This is valid. Evero doesn't seem very creative in terms of utilizing talent. He does a lot more of square pegs in round holes than he does creating ways to get the most out of his talent.

We make mistakes when we allow money and emotions get involved. We need to provide a window for his return--not one surrounded by a mansion. They are paid a lot because of the risks and brevity of their careers. The best GMs know when to part with players, even fan favorites.

Yeah, I'm all for trying to figure out a way for him to contribute on D even situationally. His physical tools are undeniable. I'm generally against carrying core ST guys on the roster unless they're real difference makers on STs and he sure looked like one against the Rams. I mean, we carried Karl Hankton on the roster as a "wide receiver" for nearly a decade and the guy barely ever saw the field on offense in his rostered role. But hey, if you're out there blocking punts and blowing up return men on the regular I can accommodate that on my roster.

Yup When you look at EPA, it really does speak to what we’ve all had to watch. Mad inconsistent and the only consistency has been he’s way low in EPA per drop. It’s technically been trending up, but his career average is -.13 and that’s after this season helped bring it up haha. 24th in EPA/CPOE composite. The eye test and the composite are pretty closely aligned, really need some improvement at a consistent basis. People may be happy how he did in the WC round, but the whole nation saw that 49ers game not long ago (well until they just turned it off haha). Not long ago at all and was of his worst stinkers.

I don't think a 28 year old(which he will be in 2026) safety project is a very wise choice. Also, consider that we had the tremendously more talented and effective version of what you are talking about with Jeremy Chinn and Evero wanted nothing to do with him. Doesn't fit his defense. Simmons is a special teams player at this point in his career. As long as he is very good at that, let it be what it is.

It was 2 years and $6.185 mil. That's around what we should probably be offering.

He sure was. However, my point (and it may not be a sound one because it assumes that nobody else thought of the obvious) is that perhaps, in the Evero system, he could play center field and less as a hybrid SS/LB? I dunno. But yes, worth a roster spot if all he does is special teams.

I hope we don't get too aggressive and start the Matt Rhule "ALMOST THERE" BS. This is a very bad NFL roster with at least three good offseasons before it's a good roster. I really don't want to see more Wharton's or Robert Hunt's. Less of that, please.

He has a ton of talent but he is another long term developmental guy. The idea that he is a first rounder is ludicrous. Now, we have seen crazier QB picks so it COULD happen but the team making that choice should get roasted for the decision.

Theres an additional $25m in rollover cap that we will have, so we actually have $50m currently.

It’s an option when you make a poll to make visible or not

He has every physical attribute you could want but he just has not proven any instincts for being a good defender. I love him as a special teamer and he can bring some depth to a few spots on defense, but I hope they don’t rely on him as any kind of key reserve.

I think a lot of fans are overlooking how completely terrible he was against Miami because Miami dropped all those gift wrapped INTs. He could've very easily gotten picked 4 or 5 times that game leading to an absolute blowout but evidently all the Miami defenders have bricks for hands. The NFL is gonna evaluate that game tape and see interceptions galore. We're not talking about "oh, that could've been picked" balls. We're talking about "how dafuq did that not get picked???" balls.

The swagger tho

Pavia is basically significantly less talented and much smaller Sam Darnold. He has even less QB experience than Darnold had. He is likely a long term developmental prospect and not really someone that could be relied on to be a quality #2 QB. He would be great as a #3 or PS QB to develop.

Worth noting that his Bama o-line were NFL height and he had no issues seeing over/around them.

I suspect it will not go well. They certainly have some talent but still lack a QB and some other pieces. At best, they might rise to fringe playoff competitor. Now, this is also with the prospect of Washington about to be going through a HC change and Philly in turmoil. Could end up backing into a weak division.

I dont think rookies and a few FA's are going to change things much. What we need is development from the guys we have drafted and have been on the team 2+years. But since our 23 and 24 drafts were complete duds I am not sure what to expect

Yeah, notice how his feet are set and he is able to drive the ball downfield. That rarely happens here. Also, you are almost never going to see NFL WR's that open.

If things dont change drastically we are eyeballing 5/6 wins. We caught some breaks this year

Even more bizarre that it was a conference game.

Hubert Davis doing Hubert Davis things last night.

:looks at Panthers keeping Bryce at least two more years: :looks at Giants new hire:

I'm skeptical of it being a talent problem and more of a scheme issue. But we will see next season when more players are added. But with that being said, he has managed to out coach Canales as a whole this season.
