Evero owned the 32nd ranked D last year and is sitting in the first to go chair for when this team needs to sacrifice someone.   I'm sure he has input.  I would wager he doesn't have a lot of influence present day. 

He 100% has input.  You think Canales is drawing up this defensive roster?  He mentioned not entirely knowing what a nose tackle does.  Evero's scheme features the safety frequently which is why we targeted several of the top young ones available with Moehrig and being in on Holland.  It's just a version of Fangio's defense (which is probably trending now) with sprinkles Capers in there.  With a young HC with an offensive background, Evero is the defensive mind until he isn't.

I mean, he had input last year.   Input and actual real decision making in direction aren't the same thing.  They fugged him last year.

What are you even arguing here?  We signed Moehrig to a big contract and didn't run it by our defensive coordinator?  I think screwing him last year is the reason we tried to sign Milton and threw money at one of the young safeties (one of the most important positions in his defense) on day 1 of FA.  Canales has been pretty hands off with the defense until he gets more experience.

it's largely just a broad thought.....that runs counter to the it's a totally good move because Evero had to want him argument.    I simply don't think Evero holds lots of power in Carolina is all in terms of what we are doing.   So does he have input? Again, sure.  Just like he did last year.  Input.  Which wasn't much in the big picture.  They screwed him.  Bryce probably saved his job and Everos. 

Morgan tanked the D.  I think Morgan has his vision on rebuilding it.  Evero may or may not be around for it.  I still contend he has largely been setup to be the first fall guy.  So yeah, I think he has input but it's Morgan's D.  That's just how I feel.

Morgan "tanked" the defense because we had to allocate money to the OL to see if our highly invested QB could work out.  Safeties are the bread and butter of Evero's defense and we were linked to two of the premium ones day 1 of FA.  His DT's are known for pass rushing vs run stuffing and we were in on Milton who does just that.  Morgan is the GM so he has final say but I doubt he is picking players that don't fit Evero's scheme.  He would just have Evero replaced for a guy who can run what he wants to run.  Morgan was part of the team who hired Evero as well.

I don't think you can heavily invest in assembling talent for the DC for what was the 32nd ranked D.  Again, not his fault, but football is football.   Football teams all largely behave the same way.  NFL is a blame game of survival.  When we get mad at the Panthers.....they will have to start making changes.  Just the nature of the beast.  He is first on the block of substance to be the sacrificial lamb.  So given that, you can't overly invest and empower Evero.  That's why I think it's more about Morgan than Evero.

Running by a FA signing with the coordinator using him isn't overly investing or empowering lol.  It's just common sense.  I get that if our defense keeps struggling Evero's seat gets very hot, but you don't cut him out.  Hell we still have Capers involved and Evero is his guy.  I get what you are hinting at but it's still Evero's defense until it isn't.

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
