All I see is that he’s not as stubborn about personnel. Rivera woulda held onto CMC and kept running him into a wall every week. And if Fitterer got rid of CMC anyway, there’s no way Blackshear would be getting the opportunities he’s getting under Rivera. Bozeman would still be on the bench. Etc. 

Dunno about Bozeman - although Rivera was very loyal to his guys, it was mostly to the detriment of rookies versus good veterans. But you are right on CMC and one of apparent benefits of Wilks over Rivera.

However, I'm a little afraid to crown Wilks that way yet since we've had very little time overall with him...

I have accepted that the panthers will most likely make the same mistake and Wilks will be our HC for the next 3-4 years with no back to back winning seasons or Super Bowl wins because he is a clone of Rivera and we wont be contenders until sometime in 2028-2030 if we hired the right coach a couple years prior after Wilks is fired around 2026.

Under ron

Terrace Marshall would still be inactive

Raheem Blackshear would still be on the practice squad if even on the team

Baker would still be here playing like ass

we would still be forcing it to McCaffery

 

 

 

I don't know, I mean Bonnafon got a decent amount of Carries,  But overall, Ron is like a lot of old school coaches in the NFL today.  He overuses his best running backs.  Don't know yet if Wilkes does that.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
