Steve Wilks has proved he has what it takes to be HC

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.

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"

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?

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?

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
