I honestly think Darnold can do a lot more but he has to gain the trust to do that. Behind this offensive line he’s not running for his life anymore

Interestingly TD played with a cast, but wrist injuries are more tricky to heal. I am sure he will play if possible and the team can somehow sneak into the playoffs. I just don’t feel good about this secondary holding up

Aghh that’s what I was afraid of

Not his fault, it’s tackle football

Anyone know if he broke his wrist? This secondary blows without him

This is that classic Rivera defense of letting teams make it close

Woods can really lay some wood

Jaycee injury looks bad, broken hand?

Best available QB at 8th whoever that is. We need to keep trying until we hit, no choice

Yep, last time we were this hyped was last year when we were 3-0 was thinking we’re going to the Super Bowl. Then Sam Darnold, and the entire team just fell flat on its face. The only difference is now its Wilksinstead of Rhule, but I still don’t trust that Sam Darnold won’t fold under pressure.

Yet Trey Lance has not performed

What’s with the poo reactions, just saying for a 7th rounder he has done more than most first rounders. He is more reliable, accurate and poised than Darnold or Walker.

Damn, we should’ve included this kid in the CMC trade package. I know it’s a great offense, but I am impressed by his ability to step in and make it look easy.

There is a good vibe about the team right now. They’re playing hard, physical and seem to rally behind Wilks and are winning more despite deficiencies with offensive playcalling and quarterbacks. That’s not something you just take away, you keep Wilks and let him build on it

To bring the energy back to the stadium and keep the ugly yellow towels out of it

Not sure what you’re saying. Typically, defensive guys would have just settled for a field goal and he was actually being aggressive and trusting that the defense would take advantage of the field position. Having been burned by Rhule I am good with giving Wilks, a known commodity, a three year contract provided he brings on better coaching staff to handle the offense while staying true to the team’s identity as a physical team.

Rivera team would have laid an egg after a bye week. Wilks had his team ready to go and win a tough road game against a good team. They’re not the same. He can’t open up the pass game until two things happen: 1. He has an OC who has a better passing scheme while still being a running team 2. he has a QB who can make downfield throws consistently and not turn the ball over

I agree, he is a WR1, was just expressing concern about lack of focus or effort. That said, Darnold was the checkdown king yesterday so maybe that had something to do with it too

This is a nothingburger, terrible tweet and thread

This is what I think happened too

Is at their best again another benefit of not having Rhule micromanaging them instead of worrying about actual football.

I actually think Sam’s throw was fine, DJ was slow coming out of his break

Honestly don’t even care anymore. Let’s just roll with Darnold next year

DJ Moore really struggled with his route running and getting separation today. I know McAdoo’s scheme sucks but he was really off today, not coming out of his breaks very sharply. I hope his mind is in the right place.

Brock Purdy looking like a legitimate NFL QB, wow
