Don't get me wrong, I don't give Wilks much chance of losing the "Interim" label, but he mostly did a good job today. Mostly! He looked like an NFL coach today.

 

Anyway, today should be the model as to why you spread the ball around, and actually let guys play as opposed to letting them waste away on the bench. 

If you open up the playbook, and let guys get an opportunity to execute, good things happen. Relying on one dude for so much of your offense (who is not the QB, of course) is NOT a formula for long term success, especially for a team without a franchise QB. 

These guys are in the NFL,  and when it comes down to it, they should be allowed to contribute, particularly when things are going south and other people aren't getting it done.

Great overall win. Nice game plan. Walker looked like a different guy today.  If we can beat the Bucs, we should be able to beat just about anybody on any given Sunday.

Wilks  learned from last week.  It was a great game!

PJ looked  better than Baker today. Baker's play has been absolute ass.

This was arguably the best that we've seen by a QB since number 1 was hurt.

Agree with everything except your last sentence. The Bucs are terrible.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.   
    • Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.
