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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
