Don't get me wrong, I don't give Wilks much chance of losing the "Interim" label, but he mostly did a good job today. Mostly! He looked like an NFL coach today.

 

Anyway, today should be the model as to why you spread the ball around, and actually let guys play as opposed to letting them waste away on the bench. 

If you open up the playbook, and let guys get an opportunity to execute, good things happen. Relying on one dude for so much of your offense (who is not the QB, of course) is NOT a formula for long term success, especially for a team without a franchise QB. 

These guys are in the NFL,  and when it comes down to it, they should be allowed to contribute, particularly when things are going south and other people aren't getting it done.

Great overall win. Nice game plan. Walker looked like a different guy today.  If we can beat the Bucs, we should be able to beat just about anybody on any given Sunday.

Wilks  learned from last week.  It was a great game!

PJ looked  better than Baker today. Baker's play has been absolute ass.

This was arguably the best that we've seen by a QB since number 1 was hurt.

Agree with everything except your last sentence. The Bucs are terrible.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
