Sam Bradford will have made 134 million after next year, which his 9th year.

I hope for Steve Wilks sake that Bradford has something left.

Wilks is way in over his head. I'm pretty sure he will do a McAdoo.

Wilks was in over his head as a defensive coordinator.

This. I certainly like Wilks as a person and can see why guys want to play for him, but as much as people ragged on Shula, Wilks called some bad games too. I'm honestly not unhappy he moved on.

His blitzing style worked well at the start of the season when we were facing subpar SBs, but he was leaving Worley and Coleman on an island time after time blitzing against guys like Ryan, Brees, and even Jameis the 2nd time when he wasnt scattershot and we paid for it big time.

I wonder if Rivera stepped in at some point and reigned him in towards the end of the year. I know the secondary personnel wasn't great last year, but when the secondary struggled as bad as ours did with a very good pass rush like we had, you have to blame the scheme too.

Anyway, I wish Wilks well but he has his work cut out for him in that division with 3 good QBs now and having Bradford, who truly has made the most money in NFL history as an average at best QB.

Guys will like playing for him and he won't be moronic or lose the team like McAdoo, but he will need a big bounceback season from David Johnson and Bradford to really play well to have a chance at the playoffs. Finding a long term franchise QB will be his biggest challenge. 

I think he gets at least 3 years bc he is a great person and has a head coaching presence. Whether he can find a QB or install successful schemes remains to be seen.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
