Players hoping to help Wilks win the full time job

I'm just happy Wilks is operating in Charlotte where he's comfortable and has a great support system.  I know it feels good to him to be running the Panthers, I'm sure he felt on an island in Arizona and his consequent firing was a rough hand to be dealt. However, I don't want him to be our HC next year unless he leads us to the playoffs this year. Then I'd listen to HC opportunity for him if that happens.

There's a lot of ways to look at it.

Sometimes there's pretty good benefit to be found in not doing what everyone else is doing. In the NFL, it can mean that other teams who've loaded up to battle against the most common type of scheme don't necessarily have what it takes to deal with you.

On the flipside, it's definitely true that more and better offense is where the league is headed. You've got to be able to keep up with that, and league rules have made that increasingly difficult for defensive coaches to do.

Tough decision...

I’ll add that a fundamentals-first team that emphasizes execution over flair could overcome whatever mismatch the new rules create.

I would say this, historically speaking...

I've seen a lot of cases over the years where players supported their interim coach getting the full-time job.

Can't say I remember many of them succeeding.

Certainly there have been a few, but more often than not it's an uphill battle that ends in failure.

Wilks could be one of those rare exceptions, but they're rare for a reason.

Wilks is a motivator.  He knows how to get the most out of his players.  He knows how to make them accountable.  I think if he continues to win and shows he can get the most out of our offense than he should be retained.   If he can get McAdoo to do better than imagine what he could do with a young offensive minded OC.  

If he does well, Keep the entire staff together minus McAdoo.  Get an OC that has an imagination and the ability to adjust. 

I mentioned that hiring a good offensive minded head coach means you would never have to worry about changing schemes if your OC gets his own gig.  @Mr. Scot reminded me that the same applies for a good defensive minded head coach. 

I will say, if we somehow get an opportunity to get Peyton.  I would want Peyton to offer him the DC position.  It's a step down but he might get another opportunity as a HC later down the road by showing off his defense.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
