accustomed to and for the first time in a LONG time we don’t have an elite LB.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
