He has no clue we could draft a stud qb who can preform like Trevor L but if you have a Urban Meyer running the show he’ll never ascend. Now with a solid coach and system he’s look like his former hiesman, winning,  and accurate self. And he himself can’t take his team out of purgatory because that’s not how it works lol. 

I’m not talking about Baker. There are no QBs are this roster that can win Super Bowls. 
Gotta take the chance at drafting one.

I wanna tank but it’s hard not rooting for coach wilks. I know cardinals fans think he was the worst coach ever but I’m not even sure how you can evaluate a coach after 1 season with Josh fuging Rosen as your qb and all the veteran losses they had after a mediocre 8-8 year and Carson Palmer retiring. That was a rebuilding team. He was never given a chance. And he wanted to draft Allen. If he was given 3 years which is generally acceptable with Allen he might’ve made something out there.
 

That said this team is not good. We have no qb. We might see some marginally better play but we’re still bad.

This is what we may face.  Tanking is a fan term not an NFL strategy.  Players don't go out on Sunday to intentionally lose so they can obtain a higher draft pick.   Our situation is very bleak, you can bet each player is going to do their best to win the next 12 games.  If we lose out, than it won't be because our players didn't give the effort.

So based on that, you are on the record saying Barry Switzer (40-24, .625) was a better NFL coach than Jimmy Johnson (80-64, .556).  Got it.

Oh, I didn't know Wilks won a SB.    What year was that?

Any more moving of the bar that you want to do?  You sound like Rhule, trying desperately to add some meaningless number to prove something.

But, to humor you, here is the discussion.  Both Johnson and Switzer coached SB winning teams (I would make the point Switzer watched idly from the sidelines, but he had the title of HC).  You said they are what their record says they are.  Which one was better?

Or you can add in their zodiac signs or some other nonsense to try and roll back your first statement.

Allen sucked his rookie year, it wouldn't have saved Wilks.

Lamar Jackson was still on the board when Wilks and co passed on him for Rosen.

Wilks was part of the management that chose Rosen over Lamar Jackson.    Their D was putrid as well.  They rebounded  after Wilks was gone.

That’s what I’m saying you can draft one and win, no one knows if he’ll be good or not I believe CJ or Bryce in the right situation can win. But I definitely agree we have to find our answer through the draft we need our new franchise qb in a bad way.

Whatever makes you feel better.  Wilks was considered a miserable failure in Arizona.  Rhule actually won more games  his first year than Wilks, included losing tight games to good teams.

You can carry water for the 3 -win Wilks all you want, but he was hated in Arizona, passed on Jackson, and every draft pick was gone in a couple years.

When asked if Wilks could turn the season around, Tepper laughed.

You are what your record says you are, SB winners exempted.

I did.  He wouldn't have done any better the first year with Allen, there is no way he was making it to year three after completely tanking year 1.  They sucked in all  phases of the game when they were 8-8 the year before.  Any excuses about lost talent would apply to Rhule as well who won 5 games year 1 and was competitive against good teams.

He passed on Lamar Jackson for Rosen.  He can bitch how they wouldn't trade up, but Jackson was still on the board when his turn came around.

Plenty of teams have shown you don't need a top 3 pick to get a good QB. Losing out means our roster is much further away than I hoped and definitely much more than just a QB away. If Wilks can actually turn the team around I'll be excited. There's no guarantee that losing out and drafting a QB top 3 doesn't end up just where we are anyway.  We already have two QBs selected at the top of the draft on the roster, lol.

Yup, wish more people understood this. Jags are a great example. Everyone thought they just needed a QB and the rest of the roster was solid. They got Trevor 2 seasons ago and still suck. When you go 1-16 or 2-15 you almost always have a lot more wrong than just needing a QB.

For as much bitching he did about "People wanting Rhule to fail", I don't think anyone put as much effort into that as he is hoping Wilks fails.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
