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.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
