I’m a big fan of Steve Wilks and I know he has the locker room and fans right now. But I don’t think his style of football will win the Panthers a Super Bowl. That last game against the saints was almost unwatchable. I think Sam Darnold had like 43 yds total yds passing. If we are going to be a defense only and just run the football team , we will never win a championship in todays NFL. That’s why I want a offensive minded head coach. Somebody like Shane Steichen, Ken Dorsey, Ben Johnson. Hell even Jim Harbaugh. I’m tired of watching John Fox /Ron Rivera style of football.

I agree. Unfortunately the OC turned head coach route isn't without it's risks either. It's a roll of the dice but it is time we tried something different.

Every new HC candidate is a roll of the dice.

You need a guy who is smart, a leader, and adaptable. I don't care who they hire as long as they check all those boxes. Unfortunately we as fans aren't in the interviews so we don't know who among the candidates checks all those boxes.

Wilks to me is 100% a leader and a smart dude. I have my reservations about how adaptable he is which is why I feel like he is just Rivera 2.0.

Yeah with Wilks we already have a good idea of what his ceiling is. If that's all we're after we could have just kept Ron Rivera. But it's a different league now. With the changes in the division we need a head coach that can get our offense firing on all cylinders. No more worst in league history offensive performances. The Saints game made it clear what must be done.

Has there ever been two head coaches for one team?

Can we keep Wilkes, and then hire the Eagles guy and have them work as a partnership? Two head coaches working together. It’s so crazy it might just work. 

Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson are the closest thing. McVay did have Wade Phillips.

If the goal is to hire a HC, Wilkes check the boxes.  The question is whether we ran because we didn't have a qb or whether he prefers to run all the time. Second, why do we assume that we can't find an OC without hiring one as head coach.  Or that these OCs with. no head coach experience will come in and not take w or 3 years to learn how to be a head coach like Rivera.

This was the same rallying cry that brought us Matt Rhule. 

Rhule wasn't an offensive minded coach with NFL coordinator experience though. There were red flags when the news broke that we were hot for him like his record against ranked teams.

      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
