Pike’s role shrinks, not optimism

I would hate to lose him if he is cut

There’s no guarantee he’ll even play Saturday night against the New York Jets, after getting one series and a quick hook in the opener against Baltimore. Even his practice repetitions are extremely limited, but Pike was upbeat about the few chances he does have.

Wrote about Pike in this morning's paper(s). There was a time when they were thinking about keeping 4 QBs. That time has passed.

That would be retarded. The guy has huge potential and I imagine some sort of value. We have a need at WR... I prefer to keep him as the 3rd and let Cantwell go or try to put him back on the PS. Pike will not make it to the PS, if we're gonna let him go we need to get something back for him.

Here's an idea though... Could we have been giving Cantwell the bulk of the garbage time last week b/c they're deciding whether they should cut him instead of Pike? Kind of like, 'is he really what we think he is?' If not, let him go.

Cantwell's upside is greater than Pikes. Pike has a little girl arm.

I thought that was a BS move, and Pike should have gotten more PT time against the Ravens. He throw a nice ball, and the WR flat out dropped it. After 1 series, Hunter Cant-do-well comes back in. Give Pike a freakin chance, he's pretty darn accurate.

Everyone is going to be shocked when we sneak him on the PS. We are limiting him for that very reason. No team in there right mind would grab him if there is no tape on him and the only time he played he got yanked.

Its possible we could.But do you think he we be there all year without some team signing him??

A team would grap him based on the potential he has down the road.he has to better than Jordan Palmer with the bengals.lol

worst pick ever good job hurney this was f**king genius.

Surefire Gems or super steal:

Kalil, Beason, Stewart, Williams, Hardy, Otah, Gamble, Peppers, Witherspoon (letting him go was indeed stupid), Gross , Wharton, Geoff Hangartner, Jeff King, Bernadeau(7th rounder starting), & Clausen (super super bargin price and steal)

3rd round or higher surefire bust (cause anything lower than 3 is unhopeful anyways):

Shelton, Keary Colbert, & Evan Mathis

Now go eat a **** sandwich or something.

you can spew all of your stats you want but you can't deny tony pike was a waste of a draft pick. i have thought about the pick for a while now and I still have zero grasp on why he chose him, it makes no sense.

    • I generally don't think he is likely to be a "great" DC, but he could be in the above average to below average band.  I don't care if we jettison him that much but have a plan to improve if that is what you want to do. A better candidate(for sure) and a better roster. If both of those aren't on the table, what is the point?
    • My thing is people were viewing him as the only bright spot from the 23-24 season. Coming into the season he was viewed as a legit DC with upside to possibly get a HC job.   Now we flipped on him after 1 season in which he literally had nothing to work with. All this change is cool, but I would prefer we try to create some stability with the coaching staff. Get some talent on defense and let's see what Evero can do in year 3. If he doesn't improve with better talent then we can move on. I would hate to lose him and he go balls out with a better defensive roster with another team.
    • Actually, I hold the whole defense against Evero. It was terrible last year and it's even worse this year. Injuries aside, the players look ill-prepared to play, they are timid in tackling and we seem to be very passive in our defensive play calling.  I think Evero will be among the coaches called for head coaching interviews and we may get very lucky and he gets a head coaching job somewhere out there. If not, we desperately need to move on. And he isn't one of Canales' guys, but he was given that extra year here at Tepper's request. I think that boon has worn thin. Any words as to keeping the guy right now are just stagecraft and positioning.
