That may depending on who's available that will be willing to compete for the starting spot. They will most certainly add another rookie to the room and Fitterer will not play that 2 vet competition bs again because Tepper will not allow it. This is about to get interesting. 

okay...unpopular question here but : What are the chances that Vet is Sam...again?  lol

@kungfoodudeI'm sure you're as "whelmed" as I am with this hire.

I wanted Steichen.

But whatever.

At least it's not anyone like Matt Rhule.

Let's see what OC / DC he hires. 

Yeah, I mean it's fine. Not the big exciting splash but we hired the first offensive background head coach in NFL history. That is finally a change.

Hopefully he puts together a very good staff. That should be the big benefit of him.

I'll never understand the undue Wilks hate. It's more rooted in emotion than logic.

That said, Frank was my first choice with Wilks second.

I don't think it's necessarily hate at all. A lot of people see him as another Fox and Rivera, both guys who were loved in the locker room and underwhelmed on the field. He beat teams with horrible run defenses and had no other game plan for those that had good ones. Personally, I don't consider winning the division with a losing record winning anything.

I feel very underwhelmed by this hire. Wilks would have probably felt the same.

Andy Reid, Bruce Arians, Pete Caroll times two, Bill Belichick, Gary Kubiak, Tony Dungy,Jon Gruden, and Dick Vermeil were all retreads who won the big game and that's just this century.  In fact i'd say it's more common than not that a coach who isn't coaching for the first team that hired him wins the superbowl.  I like Reich and hopefully we give him someone better than Darnold to work with

VERY interested to see how he plans to deploy the offense.  Is he going to craft it & play-call? Or is he going to find a younger guy to run with one built around his framework?  And who would that be.  

His role in our offense & the OC hire becomes mission critical now.  Hopefully he has some good dudes in mind.

Yeah, Wilks would have been a feel good story had he crushed through the easy schedule and won 9-10 games on his way to playoff berth. Instead....it felt like the old Fox/Rivera days.

I would say he is an option.  I'm sure the FO is open to it but will Sam be? 

I think he would.

I mean...he's already familiar with the players on team and I don't think he'd care to have to pack up and move elsewhere again so soon after finally getting the 2nd half of his couch.  😏

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
