Bye Bye Wilks

Playing for the season and your job and he doesn’t go for it on 4th and 1 twice. Then I hear he’s telling his players to be aggressive. Clearly not head coach material, not even sure if he should be a DC. 

He shouldn't.  He was bad at it here, he got a HC job based on the insane talent we had (same way Rivera kept his job 7 years too long and got another one).  When Wilks was our DC before the defense regressed from McDermott because Wilks calls soft bitch defense that even the talent on those mid teens Panthers teams couldn't excel in like they had before.

I like Wilks. Just want an offensive minded guy in here. I thought that's what Rhule was when he was hired. Heck maybe he was. I still have no idea what his specialty was. 

Rhules specially is BS artist. Nebraska fans have already bought in. Wilks is a good DB coach.  Not even sure he is a good DC

Wilks did a fine job and I still have plenty of concerns with David Tepper and his ownership but I don’t blame him at all for wanting a progressive offensive mind. Reality is Wilks conservatism changed that game today. I understand we were short handed but that game could have ended entirely different had we gone for those fourth and inches to prolong a couple of those drives early. There’s a chance you hire a dud obviously but sometimes you have to roll the dice. I was even kind of selling myself on Wilks because I didn’t trust us to hire anyone better but I realize now that’s a losers mentality. Go get Steichen and make an aggressive move for a young QB

Take Fitt, Ben, Sam, and Burns with you

Of those 4, surprisingly, Sam was the least of the Panthers problems this season. 

He also had his best game offensively today which against any other team, would've resulted in a win.

Unfortunately our Defense or rather -EFENSE couldn't stop a nosebleed today.


I would Jettison whomever the DC was along with Wilks.  

 

Sam, I would at least consider keeping around just as a solid backup or bridge.

    • At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.
    • I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.
    • Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
