That's why I want Wilks. Not because he's 1A, but because he's far better than anyone Tepper can find. Plus, the players want him -- which, when he's not chosen, keep an eye on how tough it is to lure FAs here without paying twice the market rate.

Might as well bring Ron onto the staff after he's canned in Washington.

You’re insinuating that posters here who view Darnold as a better QB than PJ Walker are racist? lol & once again worthy of poo

Make sure to pass that msg along to Coach Wilks who stuck with Darnold as his starting QB. 

Wilks never said a bad word about either QB we aren't talking about him we are talking about these looney tune fans. At some point you can only attribute the Darnold infatuation to either mental illness or..other factors. It damn sure isn’t his record. He hasn't won a game in a 4th quarter on his own going on four years now. But you keep at it pooping posts fella.

It's also worth considering that the odds of Tepper hiring someone like Nathaniel Hackett, or even Nathaniel Hackett himself, are overwhelming. It's almost a guarantee at this point. Then, looking back, people will wish Wilks was kept.

Hey! How dare you forget Mrs. Tepper. Between the two of them and the wheeler dealer himself Scott Fitterer we for sure should be contending for Super Bowls very soon.

I wouldn't call it a defense force, I think it's people recognizing that Darnold looked pretty solid for 5 games and then sucked Sunday (which, btw, I predicted would happen). He's Derek Anderson: a good backup QB. He's not a starter.

2.8 passer rating in a game opposite Andy Dalton says we can do better even for the backup spot.

Definitely has a higher success rate though if the amount of HC OCs in the playoffs mean anything. 

I prefer to go offense and try a new path but Nathaniel Hackett is a fresh cautionary tale I cannot deny that.

That's one thing about the huddle. Whether it's Matt Rhule or Sam Darnold some folks reaaaally like certain types who seem nice and try hard even if they are literal losers in sports and never won anything.

There was 100x more hand wringing on PJ's behalf on here. Maybe you just didn't log in for a while.

Sam Darnold has had his own weird cringy defense force like Matt Rhule before him since we traded for the guy. PJ Walker had like 2 people who stuck up for him on the regular and one was a former Cam troll. Not even in the same league.

He was a con artist, plain and simple

When I see Matt I hear Frank Caliendo doing a John Madden impression just yammering on about anything. That was Rhule selling his con.

This was the same rallying cry that brought us Matt Rhule. 

Rhule wasn't an offensive minded coach with NFL coordinator experience though. There were red flags when the news broke that we were hot for him like his record against ranked teams.

Hopefully Tepper is underwhelmed by these guys’ interviews and drags his shriveled up brass balls begging back to Harbaugh

Harbaugh is probably asking for things Tepper doesn't want to give after the Rhule fiasco. He definitely wants his own GM at minimum. Not saying that is good or bad just what's likely on the table. I don't get why we are so attached to Fitterer given his overall record and the Seahawks have been doing even better since he left anyway.

Since Sam is so hated around here I guess I will go against the grain. Bring back Sam dammit!!!

PJ Walker got a lot of hate from the huddle too. Didn't see all this hand wringing on his behalf though. Guess he just isn't as interesting as Sam is eh.

Giving credit to someone who deserves it is being an objective fan. Darnold is a short term solution at QB, I haven’t read a post that states otherwise. Denying the fact that he’s been a part of turning the season around is idiotic. I swear to God some of you guys spend way too much time talking about the same sh1t, it never stops. And I thought my wife bitched a lot…

You don't give ten million dollars to a short term solution who just had one of the worst QB performances in league history because he's a nice guy. That's what people are arguing maybe read the posts of folks you are aligned with more. They are your people.

Every new HC candidate is a roll of the dice.

You need a guy who is smart, a leader, and adaptable. I don't care who they hire as long as they check all those boxes. Unfortunately we as fans aren't in the interviews so we don't know who among the candidates checks all those boxes.

Wilks to me is 100% a leader and a smart dude. I have my reservations about how adaptable he is which is why I feel like he is just Rivera 2.0. 

Yeah with Wilks we already have a good idea of what his ceiling is. If that's all we're after we could have just kept Ron Rivera. But it's a different league now. With the changes in the division we need a head coach that can get our offense firing on all cylinders. No more worst in league history offensive performances. The Saints game made it clear what must be done.

Ben Johnson is definitely intriguing. Looking to the Lions staff to save our franchise does make me shudder a bit though.

I agree. Unfortunately the OC turned head coach route isn't without it's risks either. It's a roll of the dice but it is time we tried something different.

My final thoughts on Darnold (at least for today) because I'm tiring of the discussion:

Oh yeah you're definitely tired of the discussion right that's why you're up at 7 in the morning already pooing posts that aren't overwhelmingly positive towards your favorite NFL QB. Seek help ECHornet.

I'm shocked TCU is getting bent over with no lube by Georgia

Thomas and Tremble sub 50 ohh wee mayne. Anyone who thought it was a good idea to give Ian Thomas an extension should be shown the door.

Haha PJ rated higher than Sam. I can buy that.

This has to be the most bizarre thread in the history of the huddle.  Some weird fuging takes going on here.  Are they really arguing that darnold is a top 15 qb?  What in the holy fug is wrong with you people and this is after a historically bad performance.  What the fug have you guys been watching the last few weeks? 

Seems we have some folks here who could use the kind of care only an inpatient psychiatric facility could provide.

The Darnold fans in this thread make the average New York Jets fan look like they're Mensa members.

Might as well find out which QB's she likes in this years draft class too.

@poundaway

Good to know after all your bluster and rambling about Wilks not being right for the job and not settling it turns out you love some good old fashioned nepotism.

Uhhh even if you're someone who thinks Tepper has gotten more flack than he should and some of the ire has been unreasonable there is simply no shining up this one. It's bad business. Nepotism is not going to make us a championship contender.
