And that wasn’t Wilk’s choice after they missed on Allen? They needed a QB. The next one drafted was Lamar at 32. I don’t really think he gets a pass on that either. 

He's stated he didn't want Rosen. Who else he might have wanted, unknown.

Bottom line for me: I don't know if Steve Wilks will be a great head coach. I'm not set on giving him another year. I'll give that another look when the season is over.

Two things I do know? Steve Keim is a sh-tty GM, and Michael Bidwill is just as sh-tty an owner as his dad was.

And yeah, I think the Cardinals failed to give Wilks a fair shot. Is that because they were racist? I don't know, but as mentioned they're lousy at football.

From what I read it states he “wanted to trade up for Josh Allen, not Rosen.” That doesn’t mean he didn’t want Rosen at all, just that he preferred Allen. He did state the GM drafted Rosen, but that doesn’t mean he was against it. He also benched Rosen for Bradford who looked just as bad in his team’s offense, and benched Bradford for Glennon who also looked bad. He also fired his OC McCoy and the offense still looked bad (with Fitzgerald, Kirk, and David Johnson). When I say bad I mean one of the top 3 worst offenses in the NFL since 1986 bad…

The bad thing is he was just recently the DC for Missouri whose defense looked better this year without him…

Going back to the article, Wilks described himself in the lawsuit as “stuck with an unready rookie quarterback drafted by [Keim] contrary to Mr. Wilks’ suggestion.”

He didn't want Rosen at all. He wanted Allen.

You gotta coach with what you got and he showed very little in Arizona. I believe he should have got at least one more year to show what he could do with Kyler but we will never know. And all he’s shown here is we’re competing with the miserable sides like us but being fingered by the better sides. I honestly don’t think Rhule doesn’t win the games that Wilks has here

Because Allen was “ready?” Most rookies aren’t ready year 1. He had Bradford as the vet backup.

Allen was drafted before him so it doesn’t matter. I’m sure Rhule would have loved Burrow, Hurney wanted Herbert. He claims he wanted to trade up for a project QB like Allen and was mad Rosen wasn’t ready. Allen’s first year was pretty bad and that’s with a great staff and OC. Imagine him in Arizona with McCoy who was fired midseason.

There's a lot a smart man can learn from being in a situation like Wilks was in Arizona. If you wanted an abject lesson in how NOT to run an organization, the Cardinals have produced volumes worth of examples.

Right now, I'm still not completely sold on Wilks staying on as HC here. I do, however, view his experience at Arizona as a plus in growing the man's understanding of the game and team building. He certainly seems like a more experienced and sturdy coach than he was before. Some of the greatest coaches in the game had a lousy first outing as a head coach. Bill Belichick's Browns certainly come to mind.

Still, let's see how this season plays out. And it doesn't have to be just about wins, although that would be nice. I need to keep seeing a team out there that looks like it knows what it is doing and is motivated and aggressive. You know, the exact opposite of the Rhule-led team.

If the GM would have drafted Jimmy Clausen, would you have blemed the coaches for him not becoming a superstar?

Didn't Keim pick most if Wilks staff before he even was hired? The Rosen pick not having any say, like zero input? It's almost like Wilks made a terrible decision to take a job where he would never succeed and not being able to conceptually understand that fact...

Forced Mike McCoy on him per reports.

Wilks eventually fired him but the damage was done.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
