We paid Jackson instead. Now both of our starting CBs are IR bookends. It was such a stupid move to let him run away after getting him for so cheap in 2021. He honestly set the framework for Burns' worth, less than Riddick's $15 per year.

Meh. Better coach than Wilks but hard for me to be super excited about this unless he is brining more to the table than I know about currently.

That is a bidding war that Harbaugh has been running like a pro for years. He leverages his contracts and jobs like a true mercenary.

I would love to see him under new management first. I can see the need for another WR but I don't think we have to take one in the first 2 rounds to get someone that can contribute. We have Moore and TMJ has upside and I did see more from him post-Rhule which leads me to hope he was BCed or Bozemaned. Draft a later WR or pick up a FA with a chip on a prove it deal. I would like a route technician but I am praying the new coaching crew comes in with actual player improvement skills.

He deserves to get fired with the work he has done to date. I also think we can do a lot better than him, hell Seattle's draft was a lot better without him the last year. He was a Rhule hire and there is no escaping that fact and it should be enough to have already moved on from him. Do not do a mega deal with Burns. Do not do anymore stupid contracts that push massive dead money back into unplayable years, it hasn't worked here and it's time to clear the books and start over. Save that strategy for when we have a QB that is worth a franchise type contract. Clean the house and get rid of the crappy players who were 'OOU' and not good enough to justify their pay, Thomas and Jackson come to mind. Basically do everything he hasn't done here and I could start to try to respect him, otherwise it's his name we will be called to be fired next at games.

I'm waiting for the coaching hires. I'm over terrible Panther football and I don't want to watch any more Rivera ball unless we are playing against it. We have a few weeks of wait and see ahead of us. Hey, maybe Tepper will clear the front office of all the poo left in Rhule and Hurney's wake...It's a long shot but it's still on the table if Tepper gets smart and hires a consultant.

We are still picking top 10. I get what you are saying but I see it as he set the floor for the team after the Rhule sized disaster. Going to another coach opens up all kinds of options now. Burns is on the table now, where he wouldn't have been with Wilks. I'm fine with CMC draft pick, even a late 2nd. Bad contracts need to get cleared and that was never on Wilks. He played guys, we got plenty of looks on everyone that was healthy and we have identified guys to debate over keeping vs walking for the new crew. I see no viable way of tanking at the coach or player level without creating more issues than they 'solve'. Keeping Rhule would have increased our draft pick but he would not have given us the answers Wilks has. We were not a NFL run team under Rhule & Co and under Wilks he brought it back up to the minimum, that isn't bad. It may all be frustrating but this isn't Madden. I think Wilks repaired some of the damage Rhule's incompetence did in his 2.5 years so that's not bad because it should make it a smoother transition for the next guy vs how we ended last year which was a huge problem for those goobers going into this year.

It's offical, burn it all down. JK lol kind of not lol

After Rhule's general BS approach I agree 100%. I still do not see how a deffensive coach can pull off convincing me at this point.

QB entitlement at it's maximum setting of 11. Yeah that and playing more than 10 off the line agaisnt Brady. The faces Wilks made when the camera hit him as the Bucs came back looked just like Rivera's. Just stare your will at it instead of actually adjusting.

I don't care where Wilks is from, him being a Rivera coach and clone is what I don't want to see again in my lifetime. Solid job given the circumstances, good human and meh HC material in the current NFL. I think we can and should try to do better.

Considering what is going on with Twitterverse that really isn't surprising. It's not the case here. I have seen more 'stop comparing Wilks to Rhule' and I'm not sure I have seen 1 'Rhule was a better coach' takes here lol.

Great case to stay in the NFL but no to the HC gig here. The only way I see him being retained is if Tepper can't land one of the big OCs though I would rather have Reich as a settle HC.

Too much. Our 1st, Burns and more? I would rather take a shot on an imperfect and less rated prospect who is paired with a HC with QB grooming abilities. Neither Allen or Mahhomes went top 5. If we had the right coach I would care less that we are not picking top 2. I don't want to see us do a Lance type trade.

Who is going to hire the new coach in DC? The team is being ready for sale and he isn't a terrible HC so how do they proceed to replace him when the new owners can and will do whatever they want after the purchase? Only desperate candidates will take that job when they have no idea who their new boss will be or want. I still think he makes it into 2023 as HC due to the situation and this is all just fan hope we are all too familiar with around here. Wilks isn't staying here unless the offseason goes very wrong for us again.

No idea. Ask me again after we hire the HC and get a look at his staff.

If only moral victories made you better than last in your division? No one to even replace him so he will get another year up there regardless. SSDD

Well Brown was close until this year. Terrible? No but his play until this year was not great. He earned not being a bust with his play this year. Mostly Shaq at 24 mil vs 12 saved is what I have heard mostly with some unnecessary shots thrown in. Once DJ signed that contract he opened himself to critisism, not hate but plenty of debate there. Horn is a talented player but way too injured, I wouldn't have a problem trading him or keeping him but with his injury issues looking at a 2nd contract and choosing an out while his value is high should be on the table with a new crew coming in. None of that is hate but if you love any of those players I would guess it sounds close to hate. Some people are losing their minds but that is not surprising given the situation. Yeah these guys fought hard but that is also literally in their job description. Call out the people just crapping on it all and not other who are just unhappy. I respected the fight but not the product but I am also ridiculously unatached emotionally so I also get the anger being tossed around atm. We all need a solid week away from this team. Im hoping the pkayoffs and coaching search will settle us all down with more hope than we have sniffed in 3 years.

I would love to see a complete rebuild starting with the front office but I'm not attached to any player on this roster nor does crapping on them unnecessarily bring me any joy. 1 more game of this wasted year and then we can talk about earning respect going forward because what I saw this year was not good enough.

It's almost over.

I thought Taylor looked worse. A lot worse.

Carr could go either way, pull a Wilson or a Payton. I don't see him making us SB contenders or building a quality team around him on those numbers so it's a hard pass for me. I want to see a rookie QB and let them build the team up around that, just make the vet cheap and run the ball. I don't see us as the 49ers looking for QB play to get them a SB or Rams pre-Stanford. This feels like a Wilson trap, maybe not that bad but bad enough.

Only as a cut. No trade and hell no to that contract. He isn't worth it even if the dead money is low. Let other teams choke on foolish contracts. The Seahawks did it right with Wilson and the Ravens look poised to do the same with Jackson.
