He was put in an impossible situation here.  His future as an HC...either here or somewhere else is on the line.  One thing that really impresses me is his character.

Quote

Panthers coach Steve Wilks is moving on from the controversial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that receiver DJ Moore was flagged for in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 37-34 overtime loss in Atlanta. “One thing that I’m not going to do and we’re not going to do here is try to officiate the game. They made that decision, they made the call. And we’re going to move forward with that,” Wilks said Monday. “We just can’t put ourselves in that situation to even make that even a judgment call.”

 It would be easy to make excuses..or even mention that was a wrong call.  He refused to bite.

Quote

“Eddy is still a part of our team,.................Wilks said. “One guy did not lose this football game.”

This guys is a leader.  Have to believe that the players trust him.  He also seems like a coach that they players will play hard for...not because he give some stupid sht rah rah speech but because he is real and he believes in them.  

Watching the game Sunday, every time the cameras went to Wilks he looked the same.  You could not tell whether things were going well or bad.  The look was of a man who seemed focused.

He seems to have spent a lot of his time focusing on offense  with good results.  As I have said before, somehow he has gotten McDoo focused.

I know he trusts Al, but the D needs him too. There were some lapses that need attention.  Burns has stepped forward with accountability...I expect his leadership and performance will take a step forward.

The thing I liked most was the differentiation from Rivera’s blank stare and Rhule’s confused look.  When Moore dropped that 4th and 13 catch or whatever it was near the end of the 4th quarter, he crouched on his knees and actually showed some fuging emotion.  Idk if he’s the answer but I like him more than anyone else we’ve had in the past 4-5 years

I like how he's handling things. My concern is that Tepper see's him as a token candidate and he will not get enough say if he gets another year. I don't want another Rhule situation (as far as power) but he needs normal coach authority if he's going to build the team to his vision. I just don't know if keeping a defensive coach as head coach is the right thing if we are going to draft a QB (or develop Corral).

At least he can make himself a viable DC candidate.

with the trend towards 30 year old offensive nerds there is plenty of room for someone with extensive experience in thr nfl

Those nerds and their analytics will lose out to sturdy Defensive minded coaches 9/10 times. LA had some dominant defensive pieces when they won, Tom Brady had a stout defense.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
