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.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.

      Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
