Donald LaFell

Never felt drawn to Pinero. Didn’t have many impressive kicks to make up for some of his XP doinks or misses

My biggest knock on Evero so far is that blown 3rd rounder on DJ Johnson(but I guess that’s better than a 2nd on an injured RB)

The team is still so bad they just need to keep hitting on the draft while they recover from the Bryce trade and all the coaching failures. As long as we hit it will be ok. The front 7 needs bodies period.

When I do the mock draft simulators I end up picking Collins every time. Seems like a non nonsense run defender. I like Nic Scourton for the same reason in the 1st if we lose out on the top 3 defenders or trade down a little.

I’m not sure if he’s a franchise QB but he’s not the worst part of the team anymore. I can see him taking the team to the playoffs but never getting over the hump and getting replaced eventually. That’s still a huge turnaround from being Jimmy Clausen 2.0.

Happy to keep him at the right price, happy for him to make as much money as possible somewhere else too.

As long has he wasn’t skinning them alive I wouldn’t take any offense to it. I like that there’s a super country fried player on the team with Carolina ties. If he gets a little better and isn’t over paid I think he’ll be a fan favorite.

I like him but I’m too worried to take the plunge. A bigger guy like him getting dinged up all the time isn’t encouraging.

All QBs need a good line but I think this is especially true for Young. I think it will be important to “keep the strength strong”, but I’d rather do that in the draft.

Looks better than Dwayne Jarrett did heheh

It’s natural to want him gone and maybe there are DCs out there that could do better with this personnel but I would prefer the consistency. A new DC will also have a terrible D and we’d be waiting until 2026 to let the players learn his scheme and for him to bring his own guys. I’d rather give Evero one more year. If they don’t hit on the draft it will be another long year.

It’s clearly not all Everos fault but new blood might be what’s best. I’m fine with whatever they do. I’d rather they keep him for consistency and lots of help on that side of the ball,

Not even close, but when your defense is this bad he’s no longer the biggest problem. I don’t really trust him to come through in big moments. I feel like he could crumble under pressure once everyone is 0-0 next season. I’m not really sure he can take over a game, and I think it takes less to make him look mortal than other physically gifted QBs.

I think this is an issue of talents vs coaching but I’m not sure Evero can survive the off season(if he even wants to be here)

For real

I would not be sold on any DE high up in the draft that isn’t a physical freak that can play the run as well as rush the passer. Considering how little talent there is on the D line I really hope they draft safer picks.

I don’t see the point of crapping on him this soon. The team will be in a chicken/egg cycle of suck for another year at least. Still seems like a talent issue.

That clip of the butterfly chasing the golfball and the announcer getting so pumped is my favorite

I think this is the best explanation. If he isn’t playing like absolute doodoo the team still needs to get better anyway. Might as well roll with Bryce Young until the rest of the team gets better.

He went insane on that recovery, NFL is probably going to drug test him after that.

Can’t disagree there, it is surprising to me as a casual fan how the pass rush feels like the Fox/Rivera years when the D-line was lacking. Their game plan didn’t change and you just watched the QB have all day against 4.

Without investing in the defensive line the results are going to be the same every week. I don’t think you can coach around that. I don’t blame that on Evero. I won’t be surprised if he leaves or he’s fired as a scapegoat but I can’t really judge the defense or coaching when the front 7 is this weak.

I’m happy that he is no longer is playing historically bad. I’m also happy that the team is looking better. He’s thrown a good number of perfect balls that guys have dropped. I don’t think Bryce is the answer at QB. I think his ceiling is under an acceptable level of play for a franchise QB. I’m happy to be wrong as long as it benefits the team. I’d much rather trade him than pay a starting QB salary to him.

I don’t know of any coach that would look great with this front 7. Until you bring in talent they will continue to be a non issue.

I’m not sold on Bryce but this bad game was much better than his first two games this season or last year. He has shown growth. Hopefully he can finish out strong. I wanted off the Bryce train but he’s been playing well enough that I think he’ll be here next year. Is what it is.
