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

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
