I like and respect Wilks the human being but the Tampa game changed my mind 

nothing to lose and everything to gain and he still could t be aggressive on offense with the 4th downs particularly with the poor caliber DBs left standing 

who knows what might have happened but we know what didn’t happen 

Agreed, the fact he punted on those 4th and 1s early in the game with a chance to stomp the life out of the Bucs early said he lacks killer instinct and is no different than Fox or Rivera. If they hired Wilks it’s not a horrendous decision like hiring Rhule was, but they need to find someone who is evolving with the modern NFL and can develop a QB

I think he’s saying if Tepper likes him it’s unquestionably the wrong hire. 

Yeah. So that would mean whoever we hire is the wrong hire. Seems pointless to just bash the choice no matter what because of Tepper hate.

By definition whoever the owner hires, it will be someone who the owner likes. Such a dumb sentiment to say "Tepper like = bad hire derp"

We poo on McDermott when he was our DC (he was lovingly known as “mcderpit”). Yet I’d say he’s got Buffalo rolling and he’s not a 35 year old offensive coordinator and wasn’t when he was hired. 

McDermott had waaaaay more experience under his belt from Philly with Andy Reid iirc and then came here and paid his dues. 

That hire was a great calculated decision. The only equal I'd give to the McDermott hire today would be Scott Turner.

He really deserves a shot yet nobody is talking about him. He's really paid his dues, stayed in the NFL and still has the wealth of his dad and his former friends and colleagues to fall back on.

I'm not into these "hot new" guys. That's what Rhule was and many failures before him.

Johnson was the TE coach first with Detroit and a huge part of why Hockenson took off AND they were able to trade him. He was able to get production out of their other 3 TE's on the roster. Remember the 3 TD's Zylstra scored for them against us?

 

Makes me think we draft Mayer maybe and he tries to develop Corral / Darnold.

Johnson being able to scheme up 3 TDs for Shane Zylstra makes me think he can coach up Tremble and Thomas rather than use a top 10 pick on a TE.

 

edit: Altho I'd love to sign Evan Engram or Mike Gesicki in FA...Engram especially

Sounds like he'd be an excellent OC. Don't have any idea what kind of HC he'd be.

Tepper as a better wouldn't be the bet to follow he's been atrocious.

So you prefer the owner not to like the guy he hires?

I’d prefer this particular owner stay out of this search as much as possible and let professionals do their work if finding the right guy. He has no clue what he’s doing. I’m going to laugh loudly when this next hire flops like the last one. Tepper is a meddling owner that has no idea what it takes to build a winner at this level.  10 years from now everyone will realize he’s no better than Snyder at building a winning franchise.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
