Steve Wilks refutes the media's perception that the Panthers "tried to tank this year"

This is certainly an interesting statement. Whether intentional or unintentional, could be some implications that come along this:

Now, it would be no surprise if the Panthers tried tanking behind the scenes. That much is obvious as to why they'd do that. But it is interesting that Wilks made a public statement like this...

What say you?

I say he crazy. If they were trying to tank, damn sure don't tell anyone and keep that hidden in house. I'm happy they arent trying to tank though so I can see some fans on here get angry after every win since they insist the only successful QB will be one picked 1st or 2nd overall.

If he's talking about the organization, I think he just took himself out of the HC conversation for next year.  However, he was probably referring to some fans and media.

Wilks is right.  They did try to tank.  They got rid our best player and chose the only former HC who had successfully tanked before.    It should have been clear when Tampa fell apart this season that we were going to need to part with more players to truly tank.  Fit chose not to, so here we are.

Speaking out of school on this is not going to help Wilks win the HC job tho.  Fit and Tepper aren't going to appreciate it.  Wilks has to make the playoffs now to keep the job.  If he came close, they might have given him the benefit of the doubt, that's not happening now.
