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.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
