One thing I notice the loud pro Wilks fans don't want to talk about much if at all is that Bengals loss. For all the positive talk of Wilks if things go bad that's what we can expect.

You're still stewing because I disagreed with your immediate reaction to one of the ten worst passer ratings in league history by blaming the receivers for not being open. Now who's the angry one?

It's the Rhule effect. People are scared to swing for anything else. All that failure proved is you don't pay a college coach with no established history at the NFL level a king's ransom. It shouldn't affect our decision making. This is the path that we should have followed in 2020. I fear if Wilks is hired we will end up right back here within three years.

You wanted Ron to go but you are fully in favor of bringing back a coach who will have to learn the concept of going for it on 4th down and not punting over and over like Rivera did early on? You're entitled to your opinion but this place really is bizarro sometimes.

Apparently page 6 of this thread is like room 237 from The Shining. Good luck posting up in here.

Yep. If I were from St. Louis I would be enjoying every minute of it.

Well Carl now you've got iamhubby1 on your side. You're really winning.

I ignore you and now I get flooded with poo reactions. I have sympathy for you.

Swing on a coach that has worked in the NFL and has been involved in QB development. It's what we should have done all along. From there get yourself a stout defensive coordinator. But build up this offense first and foremost.

Speaking of Baker. Going by the logic of some here in favor of the standard set by Sam Darnold we might as well see if Mayfield wants to come back with a new staff.

Sounds like the guy has plans of his own that don't include coaching. I can't say I blame him. There's plenty of money to be made if he chooses to go the announcer route.

Did you get his jersey?

Says the guy who tells people to kill themselves.

All you want me to say is we just need a game manager but there are other options for that. Who here wouldn't like to draft a Brock Purdy in a late round and have him out there throwing darts. But how likely is that? For years people have been talking about Sam's arm talent but the end our season we lost to Tom Brady who is old enough to be a grandpa and we barely squeaked by Dalton and a Saints team who clearly couldn't be bothered to give a fug about winning.

Well considering some of you think a 2.8 passer rating is a good thing I guess we just need someone who can muster more than that right?

There are different types of QB's this isn't a simple answer. Are you looking for a QB with mobility or are you looking for a pure pocket passer? We actually had an okay backup in Teddy but we way overpaid him and ever since we jettisoned him we have been limited to arguing over the likes of Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. I'm of the opinion that we let the new coach and staff identify their own veteran and rookie they may be targeting in the draft. Clean slate. Like I said in the other thread. Not complicated.

But he isn't. Even the Jets knew this.

If he's cut are you going to be okay this go around? Let's just keep it limited to schoolyard insults and leave life and death out this time. Thanks.

Man I'm just saying but after all your McCaffrey worship this stance on Darnold makes you look awkward AF. You got a type. Hey good for you.

So now suddenly we have standards for the backup position?

Agreed. The sad thing is Sam is a great guy. Got absolutely no beef with him personally other than that foolish podcast he did taking offense at fans criticism. But the folks here who just want to keep living this dream are nuts.

And Sam Darnold lost to Mitch Trubisky what's your point?

We know his floor we know his ceiling no point in tying up 10 million bucks in that. The Jets already learned the lesson people like yourself just want to keep repeating over and over and over and over.

Oh do tell please.

And if this bum is the best we can hope for in a backup just make a run at Andy Dalton or see if Minshew is available.
