Is there still a case for Wilks?

I'm not going to say yes or no.  It depends on who else is out there.  I am not as hard on Wilkes as most people. He had little to no say in the roster and coordinators.  He also started with a 1-5 record.  He came in and made the Panthers competitive for the remainder of the year.  Darnold looked somewhat decent for the first time in a long time.

I said earlier in the week that Brady vs our defense without Horn scared me a bit.  That and some critical turnovers cost us the game.

Speaking of Ellis...

My understanding is that he's directing this at people who have communicated with him on Twitter. I can't say I've seen anyone show more vitriol toward Wilks than Rhule.

To anyone who would do that though, I'd call you an absolute moron.

Considering what is going on with Twitterverse that really isn't surprising.

It's not the case here. I have seen more 'stop comparing Wilks to Rhule' and I'm not sure I have seen 1 'Rhule was a better coach' takes here lol.

Proportion matters?   What does that mean

Rhule's contract, situation and length of employment vs Wilks...

Probably helps that some of our more persistent nitwits got banned over the course of the season.

(including one particularly dim bulb yesterday)

This board would have killed Rhule for losses like Wilks took against the Bengals, Steelers, and now Bucs. I don’t want to hear any of this “he did well with what he had” when the reality is his coaching has been suspect from the very beginning. 
 

Thankfully at this point it looks like most of the board recognizes this. Some of you still need to wake up and realize what mediocrity looks like. And how we will continue to show that if we make the decision to keep Wilks.

And he'd have deserved it.

Wilks may not be "the guy" but he's worlds better than Matt Rhule if for no other reason than that he's actually qualified to be an NFL coach.

Matt Rhule never reached that standard and likely never will.

He’s better than Rhule but my god that standard is about as low as you can go. The Panthers have to think they can do better than that. Have to.

I'd say "better than" is a huge understatement. Rhule was absolute dog sh-t.

I don't think Wilks gets the job, and I'm okay with that, but he at least deserves respect.

Wilks is great motivator and leader.  What he is not is a great head coach. Just because he could earn the respect of the locker room quickly and get guys to buy into his philosophy doesn't mean he's an excellent Xs and Os guy or game day manager.  He's better than Rhule by a mile, but that's not  a ringing endorsement because Rhule was utter garbage.

    • Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.
    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
