Allen and Mahomes say hello. I think it's a safe rule to follow but the 2 best QBs in the NFL says there is a chance.

Starters needed: DE, DT, LBer (need to see scheme but MLB is likely), TE and last but never least a QB. Could upgrade if big improvements are not made by the end of the year/resigned: C, OGs, WR and CB.

I love being the seller in these kind of deals. I would be pissed if we traded for an injury prone but great RB with those picks. Seems like a desperation move with Lance busting. obviously someone's job is tied to that trade and they are still trying to build it up. Whew, that is looking like a long shot at this point. An importsnt lesson for us this offseason.

Or someone has at least as much dirt on him as he has on everyone else... No way he walks away from a cash cow unless he is forced out, publicly or privately.

The fact Rhule wanted total control with almost nonexistent NFL experience tells you how bad that hire was and why I think someone who has worked under meaningful coaches in the NFL will have a solid chance moving forward. Wilks has the Rivera tree of experience and it shows. I think he might be an improvement by this point but it still feels way too much like Rivera for me to be excited about years more of that. Wilks showed what you don't take less than in a new HC. Stay away from the unstable guys who don't love the game and are selling BS and look for the regular hiring red flags. His time in Arizona was not great so you could flip it and say that because the other coaches haven't made HC yet they may be the better option because they are not an unknow vs that. I know Wilks can run a D but how the hell is he going to keep a good to great OC around?

McDaniels is already failing in NV lol so that takes care of the NFL Rhule as a HC. Doresy gives me those unstable vibes but their are other OCs out there. Hiring Wilks and being 7-9ish in wins in year 2 would be failing IMO. Next year isn't about Rhule or comparing to Rhule. It is really can you find a better HC than Wilks and the answer is yes as Daboll with the Giants is proving. Another OC that has a stud of a DC because no one with a brain wants to hire a defensive guy in this NFL. McD is the last one I can remember and he was propped up by Daboll and Dorsey is a noticeable step back from him. Tepper can afford to miss, just not the epic fail that is Rhule. I just don't want to sit through another conservative defensive HC, especially not one with Wilks coaching connections on that side of the ball.

Burn's isn't even a top DE or Edge guy. It is mostly about promise and ability still in his 4th year. Or is he? I went to look at any NFL rankings for that group and PFF (yes it's inaccurate) won't show but the top 3 in order. Can anyone with a PFF subscription pull Burns ranking from their site? nfl/grades/position/ed Just curious where he generally ranks.

I think hiring Wilks long-term will have about the same outcome that Ron had in DC. Great DCs and nothing more unless the rules start changing away from where they are headed. All the culture changes Ron brought to DC were good for one year and then his limitations have been on display since then. We can and should try to do better. I respect the man, he has earned it but that doesn't change any of his limitations. There is nothing about fair in this conversation. It's like saying it's not fair the best safety isn't paid half what the best QBs make, it is just the value of ability AND position they play. DC that are really good can be found all over the NFL. And as far as the McDaniels comparison, if you hire a known failure at HC than that is on you. There are some OCs out there that are very promising without his well documented issues. Do you think Wilks could win a SB? I don't. I have seen 2 defensive HCs lose in the big game here and I don't expect that trend to change anytime soon.

Even if he can hire a great OC he will have a lot of trouble keeping said OC. Just hire the offensive HC and make an offer to Wilks as a DC. Wilks is not the future of the NFL, he is the past. What makes him limited as a HC is what makes him ideal as an interim HC, good culture and conservative with zero expectations. I don't like much of his coaching connections so I doubt I would be impressed with his staff. I don't like his desire to play zone coverage. Run first this year is fine, next year with a rookie is expected for at least a while and after that is a failure in the NFL.

They are already teetering on the edge and if they waste their closest 1st rounders on a DE/Edge guy in line for a major payday then it would not take a lot to make them go over the edge by next year. They already can't keep up with contenders and Burns wouldn't fix their issues. They are already a fringe playoff team at best at this point with their QB deteriorating. If they don't find a good replacement they won't even be a fringe playoff team next year. We just need a pick way before 2024 if we are sending Burns away.

2 future 1st isn't enough and Akers shouldn't be on that table. They would have to throw in a player who isn't ruined by injuries for just those picks to work. It just doesn't seem like a great deal for us...yet. I do expect those picks to be valuable with how the Rams are operating. Seems like they are hell bent on burning through their future and I have no idea how they plan to deal with their cap or lack of picks in the future in 2 years.

He is also mean AF in the run game. Once he cleans up his rookie stuff he is going to be a top LT in this league.

Until he reverts to the old PJ he looks better than we have seen from Sam or Baker. If that changes then next man up. It really isn't complicated. I wish we would dump a QB for a late round pick for no other reason than just to not have to hear about one of them again.

I am so happy that we get the reminder of our games this year to give the players a shot to prove themselves and show how poorly roster management was under Rhule. Absolute garbage that all the guys stepping up now were not used at all or just ridiculously poorly. We got rid of 2 players (one of them who is really good), had to wait for an injury at C and then everyone looks amazingly improved from that point forward...after cutting out the 2 biggest cancers.

Nothing in the NFL is guaranteed. Injuries happen and draft picks bust. IDK what Burns is asking for or where a new coaching crew would play him, edge hopefully, so it is way premature to pretend anyone here knows what's best beyond guessing. My hope is to ride out the year and make those decisions after other things are decided. Even if we trade him we can franchise him after his 5th year so there is plenty of room for a trade down the line if that is the route that becomes best. I imagine there have been contract discussions or at least preliminary talks. A mega deal doesn't really excite me with where we are currently. He is a very good player but our general direction is in question leaving me thinking now is not the time to fug with the cap more in future years before we have a clear cleanup path set.

Little Ceasers... The best pizza joints are not corporate, however you like your pizza.

They need to put it into the CBA and I hope they decide to make that push.

Looks like a less successful billionaire who made money off of predatorial practices of the poor. Other than being local, which means nothing to ME in the big picture with a person like that, he looks like another flavor of poo than the one we ended up with...just poorer. I'll save my love of ownership for when they get rid of the billionaires. Until then they are all aspects of the sport we fans have to suffer through and nothing more.

Elf is on the shelf and Boze is starting like he should have been doing all year.

OTs and C killing it. Keep Bozeman please! Our OGs look like a liability and is an area that could actually be upgraded but no need to blow it up. Just draft some OGs and let nature take its course. Great time to draft a rookie QB. We a finally in a good spot to protect and allow them to thrive vs survive.
