Is it safe to assume Steve Wilks is coming back as DC next year?

Dude is definitely getting fired from Arizona. Panthers seem to have a big opening at DC after the failure of Eric Washington. Safe to assume he's coming back?

Can’t be worse than Washington. Heck, maybe Norman will get cut, we sign him and plays with Wills again, he has expressed how much he loved playing for him.

Not so sure about that. He wasn't even that great here. If we are definitely keeping Rivera he should keep running the D. Feel bad for Wilks, he's a good guy and I think he is a good leader and could be a better HC than he was DC for us. Was hired as a HC way too early and then put in a very sh*tty spot in AZ this year. Stupid to hire a HC for 1 year and then fire him at all, let alone when the GM gave him zero talent and a rookie QB who was not even close to being ready.

It's not safe to assume, but it's a possibility.  I didn't think he was all that great, but he had a pitiful secondary to work with.

A bonus would be some familiarity with out defense after 3 straight different Dc's.

But for those who want Ron fired, remember that there just aren't enough OT's to go around in this league?  I think the same is true with coaches.

Ill take him back in a heart beat.

 

Some didnt like his blitzing.  But dude got more pressure in 1 game than we did this whole season.

 

Only issue with him and his blitzes.  It left Bradberry on a island and exposed him.  You need GOOD CBs not Solid CBs for his D

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
