Of the QB's on your list, only one won his SB in the past decade in the modern pass whacky NFL. By the time this year's SB is played, Flacco's win with the Ravens will be a decade old, before contemporary rule tweaks and offensive philosophies made the pass all but dominant. Everyone else but Foles won their Lombardi in different eras with rules that let receivers get murdered going over the middle, battered at the LOS and as they got into their routes, and protected the QB's against pass rushers far less.

Citing QB's who won their trophies in different eras of football doesn't really make your point, it undermines it.

ok, still cannot see taking a Qb top 10 that is not a sure thing. Of course what is a sure thing? How many top 10 Qb picks in last 10 years have become franchise Qbs versus faded away, became back ups or failed all together? How many franchise Qbs versus busts are below? I count 8 (of 32)  that are or could potentially be franchise qbs.  It is a total crap shoot

I'm glad the players are happy right now but I'm tired of bad football. If you average the last 2 games then it comes out to not good enough. Looking at the whole of his work this year it's just not good enough, or it shouldn't be. 

His coaching connections are a negative. His coaching philosophy is a negative going from interim to full time, they are perfect for an interim HC. Having Holcomb tied to his hip is a big negative. You don't hire a HC to slip into the playoffs on a bad year, you hire a coach that can win a SB and hopefully keep contending for the next one. Wilks is very similar to Rivera, neither are bad coaches but neither are great coaches either, no matter how much their players love them.

Better win out then. If the players believe, I believe. 

But what I saw against the Steelers wasn't a team that wanted to keep their coach. So they might wanna figure it out in these next few weeks. I hope the lions game is indicative of the team we'll see going forward. 

As bad as that Steelers game was, it was an 8 point game and we responded.  Three out of four is not bad, and this is what Wilks has done without a mini and training camp to implement his philosophy.  I'm just not sure which candidate can come in and offer the same sort of improvement that Wilks has outside of Payton, but he isn't coming here.

 

Unless we can get a guy like Payton, hire Wilks.

The common theme I take away from these interviews between Derrick and Shaq is that some guys got special treatment and that didn't sit well with a lot of these guys.

I think McCaffrey and Side Show Bob were two of the special treatment guys and could be the main reason McCaffrey asked for a trade.  Wilks wasn't playing that game.

Rather odd then that you would start a post with a link to an article that promotes that very thought.  One could be forgiven for thinking you were in general agreement with the premise of the article, no?

I did not start the post with the link I replied to it. And nope I was not agreeing or basing my thoughts on the article, my opinion was Wilkes is as good as any other choice we know of now before I saw what Derek Brown said. Show me someone who is proven better than Wilkes I am all for it.

      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.
