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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
