By the way.....49ers fans are calling for Wilks head. His D let the Vikes push them around.
You're right LP... Bur interestingly enough, Brock Purdy is also catching a LOT of flack because of a lack of leadership and a dearth of late-game playmaking against OPFOR that a true NFL QB leader would at least make a passable attempt at subduing. Of course, an alert commenter should note that Purdy was definitely "playing up" from where he was drafted, considering that he was the LAST player selected in the 7th round at #262 in 2022. You can't get any lower than that without being a UDFA.....
My personal opinion is Brock Purdy is another one of those guys who have taken advantage of a scheme and coaching staff headed by Kyle Shanahan. The league is figuring him out and he has a lack of talent and ability to fall back on when the scheme starts to fold under pressure and the coaching staff can't make the pressure plays for him. He's done well under Shanahan and that Offensive juggernaut. Unfortunately, when the league figures it out, the reward for Purdy may be a SHORT career.
And Wilks is probably "OK" as a D-Coordinator, but may lack the "fire" and "drive" to ignite the Defense when playing quality opponents.
