Whats his name?

Okay, well if you didn't see the difference between Darnold out there vs Baker and PJ I don't know what to tell you. Maybe he will start throwing bone headed ints consistently again but as of now that was good QB play. Not elite, not franchise but good.

How the fug do you consider that good?

Bringing in someone else's OC to be head coach and call the plays does not ensure he's a good head coach either. You guys fall for whatever offense is showing off and then say that coordinator is a genius and should be our head coach.  Such a childish way of looking at it. But I don't really care because we have no say in it and Tepper is like a child chasing the latest new fad.

Bringing in an Offensive minded coach does ensure a change and this franchise needs one. We’ve been doing the same poo over and over to still be sitting here with an empty trophy case.

Any new coach brought in will ensure change. It doesn't ensure that it will be for the better.

Not really sure what you want me to say. He managed the game, didn't throw an interception. It is a conservative offense that opens up occasionally and he made it work. Like....what is the bar for good to you? Has to be 300+ and 3 TD?

You have no idea what Wilks will be for this franchise.  

You’re right but I have educated guesses like Wilks is a run first defensive minded coach with what a Head Coaching record of something around 6-16. If his co-ordinators are the people you want to see and you believe they will flip the script on his coaching career we should probably be hiring them.

Funny thing is you have to be able to run the ball and have a good defense to win in the playoffs.

The argument for me now has to come down to specific names. I'm about 90% sold on Wilks and would take him over any of the following options 

-Any college coach

-Any defensive minded coach not named Bill 

-Anyone super unproven (less than 2 years of proven success calling an offence)

That basically leaves Sean Payton (who I despise but do think is a great offensive guru) or someone like him as the only type of coach I would be ok with passing up Wilks for. 

 

If they were to pass on Wilks to hire someone like Dan Quinn that would be idiotic in my opinion.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
