Current players mad that Wilks isn't hired.

Former players mad that Wilks wasn't hired AND the Bountygate prick is the new coach? While giving up a treasure trove of picks I'm sure? Whew, put a microphone in front of Smitty as soon as it happens if so. 

But, I think it's more of an "interview" to pick his brain and see what he says his plan would be. Which, I'd also take with a grain of salt since I doubt he'd give two shits about coming here. Unless Tom Brady followed him and then we all go insane having to root for those two.

Weird move. Guess we’re doing our due diligence but no way I give up our 1st for him 

If the Panthers could get Sean Payton without giving up draft picks, I would be all for trying get him. 

However, since that would be impossible and considering the obvious needs the Panthers have to retain draft picks, my opinion is he would cost to much to get.

I can’t say that hiring Payton would translate to a Lombardi trophy, but I can tell you that it would give us instant credibility among the league in attracting free agents, put a$$es in seats and drum up interest in the team. Does that translate to the W column, hard to tell. I personally believe if the get a rookie Head Coach we will have to go through a year or more on the learning curve. How to manage the game.

It’s also worth noting that history is against Payton in some ways. No head coach in NFL history has won Super Bowls with two different squads. He has also been blessed with Brees, a future Hall of Fame QB, for most of his career. The Saints went 9-8 in Payton’s only season without Brees. Payton has an impressive 152-89 regular-season coaching record. He took the Saints to the playoffs nine times in his 15 years as head coach. However, it’s worth noting that the Saints failed to get past the NFC Championship round after winning the Super Bowl in his fourth season on the job.

Yep.

I'm pretty sure people in every fanbase that got a Super Bowl winning coach thought they were on a path to championship glory.

Every single one of them, without fail, has been disappointed.

Hiring one of those guys guarantees nothing.

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

      You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
