Again. He didn’t drafted and staff this team

he was quoted as telling snow his dline was too light for sustained success in the Nfl 

he was right 

He had his DC and wouldn’t even adjust a safety over the top of Evans pretty poor showing IMO

Did anyone here hear (or see) what he said in his Postgame presser?

If you did, then those who call him a "scapegoat" shouldn't be calling him that since he scapegoated Sam. 

It is pathetic, really. 

As a head coach, you should always point the finger to yourself and he didn't.

Coaches who throw their own QBs under the bus aren't Coaches who get hired to be Head Coaches.

What if it’s Wilks with his own staff and a different QB? 

That's not what he said. He said Wilks with Darnold back as the starter.

I'm not completely opposed with entertaining Wilks staying. But Darnold is not a long-term option at starting QB. If he's signed to backup money and is keeping the seat warm for a developing rookie, fine. But committing to Darnold long-term as the starter and I'm out. That'd be it.

You'll probably spend the majority of your time over at the Canes board, I assume.  😉

Oh I know. I was just curious if it was more Wilks or Darnold that would piss you off the most about that move. 
Wilks with Ben Johnson or Pep Hamilton plus an experienced, successful DC would be interesting.

I don’t think Wilks would roll with Darnold as the answer. He was pretty adamant about wanting to trade up and draft his QB when he was at Arizona. Also the look in his face when Darnold threw that pick and fumbled the snap was pretty telling he isn’t sold on him…

How was his look when Darnold threw those 3 Touchdowns?  🤔

I think he had the same expression. 

 

Though throwing the QB under the bus and basically blaming him solely for the loss in his presser isn't a good look but I digress..

Did he blame Darnold in the presser?  I missed that...

Rivera has made a career of it.

I'd be much more ok with Darnold coming back than Wilks.  Much easier to cut bait on a journeyman QB (at this point in his career, that's his destiny) than a new HC.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
