  1. I agree with you about Evero. Our defense has performed better than I thought they would all things considered. I'm going to make this as clear as possible because while I admit I do partake in the occasional shitposting I do like Bryce Young just fine as a person. He's a good kid and easy to root for. But unfortunately that isn't enough to be a franchise QB. Look at Sam Darnold. One of the nicest guys anyone could meet no one with a bad word to say about him. All the physical tools too. Still not a franchise QB. My question about Bryce has nothing to do with the mental aspects I know people have piled on about the processing thanks to our idiotic decision makers putting an absurd level of hype on the kid in that area that was unrealistic from the jump. But I think that can be worked on and he can certainly clean up the footwork. The question is can he physically win at this level. If you don't want to hear it so be it but that's a question that is going to be asked frequently over the next several months. It's basically a guarantee Bryce will get the opportunity next season to showcase what he's learned and changed with a new offseason under his belt and hopefully an improved staff. But he's still going to be the same QB physically and those limitations aren't going anywhere. All we can do is hope to maximize what he does best. In the meantime down the line I think drafting a QB in 2025 still has to be under heavy consideration. That's for what's best for the team. At the end of the day that's what it's about. What's best for the team.
  2. If Tepper fires Fitterer and actually surrounds himself with football minds to navigate the process of hiring a coach and GM combo in unison and allows them to do their jobs without him or his wife inserting themselves into the middle of the day to day team operations I will feel much better about our future. But I think we'll see pigs fly before that.
  3. I assume he knows full well the odds of interim coaches succeeding in the NFL. He will get a legitimate shot sooner or later.
  4. We tried hiring a college coach and we just fired a retread. Roll the dice on an up and coming NFL coordinator like we should have done all along and be done with it. There will be options regardless of the curret volatility of the franchise. That's the only path forward.
  5. Honestly I will not be surprised at all if he's retained. He's a proper yes man for Tepper and they seem to get along quite well.
  6. If Evero won't even take the interim job after what he's seen I put the odds of Ben Johnson wanting anything to do with this trainwreck and ownership at about 5%. What has transpired here will only further cement his instincts earlier in the year when he declined us.
  7. Evero is going to be a head coach somewhere. As much as I would like to see him in the role I don't blame him one bit for declining. He's seen enough of the Tepper's to know what's up.
  8. Kunkel was actually on the money with this. Credit where it's due.
  9. Scott Fitterer should be led out into the street and tarred and feathered now.
  10. The special teams coach was the only one willing to take on the job
  11. Thank goodness it's finally over. Give Evero the reigns and see if he can do anything with this shitshow.
  12. Icky has been bad but he's shown he can be a starter in this league last year. The question you have to ask yourself is how many players looking subpar in this offense are struggling because of the scheme and the way we've constructed the offense around a short QB that has to hop and skip to make a basic throw and even then still misfires? I still find myself coming back to that game in Seattle. The best the offense has looked all year. That's just pitiful.
  13. Bummer about LaMelo but that's what I've come to expect as a Charlotte sports fan.
  14. Unless Frank Reich is going to rebuild Bryce Young from the ground up like The Six Million Dollar Man no amount of developing is going to change his lack of physical traits that make a franchise QB.
  15. Someone in the building had to have wanted CJ Stroud at least initially. We won't know the truth for a few years probably. But it will come out. On a side note. I am personally done hearing about Tua in reference to Bryce Young's struggles. The Dolphins are winning beating up bad teams. They have a very capable coaching staff. And they've built a fairly stacked roster. We don't and won't have any of those things for some time. I am of the opinion that 2025 will be the year we draft yet another QB. Unless Bryce Young loads up on HGH he is not going to be much if at all different physically next season. Defenses do not respect his arm talent. It isn't there.
  16. Cam was a once in a generation phsyical specimen and established winner when we drafted him. Let's leave him out of this. At the end of the day the QB we picked is performing the worst out of the draft class. Are there moving parts and some coaching contributing? Certainly. But you guys need to stop saying any of the other rookies would be one of the worst QB's in the league with this same situation because no one can know that. And with someone like Stroud AR or Levis defenses would have to account for their physical talent and arm strength any given play. None of these defenses are scared of Bryce Young's arm my guy. That's the truth of the matter.
  17. Good. Unfortunately the person who chose him will be choosing the next coach too. And back to square one lol
  18. Dalton is a mediocre at best backup at this stage in his career. Your #1 overall pick should be at minimum a push by comparison.
  19. Well it was only a matter of time before the offensive players so many here have been calling trash week in and week out vocally express their own frustrations.
  20. We're clearly making an effort to roll him out and give him opportunities. The oline isn't helping our WR core isn't helping. But his arm and footwork just isn't going to cut it if we want this kid to be a franchise QB either. Harsh truths all around.
  21. Man some people here are so dug in defending this mess they're just beyond convincing.
