His pride is probably hurt that Wilks stepped in, fired some of his boys and the team immediately looked better.

I mean it makes sense without even listening. The players had given up on Rhule and his system/strategy because it was obviously not working against other coaches. A new guy steps in with some experience in the league and they will buy in and are excited to have something different that the previous ineffective system. If he is the guy next year he will have to do more than simply motivate his guys, he will have to "outcoach" his competition and make adjustments when needed. That's a whole different thing than lighting a fire under these guys who were tired of Rhule.

As an Auburn fan I was never impressed with Nix. He got benched for a game for Finley (who is terrible). Oregon’s system makes him look better than he is IMO.

I heard Stroud is an alcoholic who doesn’t enjoy football and has migraines. He can’t read a defense either. All the teams ahead of us should pass on him…….

I don’t think so…

Check out his 5th round tackles that have been starting most of the year.

I don't really agree with associating players with their schools as most of these schools have different coaches/different offenses. Alabama has evolved from a defensive powerhouse with game manager QBs like McCarron, McElroy, Croyle etc.., but lately they have been an offensive team with Hurts, Tua, Mac, and now Young. OSU went form Tressel's power running gimmicky offense to more of a layered passing offense with Day which is where Haskins and Fields came from. It's why they actually got drafted in the first vs every other OSU QB that went later or even switched positions. I do agree with the "buyer beware" comment about them having absolutely loaded teams. A lot of these guys will struggle for a moment as rookies because they aren't experienced or equipped to play through adversity.

Way to pull a Kevin Durant....

Seattle has Denver’s pick from the Russ trade.

Steelers have a nice lead at half. If they can hold on that has to help.

I’ve accepted we will win too many games for Stroud/Young. The question is do we lose enough to fall into the Richardson/Levis/Penix range or somewhere in between?

Moton, Icky, anyone than can play RT. DJ Moore might be a distant 2nd. We had some weak WRs.

Someone brought up only 4 have been taken in the first and 2 of the 4 were from like the 1940s. It just leaves Haskins (mental issues) and Fields (looks promising, but too early to tell).

So you want the new HC to bank his entire first season on a 3rd round rookie that is on IR and looked bad in his limited playing time?? I get keeping him on the roster and letting him compete, but that is one hell of a gamble...

I wouldn't take away any potential starter picks for him (1-5th). 7th maybe 6th or undrafted FA and I would let him try to earn a roster spot. Some humility would help him a lot. Is he even entering the draft? He should stay IMO.

Because if you compare anyone to Mahomes you get clicks!

Lol you broke a troll. Nice job!

It's probably the old PJ Walker troll reincarnated as a Sam Darnold troll.

Fool me once Samuel Richard Darnold…

Yeah by year 10 it will be “If we can just hire Andy Reid with an All Pro OL, Chase, prime Randy Moss, and Barry Sanders we can probably fix Darnold!”
