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.
