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.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
