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.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
