Wilks Credit?

Guys talking about bringing him back as DC next year?  Ain’t gonna happen. At this point NOT bringing him back is going to cripple the locker room. 
 

I get the guys saying wait it out because if we go 1-3 or miss playoffs maybe Tepper let’s him go. But the odds are in Wilks favor right now and I am rooting for him!

Rookie TEs, and most rookie WRs don’t make major impacts. Jefferson and Chase are not the norm. And there are no Jefferson or Chase type prospects in this draft. We need to draft a QB. For folks who enjoyed the style of game we played today you could have put Anthony Richardson in there and expanded the run-game even more. If we can get a stud offensive coordinator, cool. But then that guy will be gone in a couple years if we are good. It’s why most folks want an offensive mind. 

Rookie WRs are making impacts all over the league. Wilson, Olave, London, St. Brown, Smith and others are showing rookies can get it done. Jefferson and Chase are elite level WRs, but to pretend these other guys have no impact is foolish.

There's no way he comes back as DC.

If he loses a couple more games and we miss the playoffs, I do think Tepper should and will move on.  If we barely lose the division in the end because of 1 game, it'll be a harder decision, especially given some early circumstances (like the bullshit penalty vs Moore etc etc).

Did I seriously see people proposing keeping him as DC under a new HC? There's absolutely no way that happens and it is an inconceivably bad idea. With the way that the team is fighting for him, you either keep him or you let him go and bring in a whole new staff. Hiring a new HC over top of him while attempting to keep him on is just asking for a disaster of a locker room.

I should have said major impact. Again, look at your list above, and two of those guys are making major impacts to teams in the playoff hunt. The others, middling stats on middling or lesser teams. We need a guy to come in here and be the #1. Not the #2. 

And to believe that rookie TEs are making major impacts at the moment isn’t accurate. Pitts was the second one ever to make it to 1k yards as a rookie. The others? Are just bit players in year 1. I would expect, depending on who snags TEs in round 1, those guys to be similar to most previous TEs and not Pitts.

I want an OC minded HC but playing devils advocate Wilks could go the McDermott route like the Bills. And to his credit he wanted the cardinals to draft Allen. He understands you need a QB to win it all in this league.
 

People are complaining about him being conservative but he literally has to with the personnel we have. Maybe he still would be even with a star qb idk. We were all screaming at Rhule to run the fug out of the ball because HE built the team this way. Wilks is actually playing to the teams strengths however limited the team is.

This could very well end up being a similar situation to the Raiders with Bisaccia. You think the Raiders aren't wishing they kept him instead of McDaniels? Unless we can either get the Eagles or Lions OC, then just keep Wilks.

I just don't see Wilks as a superbowl HC unfortunately. Just the same mold as Rivera/Fox ball.

Both Rivera and Fox put us in the Super Bowl, I’ll take it.

    • 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.
