Wilks is allowing the correct decisions to be made. Players who actually give the Panthers the best chance to win are being played now. There seems to be an NFL level game plan in place. The coaching understands how to play the chess match with play calling now.

Wish CMC was behind the Bozeman led OL and allowed to play with patience behind the LoS.

I think Wilks is capable of leading a playoff team and should be given the chance to prove if he can build a championship team. If he can lead this team to the playoffs after all the mess he has been handed, he deserves a few seasons as HC. Or... DC if he can lure Byron Leftwich to be the HC and he mentors Leftwich.

The defense is playing more like an NFL defense and Wilks is game planning to cover the weaknesses players like Burns and Brown have had against the run by covering them up with a run defender. Rhule and Snow just let teams keep picking at those run defense weaknesses from Brown and Burns.

It's worth seeing how far Wilks can push this team and its foundation.

Panthers still need a better front office and scouting department. This Browns, Jets, and Lions level scouting isn't going to cut it.

My no 1 biggest nightmare.. We win 8 or 9 games this year, make the playoffs, we are all so happy and optimistic and we keep Wilks as our HC and Walker as our QB next year.

Meanwhile the Lions and Texans hire Steichen as their HC and draft one of the top QBs and go 12-5 next year while Stroud or Young have record breaking rookie seasons.  Meanwhile at the same time we go 5-12 or 4-13.

I suspect PJ is respected in the locker room as well, more than Baker and Darnold. He's a quiet guy, works hard, doesn't have a huge contract, they all know him, and he just wins games. 

That's the kind of thing Wilks would pick up on more than Rhule.

Playoff run and Wilkes gets the full-time gig. That's my first choice. I just want to win. I want this team to shock the world.

I don't see that happening, but I'd like this team to have a good bit of fight in it to look good for a perspective coach. (No playoff run and we're looking for a new coach). I think we can still find our franchise QB and him not be a top 5 pick. 

I'm just tired of losing. I mean that's still what I expect, but I'm tired of it. Last Sunday reminded me of what that felt like. I hadn't felt it in a while and I want more.

I'm so happy PJ made you feel again

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
