Had the opportunity to write up my thoughts on Wilks and his candidacy for head coach and thought you all would enjoy.

As usual thank you all for the support and no I don't get paid for clicks 🙂

Well said Natalie.  I agree. Also..nice getting your write up in USA today!

Wilks has had command of the team from the start.  He has made the changes that he could and the team is better for those changes. He seems to have a high football IQ.  He is taking what he was handed and transformed the team.  Imagine if he has the chance to make decisions about his staff.  Not just firing the bad eggs but bringing  in some good assistants.  With the direction Wilks has this team going this should be an attractive job for a good OC candidate.

I love the idea of becoming an elite offense. It's not happening this season. 

The NFC playoff teams are likely to be Philly, Minnesota, San Francisco, Dallas, Washington, and New York plus either us or Tampa.

There isn't a Bengals level offense in that group. Maybe Philly. Maybe Dallas, but that's probably a stretch. That's all I was pointing out.

I’m talking about the future and I don’t see it by keeping Wilks as HC going forward

I guess we have another decade of "play not to lose" Foxball incoming. Beat the bad teams, get smoked by the good ones. Winning season every other year, playoff push every 5 if we happen to draft well.

It's sad that the Rhule experiment has us so traumatized that we're ecstatic to have another "Mister .500"

There is always a bump when the head coach is fired and the interim steps in (the media idiots cry about how so and so deserves the job). Only a fool buys on the bump so Tepper will probably retain Wilks who will look for an OC, get not takers, and retain McAdoo.  If we have to hire a defensive guy why not the DC at the niners? Would rather have an offensive guy that can help pick and develop a qb.

If we win 5 of our last 6 games, how’s that falling?

Denver = sucks but we scored on a good D; lol at their offense. 

Seattle = doesn't suck but not world beaters and down 1st and 2nd rbs

Pitt = sucks

Detroit = losing record not indicative of decent team (tickets to be had for $25)

Tamp = sucks

New Orleans = sucks. (tickets to be had for $16).

So we win 5 out of 6 with no wins vs. a decent team.

gotta beat the teams on your schedule. 

if beating those teams make the panthers suck, what does losing to them do?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
