Evero isn't doing a good job. There are plenty of other problems but he looks like he is one of them. The whole 'there is so much bad I can't tell if it's him' or 'it's not fair to judge him with the talent levels' reminds me of the same take Young got last year when people were saying he couldn't be evaluated or criticized. Plus he is in his second year which just makes it worse. Only Luvu is playing well elsewhere and the guys he chose look like mostly duds.
-
Better but I doubt he will be a HofFer. As long as the QB doesn't drop back out of protection or hold the ball forever he should fine. Probably make a good LG but they already committed that space and cap.
-
Hahahaha. It’s the Jets. The closest team to the Pantherd at the bottom. Putting a DC in charge when they have offensive issues is on point. It's Hackett sonI don't know who has bee3n happy with him for years except Rodgers
-
Finish playing Rodgers into retirement and go get your guy year 2. Someone always takes those jobs, we got one this year. I agree about BB. No idea if he can mesh with that owner tho
-
Yeah it's a deffensive guy as HC that should just be a DC. He already built the D and the Roger's move was desperate and already failed last year. Go ahead and bring in an offensive guy who gets 1 year with Rodgers to build it up now vs waiting till the end of the year.
-
I'm not sure why they even brought him back for this year. I just assumed the media was the only people slurping up the Jets hype.
-
More reasons to run it first. Hubbard has done really well. I'm not sure it would be close to 19th without him gashing it when given an opportunity.
-
Just run the damn ball. It's not exciting but it's been effective. Keep Dalton to under 30 passes a game and run the ball. DC keeps trying to be a pass first team and it's not going to work this year. Adapt or look like fools.
-
His tendency to body catch makes him a project alone. I'm not grading everyone else on the first 2 games, that was about Bryce and this teams past mistakes. He was always a project compared to the other guys they could have drafted who were much more NFL ready. What was the stat, good WRs produce immediately now and don't really have a slump? He looks closer to Mingo and TMJ then the guys doing well now in his draft class. He is a project and always was. Hopefully he can become an Evens but he looks more like our regular 2nd round WRs and that's not good. And the GM was part of the failed staff last year so no passes on that either. If Dan would have come out and drafted like Fritters wasn't still here anymore then I would give him one but it's way too similar for me. DC wants to pass when he needs to run so it's not like he isn't comparable to the past failures either. His expensive oline is falling apart also. He has all year to prove himself but nothing but benching Bryce looks good yet. It's early but there are plenty of earned criticisms.

Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 5 loss to Bears

I would rather get middle of the pack OGs in free agency and trade for TEs that are underutilized in their current offense. Paying top money to free agents is a bad strategy IMO. -

I'm done expecting projects to be fine. When they are I will celebrate but we have seen a few not make it here. Like I said, I'm happy he is getting the reps he is getting. -
Needing talent and not drafting for guys who are not projects is an issue. It's been an issue and remains an issue. Wallace looked promising yesterday in a big role but the rest is not what the team desperately needed so far. Johnson and Jackson were positives for sure. Splurging on OGs with Corbett at C with a now also injured URFA and BC behind him are a negatives IMO. Now I think damn near the entire oline is injured in some way? Sanders stinks and he was one of his guys last year. The XL trade was a negative and there were just flat out better guys available. Robinson was also just the lowest graded guy on D, with Sly playing well inside. The only hope lies in the guys who started the year injured that are coming back. I get it was a huge task to turn around what's been going on here and what he was handed before last year when he was AGM but it's not all rosy. I wasn't a fan of his promotion but I hoped he would prove me wrong. There are plenty of red flags even if he has had some green ones too.

Sanders is another project and unfortunately most don't work out. I like him and hope he makes it but he needs lots of work. I'm not mad at him just was hoping for a better learning curve with the reps he has had. I would settle for a guy who could unseat Thomas but it keeps not happening. -
Yeah I don't know either. It's so bad at so many other places but I assumed he was on man when healthy, especially with the poo show everywhere else. He keeps looking like he was expecting help over the top on a bunch of his bad plays. Yesterday was just worse with a rookie getting the green dot and guys dropping along the way. We're fugged either way so even if they blow it like every other time they should still try to do it the right way. He is on year 3 so next year is the time they should trade him by if they are not 100% on a second contract. I'm not sold on his health but he has only gone more than 5 games once in his career healthy which was 8 I believe. Keep him until the end of the year and see where it goes unless they get a Burns type offer is my take.

I like seeing Croker and Wallace up there and then it all goes down hill. Damn Corbett had his come back to earth game and then got IRed. Tremble should be out a while and Sanders needs to play better than Ian freaking Thomas. So Tuttle had a good game and Robinson was the worst graded player on D? I didn't even know Cherelus was on the roster lol. -
It's Fritterer 2.0 basically
-
And he isn't getting help anywhere but Jackson. Still he has looked off this year.
-
I get that but his play has been off since game 1.
-
He also looks like he needs safety help...which isn't coming apparently. I don't know what's changed but he doesn't look the same.
-
I'm starting to hope he is the scapegoat this year. He isn't a good GM. It's looking like more of the same. It's like 1 good thing per 2 or 3 bad things.
-
I disagree. It doesn't matter because Tepper is all in on terrible or underqualified people. He is a magnet for failures.
-
Not surprising. They should have never leaned on him anyways. Morgan was here last year and should have known that.
-
I agree but Rhule and Fritterer were what happens when the people retooling are terrible at talent evaluation and team building, neither should have been hired. It's still a 2 year fix in the modern NFL if you have good people...which I don't think we have yet. That's the pivot point, good people doing the work. That's also been the problem here. The roster quality is just the effect of terrible hiring. Change that and it would turn around in a small window.
-
It's how they got to where they are at. And it's the biggest reason they will stay there until something changes on that front in a big way.
-
It's dramatic because the NFL is built to allow that comeback. It's not the 70's pre free agency. We just haven't had the people to be able to do much good. That is much worse than the roster level IMO because it's how we got here and why we will stay here if it doesn't change. Tampa was last in the division in 2018 and won a SB in 2021. They were second by a game in 2020 and that weird season. That's not even looking outside of the NFCS. In 2 years a team can dramatically turn it around if they do good things and not the crap this team has been doing for years.
