Now I know the term gentrification has one meaning to most which usually starts an ugly argument but it also can mean “the process of making someone or something more refined, polite, or respectable”. 
 

I say that to say this, if the more “respectable” route was to hire Wilks would we really have had a proper staff in place under him just to suffice the medias push for more black head coaches just to quell an ongoing but true argument that there aren’t enough in those position. Rather than utilizing affirmative action tactics and setting these gentlemen up to fail we have started something great with the staff we have built and are the  ONLY team with a black OC and DC. They were the best fit for the job and they were qualified enough to get HC consideration. Now I’m not saying they will be shoe in HC in the near future but how things are looking they are set up very well going forward and will gain the proper experience on the way to achieving that milestone. 
 

The article referenced below is a breath of fresh air to see positive news about our coaching staff and how we have incorporated diversity. This is not only the most exciting staff to date but probably the most diverse I have seen in my 3 decades of watching the NFL.

For those of you ready to poo post or read between the lines, I am an open minded person of color that does not let any personal bias dictate how I believe business should be run and just want to see the Panthers win their first SB. I don’t care how we do it I just want it to happen while I’m still capable of celebrating it to the fullest.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
