I'm not calling for him to be fired, but I don't get the hype. Last 7 weeks of the season his defense was ranked 32nd in the league. If I were a Giant or Cardinals fan right now I'd be screaming that he's a front runner for the head coaching job. Not saying he can't improve, but I'm stunned by the hype.

Turnover and takeaways were down which was disappointing with all the pressure he brought. I think the pressure and scenarios in which he blitzed became a bit predictable and as a result he hung our weak secondary out to dry more often than he should have. I preferred McDermott but it’s tough to say after just a year under Wilks. I also think if Wilks had stayed coaching the DBs we probably would have seen continued improvement from Bradberry and Worley as opposed to them taking a step back; which it feels like for me at the moment.

Left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't say I want him replaced but if he doesn't get a head coaching job this year and doesn't improve next year I'd want him gone. I think the defense under performed in the second half of the year and playoffs considering the talent levels all around on defense. Bradberry regressed this year when he should've taken a step forward. Worley didn't regress but he didn't take that step forward either. And it seemed Wilks had no clue how to properly use Captain and Shaq. I don't think it'll be a big loss if he gets hired away from us here, but I wouldn't say that I want him gone this year either. He deserves more than one year to show that he could improve. It was his first year as coordinator.

Damn, our defense was really that bad for that long of a stretch? I know for sure we gave up far too many big plays but the players on the field should share blame for that.

As far as comparing him to McD goes, I'd say Wilks' first year here was better than or close to McD's first year here. But compared to McD the past few years? Not as good. And regardless, this is Rivera's D. It'll always be solid or even amazing as long as Rivera is here. The coordinator matters but not nearly as much as OC matter with Rivera as HC. I think we'll turn this D around next year and have it back where it belongs in the top 5-10, whether Wilks stays or goes.

Pressure, yes. Everything else, no. Luke was screaming all year long and didn’t look comfortable or satisfied. Nor did he look like the surest tackler in the league. Our cbs played with zero confidence and always seemed to be playing catch-up . Not super impressed with the product on the field.

It felt like the defense as a whole regressed throughout the year. My biggest problem is that blitzes backfired against QB's too often and we allowed too many big plays in situations where it should've been stopped far earlier. I do like the aggression but we didn't back off when opponents used that tendency against us.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
