We were all sick of Rivera being unable to adapt in the modern NFL, why in the world would we stick with a guy in the exact same mold who is just a poor man's version of Rivera. Wilks is an awesome human being, loved having him here pretty much the entire time he was here. Great leader of men and secondary coach. Despite it leading to a HC opportunity I thought he was in over his head in his year as DC here, but he did do well as interim HC. He was just never going to be the long term guy here. His style is just too old school. I prefer that style of football, hard nose defensive oriented game with special teams and time of possession focus and ground and pound on offense. I wish it was still around. But the modern NFL has adapted and coaches need to adapt with it to have success and win. Belichick who despite being a cheater is one of the top 3-5 HCs ever and dude ran the pats into the ground lately because of this same thing -- the game has passed him by. Wilks too. Just because Tepper has made even worse decisions since then does not mean that hiring Wilks permanently would've been a good move. It wouldn't have been. Our ceiling would've been occasional 10-11 win season and playoff berth and getting run off the field by elite teams in the playoffs but with most seasons missing the playoffs. Better than what we've gotten under Tepper sure but still not what we should be striving for.

What you said is true. I heard he had basically no offensive coaches to hire in his contact list. He was going to roll with ben freaking mcado. I can not comment on what carolian hires, but in past years coaches got hired not on themselves but who they bought with. If your goal is becoming a NFL HC, you need to have a list of "friends" committed to moving to a new location.

This man has to be locked up for another 2-3 seasons to groom our current young talent and to groom his successor. People take for granted how fortunate this team right now to have a QB basically rescue this team from the brink of dark despair. 

To be honest he is a good QB but his grooming is very suspect. Granted Bryce Young is the only real QB he has worked with and that didn't turn out well. Bad teacher or is it a bad student.

I’ll take bad student for $1000, please Alex.

but seriously, Bryce is exactly what everyone inwardly knows he is. If he blossoms with another team I’ll gladly eat my words but I don’t think I’ll have to.

Canales is supposed to be the QB whisperer, everyone he's coached except Bryce has stepped their game up. What could Dalton teach BY when Reich had him on the bench from the beginning of last camp? He can't teach him how to step up in the pocket or to throw a better deep ball if he's physically unable too. Let Canales get someone with the traits he's looking for to coach up and let Dalton show the next rookie how a vet NFL QB carries himself, studies, treats his teammates, all that stuff.

In fairness, he has done this with veteran QB's who needed some tweaking. Also with talented guys.

We haven't seen him have success with a rookie before.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
