I'm perplexed by the whole situation with Evero.

Dude came in here touted as the next big thing, future head coach, etc.

And in 2023, I think Evero was decent all things considered. He still had a lot of old "4-3 parts". I think he also got a lot of credit in 2023 from Tepper for at least holding his side of the ball together while the offense was a cluster fug mostly from beginning to end.

I'm surprised all that goodwill didnt get thrown out the window last year, though. It's true we didn't invest that much in the defense coming into the season and we had some devastating injuries, but he could never adjust the defense to even give us a chance.

A lot of other teams also had a lot of defensive injuries. We were the only one to be historically bad. It's just shocking Tepper didnt force Morgan to fire him after that bad of a performance, regardless of context. 

It's not like he hasn't been willing to burn bridges with franchise greats. 

Look at Cam Newton, the franchise's greatest QB. Still hasn't completely mended that fence.

Look at Frank Reich, the franchise's first QB. He went from having one of the greatest fan fares at his introduction to being unceremoniously fired after only 11 games.

Tepper has been heartless. 

It's why this with Evero remains a mystery.

Evero supposed to be the next big thing. Rhule was supposed to be the next big thing. Bryce was supposed to be the next big thing. I think the thing is that David Tepper just keeps falling for hype trains. This guy is going to try to trade EVERYTHING for Arch Manning. LOL

I think the Mannings would basically maneuver away from us in some way, shape or form.

If this defense is not playing well early, Evero is gone.  He has had an "excuse" that could be valid--last season, losing brown to injury after losing Burns and Luvu etc.  That is not to say that gives you a golden ticket to suck, however.  A good coordinator would have made adjustments, etc--and i don't recall him doing that very much.  Maybe my memory fails me. If the defense struggles out the gate, he, like Bryce last year, could be the first casualty.  Hell, don't we have Capers on the staff?  This ain't hard.

My prediction is that he gets canned and Capers is the interim sometime in the second half of the season.

Could have had Payton Wilson who is actually doing well in Pittsburgh but Concussion Dan had a brain fart and went DJ. Who everyone on this board said was crap.  When the huddle was right and Dan was wrong. Again. 

They picked wallace over Wilson

 

They used the cmac trade capital to move up for a "developmental" 25 year old

My brother in Christ you might want to go check Wikipedia on those two players.

We had absolutely no talent on D last year.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
