Evero is just okay. Not great, not awful. Basically a JAG DC. Our pass rush sucks and so does our tackling today. I honestly don't think there's much he can do schematically to fix either.

He can stop playing his DBs 10 yards off the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 6.

The last thing we need to be doing is blowing up the defensive side of the ball and starting from scratch there again next year, just when things are being worked out on offense. Evero deserves an off-season where the focus is on that side of the ball, and not shopping in the bargain bin for cast-offs.

I don't agree with the incredibly unrealistic expectations some fans might have. The defense ended up being without more than half of its starters that they were looking at leading into the offseason (Derrick Brown, Shy Tuttle, DJ Wonnum, Shaq Thompson, Josey Jewell, Jordan Fuller, Dane Jackson). To make up for it, Evero is leaning heavily on the bend but don't break philosophy.

That side of the ball could definitely use more talent. The way they've performed with the secondary and pass rush in flux the way it has has been impressive to me. They've been starting games with solid energy but you can tell they're worn down even with the offense starting to hum. Depth is being tested early... but hopefully that means getting all of these guys back from injury will help with the talent level.

Can’t remember the last time Evero dialed up a blitz that had me thinking woah that was awesome. He’s allergic to creative blitzing.  When you lack talent, sometimes you have to orchestrate pressure through creative scheming but he’s not capable of that. 

This I agree with.  An aggressive creative DC can scheme up pressure from time to time the same way a good OC can scheme receivers open.  I think Evero is a pretty decent DC, I just personally prefer a more aggressive style.

He absolutely will not be here next season - by his own choice.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
