Wilks is no idiot. 

We know him well enough that he Luke to be aggressive, and dictate to the other team, not just on defense,  but offense too. Which if most fans whom want an offensive minded HC will be honest,  that's what they want with their offense.  

I believe Wilks, with his own staff, can not just be a winning coach, but a Championship coach. 

I know I'm not with the masses on this opinion, but I truly believe it. 

I am, as always, keeping an open mind on whomever Tepper hires.

Why do believe this? I’m curious. I believe he’s a high character guy but isn’t the football brain we would need to get us out of the cellar. Hes Ron Rivera without fielding top defensive units as a coordinator

Because I have these things called eyes. I'm quite the observer.  This allows me to have my own opinions, not based on biased hyper bull.

He has some fine points and some I disagree with.  This is a weird quote though.   "We know already that Wilks would work out. The players respect him and generally want him to return. He grew up in Charlotte and is deeply rooted in the Queen City."

hes pushing the media narrative.  How do we already know he would work out?  He went .500 against one of the easiest schedules in the nfl.  Interim coaches often are really good that year and then fizzle out quickly once hired full time.  But the "we already know that Wilks would work out" quote is such a weird thing to say when you're trying to push your opinion as fact.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
