Can Tepper find anyone better than Wilks?

Wilks will be hard to let go if they win the division. 

I'll say this up front: he was not somebody I would have considered when The Process was canned.  But, he got thrown into this mess, and I would give him or any interim HC a pass for their first week.  He's led the same team that The Process was getting 1-4 out of to 4-2 since the Rams game.  And he did this after we traded the guy who was most of our offense.

We can talk about the quality of the opponents in that stretch, but the man has no control over who stands on the opposite sidelines.  You play who the league booked.

Are there better HC candidates out there?  I think so.  Can Tepper find them?  What worries me about that question is what has happened every time Tepper tries to swing for the fences.  Limiting it to just HC hires, he is 0 for 1 but it was a disaster.

I'm not saying they should or should not give Wilks the job, just that he has made a strong case for himself.

His OC, who he didn't hire, not so much.

After watching (and defending) Cam against the crowd who wouldn’t give him his due because he wasn’t the elite passing QB, I think I can apply the same to Wilks. 
 

You might not have liked HOW Cam scored points but he scored as well as anyone. He moved the chains. That’s what his job was. Points. 
 

Wilks isn’t the sexy offensive genius winning games with wild offense, but he’s winning. 
 

I don’t give a poo. Just win baby. Just win. 
 

He’s making it hard to let him leave. That’s a damn good problem to have IMO.

I'm not sure. But we've won 3 out of the last 4 with a roster that rhule couldn't do poo with

Oh he's much better than Rhule.

If he keeps winning, then yes, he's HC next year.  He's got these guys playing hard. 

But I'm not ready to offer him a contract until we see the rest of the season is all.

Cam was elite in his own way and he expecting him to play the game like Brees did just to placate armchair QBs was a disservice to his talent.

Yup. And you saw how some viewed him, by only referencing his passing stats, and not including his rushing when comparing him to other QB’s. 
 

They didn’t get it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
