It's possible he "believes" more in Robert Saleh.

At the least, it's a name that must be in his head as a contingency. We're all talking about the possibility of Evero getting fired but he didn't exactly want to stay with us in the first place. That may still be the case now, especially since we kinda ruined his reputation by doing so.

The scheme is inconsistent and ineffective. It doesn't matter who is out there. We sucked when we started the year and haven't improved much in points surrendered which is the only defensive Stat that matters. We give up more points in the last 2 minutes of either half than anyone else. That has to be scheme. I want an aggressive attacking defense whether it be 3-4 or 4-3 or some hybrid. Evero's weak zone bend until you break drives me crazy. I for one won't miss him if he goes.

Josey Jewell is Evero's chosen leader. He's never led a defense to a winning season.

I keep hearing Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn are good while they've failed to lead a defense to a winning season or a division championship. Fuller and Robinson won a SB. Shaq went to a SB. Clowney went to a conference championship last season. Jackson has helped a defense to the playoffs and this is is his first season starting on a losing team. Woods has won in the playoffs and had multiple winning seasons. Tuttle has been to the playoffs and started on a winning defense. DJ Wonnum has been to the playoffs.

So, the unproven ones on defense are Evero, Jewell, Brown and Horn. All the others have been at least playoff caliber under other DCs. Why is keeping the consistent losers the answer to improving the defense?

This excuse that Evero has defensive starters who drag down a DC is ridiculous. They are proven playoff level talent that can win in the league.

Evero and Jewell need to go. They will never have success in the NFL. Brown and Horn are talent a good DC can use, but they will never be defensive leaders.

Well I agree Evaro needs to go you do know single players on defense don't lead teams to championships.

I mean, yeah, but they knew they were making sacrifices in regards to the defense. With the injury to Brown and to a lesser extent Shaq, we were cooked. Sure, the FO is accountable for trying to ensure (and insure) that the (im)perfect storm doesn't happen, but making lemonade out of lemons is really not realistic in the NFL. Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer (under pressure from David Tepper) left the roster in shambles from too many angles. Dan Morgan and company concentrated on offense last off-season with a so-so result, but still to the detriment of the defense, including a wing and a prayer at EDGE.

All that being said, I dislike the scheme, especially when you're trying to rebuild (and, yes, we were/are rebuilding regardless of what they say), but, then again, I guess that ripping the band-aid off is a rational approach during a transition. Still, I prefer a 4-3 base (admittedly, maybe because it's what I'm used to). I am highly skeptical of Evero's scheme because to me it makes it easier for the RB to gain a head of scheme, and if you don't have the speedy physical backers and safeties you're cooked. I'd much prefer that Evero goes, but if he stays he'll have a fairer shot to make a believer out of all us non-believers.

You can't completely blame one offseason for all our defensive or overall roster ills. That took multiple people multiple years to achieve. If we didn't know any better, one would assume Tepper was a Saints or Bucs or Falcons superfan with how efficiently he has brought people in to tear down this franchise.

Both players are arguably top 5 in the NFL at their respective positions and have stated multiple times how they wanna be here and how they want this team to win. That sounds like a leader to me.

I am not sure what list you are using but I don't believe very many would consider either of those guys top 5 at their position. They certainly have that potential but neither has been able to maintain that level of play for any real length of time.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
