Can Tepper find anyone better than Wilks?

Wilks will be hard to let go if they win the division. 

I'll say this up front: he was not somebody I would have considered when The Process was canned.  But, he got thrown into this mess, and I would give him or any interim HC a pass for their first week.  He's led the same team that The Process was getting 1-4 out of to 4-2 since the Rams game.  And he did this after we traded the guy who was most of our offense.

We can talk about the quality of the opponents in that stretch, but the man has no control over who stands on the opposite sidelines.  You play who the league booked.

Are there better HC candidates out there?  I think so.  Can Tepper find them?  What worries me about that question is what has happened every time Tepper tries to swing for the fences.  Limiting it to just HC hires, he is 0 for 1 but it was a disaster.

I'm not saying they should or should not give Wilks the job, just that he has made a strong case for himself.

His OC, who he didn't hire, not so much.

After watching (and defending) Cam against the crowd who wouldn’t give him his due because he wasn’t the elite passing QB, I think I can apply the same to Wilks. 
 

You might not have liked HOW Cam scored points but he scored as well as anyone. He moved the chains. That’s what his job was. Points. 
 

Wilks isn’t the sexy offensive genius winning games with wild offense, but he’s winning. 
 

I don’t give a poo. Just win baby. Just win. 
 

He’s making it hard to let him leave. That’s a damn good problem to have IMO.

I'm not sure. But we've won 3 out of the last 4 with a roster that rhule couldn't do poo with

Oh he's much better than Rhule.

If he keeps winning, then yes, he's HC next year.  He's got these guys playing hard. 

But I'm not ready to offer him a contract until we see the rest of the season is all.

Cam was elite in his own way and he expecting him to play the game like Brees did just to placate armchair QBs was a disservice to his talent.

Yup. And you saw how some viewed him, by only referencing his passing stats, and not including his rushing when comparing him to other QB’s. 
 

They didn’t get it.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
