some rando's opinion... Evero *will be* first to be fired

First job I had in a management role, there was a difficult employee who was a nightmare to manage. After a few one on one conversations I got word he was looking for another job, so I kind of put a pause on our follow-ups. A few days later, he turned in a notice and I let him finish it out. 

On his last day while he was packing his stuff up, my boss asked what he was doing and I told him. He demanded that I go to his office and fire him on the spot. I explained, he was packing up and would be gone soon, he didn't care. He went down there and did it himself right then.

That will be David Tepper with Ejiro Evero.

You fired an employee because they were looking for another job?

To be fair the Lions have a much more talented roster.

But also: Our talent is turning down more money to play for other teams because they don't feel Evero schemes them right. When he pounds the table for players like D.J. Johnson and "his guys" are players like Jewell, won't miss him if he leaves too tough.

No I did not. I'll clarify. 

I was having some performance review conversations with an employee and found out afterwards he was already searching for a job. When he gave me his notice, I backed off and let him finish his notice. I dropped the performance follow-ups because he was leaving anyways and there was no point.

When he was packing his stuff up on his last day, my boss couldn't believe I let him work a notice so he ran down the hall and "terminated" him about 2 hours or less before the day was up.

He got me too not long after that, I complained about him choosing a cheaper material in one of our processes that required twice the amount of labor and pointed out he wasn't actually saving any money by doing it. I got put on an impossible project with ridiculous deadlines not long after that and got the point. 

Luckily, I found a better company after that and then eventually I was my own boss when I started doing my own thing.

said it before the first ball was kicked off...Evero was setup to be the fall guy this year from the jump.  Whatever happened this year, Canales team was going to be setup at a minimum...to at least be able to point at Evero for blame/change. 

Evero wasn't allowed to leave.  They gutted the D roster.  Everyone knew it was going to go backwards by front office design.  

It's a scapegoat business.  Generally there is always someone going into a season where if it goes bad will be the blame guy.   It's why I like clean slates without holdovers.  The holdovers are always the blame guys.  That can be coaching or front office.   It's why Fitterer should of gone w/ Rhule.  Why we shouldn't of hired Morgan.  Always a carry over to lay blame at their feet.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
