We should’ve just run it back with Wilks, Darnold, and DJ

Question, would we still have traded up for Bryce Young?  If so, nothing changes.

I actually think after what Wilks saw with Rosen in Arizona, he would’ve let Bryce sit a while. I could be wrong, but Wilks had experience with throwing a rookie to the wolves.

The hell with Wilks I'm not even sure if this guy was a upgrade over Rhule.lmao

 

Counting preseason we haven't won a single game since we hired him.

You mean Frank Reich, right? Wilks was a huge upgrade over Rhule.

Yeah, sitting the #1 overall pick would have not gone over well.  While I agree with sitting Young, 99% of the fan base would not.

Good point. If Wilks had the luxury of having a better QB in Arizona, he could very well still be coaching that team.

Sam Howell is looking like a pro bowl level QB and he's a glorified Darnold. 

 

Wilks would have us in a good spot right now. But we're here now. Welcome to obscurity, folks.

Wasn’t Howell available when we selected Corral? If so…big fuggin yikes.

I think that shows that something is wrong with our ability to properly evaluate college talent and/or put them in position to succeed in the NFL.

We moved up in the 3rd to get Corrall. Howell wasn't taken into the 4th round by Washington. The deals for Darnold, CJ Henderson were bad. We draft players who make no impact on the field. We need better performance from the GM. This team is going nowhere with Fitterer in charge.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
