Yeah Rosen was a first round pick his staff couldn't develop or didn't scout very well.  Baker has looked no better with him as he did Rhule.  So what's your point? 

To be fair, it's not like anybody else has gotten anything out of Rosen either. He was just an arrogant prick.

And to his credit, Wilks wanted Allen.

I think my statement stands on its own. He has been given dog poo for QBs. Makes it difficult to judge his actual HC ability. No coach can win, or win enough to make the Huddle happy, without a quality QB. Sam is as close as he's come. 

 

Seems disingenuous to judge him harshly considering what he's been dealt. Give the guy a real shot. Then see if he can get even more out of this team.

 

Edit to add. Also, I am far from the only one that has this belief.

We have played this game with QBs like Darnold.  Oh his OL was bad and he had a bad HC.  Let's give him another chance instead of someone else their first chance.  It doesn't usually end well...  

He had Bradford and Glennon as other options aside from Rosen.  Did they suck too? Sure, but he only won 3 games.  It was the lowest number of wins since 2000 for that franchise.  Even Rhule managed to win 5 games with shitty QBs.

 THE Sam Bradford, and Glennon? You are using them as examples of quality QBs?

 

I guess we are going to disagree with this. Considering there are 5 more games to win. We'll just have to see how this all plays out.

Is Sam Bradford worse than Sam Darnold?  Because Rhule won 5 with Sam Darnold...  Bradford has about a 41.4% win percentage in the NFL.  He isn't good, but he isn't a QB that leads you to the worst record in the league.  I'm using examples of veteran QBs who could have used vs this rookie that struggled so much.  

I just think we can do better than a coach with a current win percentage of 26.1%.  If that's what you want you have your bar set too low...

2017 Cardinals 8-8.  Wilks takes over and they go 3-13.  It's not like he had a terrible roster. Kirk, David Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Budda Baker, Hasson Reddick, Patrick Peterson, Chandler Jones, Antoine Bethea....  That shouldn't be a last place team.

Unless Wilks had a great OC (which he apparently didn't) Allen probably wouldn't have worked out. 

Also I wonder if he pushes for Richardson if he is our coach next year.  He is the most Allen-like of the group.

He had Mike McCoy, then fired him and promoted Byron Leftwich.

Allen took some serious coaching to be where he is today I don’t think Wilks and Leftwich would have got it out of him

The more I think about it, if Wilks rallies the troops the rest of the way(which he sort of has already), maybe we just stick with him on a short term deal.

At least we might be able to restore some credibility to the organization and make it a more attractive option if we have to move on from him.

Plus....I am pretty concerned about Tepper's next hire. I sincerely hope he has some good FOOTBALL knowledgeable people around him for that decision.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
