Had the opportunity to write up my thoughts on Wilks and his candidacy for head coach and thought you all would enjoy.

As usual thank you all for the support and no I don't get paid for clicks

Well said Natalie.  I agree. Also..nice getting your write up in USA today!

Wilks has had command of the team from the start.  He has made the changes that he could and the team is better for those changes. He seems to have a high football IQ.  He is taking what he was handed and transformed the team.  Imagine if he has the chance to make decisions about his staff.  Not just firing the bad eggs but bringing  in some good assistants.  With the direction Wilks has this team going this should be an attractive job for a good OC candidate.

At some point it has to happen. 

When the opportunity rises. No need to be aggressive for the sake of it.

And then they fired him.

The Cardinals has been a steaming pile of dysfunction for a long time.

I have no idea why JJ Watt decided to play out his last years there.

Imagine playing aggressive ball with Darnold and PJ. Recipe for disaster.

How are we gonna upgrade them falling into the playoffs?

I love the idea of becoming an elite offense. It's not happening this season. 

The NFC playoff teams are likely to be Philly, Minnesota, San Francisco, Dallas, Washington, and New York plus either us or Tampa.

There isn't a Bengals level offense in that group. Maybe Philly. Maybe Dallas, but that's probably a stretch. That's all I was pointing out.

I’m talking about the future and I don’t see it by keeping Wilks as HC going forward

I guess we have another decade of "play not to lose" Foxball incoming. Beat the bad teams, get smoked by the good ones. Winning season every other year, playoff push every 5 if we happen to draft well.

It's sad that the Rhule experiment has us so traumatized that we're ecstatic to have another "Mister .500"

We’re not exactly falling into the playoffs.

How you figure?

There is always a bump when the head coach is fired and the interim steps in (the media idiots cry about how so and so deserves the job). Only a fool buys on the bump so Tepper will probably retain Wilks who will look for an OC, get not takers, and retain McAdoo.  If we have to hire a defensive guy why not the DC at the niners? Would rather have an offensive guy that can help pick and develop a qb.

If we win 5 of our last 6 games, how’s that falling?

We’ve won two in a row and playing well.

Denver = sucks but we scored on a good D; lol at their offense. 

Seattle = doesn't suck but not world beaters and down 1st and 2nd rbs

Pitt = sucks

Detroit = losing record not indicative of decent team (tickets to be had for $25)

Tamp = sucks

New Orleans = sucks. (tickets to be had for $16).

So we win 5 out of 6 with no wins vs. a decent team.

gotta beat the teams on your schedule. 

if beating those teams make the panthers suck, what does losing to them do?
