Wilks appears to be a decent chap, who also happens to be a capable motivator of young men.  He is clearly heads and shoulders above Matt Rhule when it comes to coaching in the NFL. 

Having said all that, I'm skeptical of any coach that chooses to punt, rather than to attempt a first down, (twice) when the ball is near midfield with one yard to go.  This is especially true when the game, season and the coach's future job prospects are all on the line.  An ultra conservative approach, especially when Tom Brady is your opponent, isn't a game winning formula (shades of SB Atlanta Falcons).  Being risk adverse in critical moments (that often shift game momentum) simply doesn't bode well for the team's future playoff prospects. 

Bottom line:  Hard pass on any coach that makes Ron Rivera look like a riverboat gambler.

We need a pinned post feature for threads like this. This is the winner.

The players made sure to get Wilks a game ball after today's win. 

The season may have been rocky up to the middle, but Wilks did turn that ship around. Or at least stopped the sinking and got us back on a more positive track than where we were going.

Can't help that Darnold couldn't complete a pass worth anything in the first half today, but we still managed to win in the end.   "FINISH."

I love the argument of saying we don't want another John Fox or Ron Rivera.

The two leaders who got us to the only super bowls in team history.

How's that flashy offense working for the Rams this year?

They’ve been to two super bowls since our last one and won one while we haven’t had back to back winning seasons in almost 30 years. But they didnt have our “grit” and didn’t win a meaningless game today so I guess that’s something to hang your hat on

Yeah but at least he managed to complete *the* pass that mattered to TMJ after using his legs to get a big first down to set that up. 

What was that saying?  "It's not how you start but how you finish"?   

Backup city, there he goes.  (happy trails, Sam)

Both never won back to back seasons and were pretty much carried to success by talent. 
No I don’t want that. I want consistency.

      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.
