It was fun. I was only a lurker back then here but that year was magical on many levels.

It's just rough now. Being bored during the season is just too damn brutal and doing it continuously is worst. I just want this season to end so we can talk about better football than I can really hope for yet.

The main benchmark for this season was accomplished when Rhule was ejected from the captain’s chair since Tepper was too stupid to understand that he should have been fired at the conclusion of last season.

Yeah it was the climax for me this season and it's the same thing it was for me once Tepper allowed a year 3, just live game practice and a wasted year. 

I have no idea what Tepper will do but I still hope he brings in help not in house.

Agreed, he needs to hire an outside consulting firm.

The very Panther thing to do is:

     beat Detroit. Lose to New Orleans 

That way, screw draft position and playoffs at the same time and still Hire Wilks 

the lions defense is susceptible to the run 

a veritable trifecta of Panther fandom 

That would be an ideal sceniro. The Lions defense may susceptible to the run but I thought the same about the Steelers run defense and we all know how that turned out.

The LIons D has been improving. But they are still susceptible to big plays, and giving up scores.

 

Our D is better than theirs. Their O is better than ours. Even Steven.

I will be surprised if our coaching staff is good enough to game plan to take advantage of their weakness and open up the passing game if the Lions put eight men on the line to try stopping the run game, the way the Steelers did.

His actions made him absolutely firable but Wilks was open about how bad it was and helped to oust Rhule by having an option to replace him. 

Wilks was very critical of Snow which was who proped up Rhule and then fired Snow first thing with Tepper's blessing.

Anyway you cut it Wilks was part of the internal friction during that process. Not saying he was wrong at all just something to be mindful of if they try to make Wilks part of the new HC's hiring requirements.

So you're saying he is an agent saboteur for any coach that he works with?

That is a bit of a leap. All coaches? It's just a point of potential friction. I hope the new HC goes in a different direction than Wilks m.o. and that is certainly an easy point of friction. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't but it sure wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.

They run mostly Cover 2 or Cover 3. They want to get pressure from the front 4. It's a stop the run on the way to the QB type rush. LBs are iffy, and the Secondary misses assignments all the time. It is getting better, but they were the worst to start with.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
