Seriously, that division is just as bad as ours was this year, but at least our division was once consider one of the best...Ryan,Brees,Cam, era...(remember Indy was king in that divison for a long time too)...and all he did in Philly was hold a clipboard..Doug ran that show...but wait there's more...

Take away HOF QBs...Luck and Rivers...ok, some people forget Great QB mask poor coaching...

19-22-1 without a proven QB on the roster...and might I add again that's in the worst division in the NFL.

 

Now Wilks record no better but give him a HOF QB I'm sure his record would've been better.

Using that logic, what was Belichick's record without Tom Brady?   Very few coaches win without proven qbs no matter who they were.

Wilks needs to slow down with the racism stuff through his representation. they named an interim they thought would have zero chance of being in the conversation once the actual coaching search started, but he took a team with .500 talent to a .500 record and apparently that should have made him the slam dunk choice regardless of what our intent was when we released Rhule. It was great that the team showed a pulse after Rhule was fired, but is that more an indictment of how much they had tuned out Rhule or an endorsement of Wilks? We remember Week 17 and how anemic the offense was. That was 11 weeks into his interim tag. I can't stress enough that the interim tag was a nod of respect to Wilks, but in no way intended to give him the impression he was the leading candidate on a staff they wanted to entirely eliminate prior to the next season. They awarded him a platform to help find him his next job and that's exactly what happened. No racism. They just already decided what direction they were going with an offensive head coach and Wilks didn't fit the bill and his previous head coaching experience went awful.

Couldn’t agree more with Snith’s tweet but I’d add the landscape of the League was a driving factor in the hiring of Reich. This is why from the outset Tepper and co wanted a coach with offensive background. It pretty much stacked the odds against Wilks getting the job, although he rightfully deserved consideration and was a finalist. Getting one with Reich’s resume and experience was the difference maker.

One reason I’m glad we made the decision early is that I hope we get the best m coordinators we can (not McAdoo or Holcomb) and we can interview the guys who did well on the staff (Campen and Tabor).

According to some report; frank has already interviewed a list of coaches and showed that to the panthers crew.....hence they were impressed, feels like it was round one too.

I'm happy about Frank Reich as our new HC. Wilks, for all the feel good rah rah around him, was not the answer. Against Cincinatti, Pittsburgh, and the last loss against Tampa, he really poo the bed. No adjustments, and just settled in for a "We'll get 'em next time" attitude. Good luck on your future endeavors, Wilks! Thanks for getting us back to shore while we were out in the wilderness for so long with Rhule.

SMH, I really hope you are trolling, otherwise you are the least knowledgeable person in this forum. You made up that he didn’t win in Indy then you try and pin 4-12-1 on Reich? FYI, there’s 17 games a season now in case you missed that change in 2021. I’m pretty sure in one of your other unintelligible posts that Reich was fired after going 3-5-1 this year. It was Saturday, his replacement that went 1-7.

Yeah, I was wrong, and knee jerked, and didn't do any research , I don't pay attention to many teams but ours , and all I knew was that he was fired, I guess I was hoping for a more interesting coaching hire, but we would have to gut ourselves for that , so this is probably for the best

And where's our proven QB on the roster...

oh he'll draft Levis (Darnold 2.0)....and watch that stink...or sign a FA(Daniel Jones) and yeah u see where this is heading...

Clearly Tepper hates the Keep Pounding motto so why not change the whole damn team name to who we really are...

Now introducing your 2023 Carolina Mediocrities...

Panthers announce they have hired Frank Reich, who took the first snap in team history.
The former Colts coach becomes the first head coach in Panthers' history with a strictly offensive background.

I was there in Atlanta. AWESOME first game. We lost in overtime and there NFL world knew they'd given us too much talent to start a team.  Frank did well.   There were more Panther fans in Atlanta then falcons

Wishing him our best to bring us out of this 5 year debacle

Playing the race card here is really fuging stupid for Wilks. He should have told his lawyers to keep this poo to themselves. 

Not hiring Wilks as the HC has nothing to do with him being a black man, it has everything to do with him not being HC material in the NFL.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
