Canales needs to put on his big boy pants again and probably bench Bryce at some point this season. I gave him credit for that last season and it worked, but he's going to lose the locker room again if he keeps trotting BY9 out there. I don't think anyone in the building or the fans can really take this anymore, it'll cost him his job. I think Canales has a ton of issues that mostly come down to getting this HC role too early in his career. But I want some continuity and I want to see him with a different QB, one that's actually NFL starter level.

you mean stuff like this hinders an offense? https://x.com/TheTacRedneck/status/1972485267727798348

Y'all realize he'd have to sell two sports franchises to leave Charlotte right

Gotta hope the Ravens are dumb enough to let Harbaugh go and we go all in with him

From a fan perspective? Yeah. From the Canales/Morgan perspective? You gotta still be employed by then. I'm not sure Bryce/Dalton/Hooker gets that done. Tepper wants offense. If you bring in a vet who puts up yards and points but buries you with turnovers you've at least demonstrated that you can make your offense work with an NFL caliber QB. This current embarrassment of a poo show probably leads to another full on reset with the talent pool of people willing to come work for Tepper shrinking increasingly smaller. I mean, someone is always going to sign up for that payday but I think we're to the point that our wish lists have to start where everyone else's ends because anyone with other options is choosing the other option. That's why the thought of another reset just isn't very exciting to me. It's the front office/coaching staff equivalent of having to build a roster out of UDFAs and off the couch FAs. It's almost certainly gonna be a disaster.

Obviously too soon to tell on some of DM's draft picks. There's a lot to be excited about IMO with young guys (All draft picks this year outside of Etienne), and last year's is a mixed bag. 1 and 2 look like busts which he needs to own, but Chau, JT if he can stay healthy, and trading for Mike Jack were all good business in last year's draft. Trevin is the wildcard. Been hot garbage, but improvement. Doesn't help when the Huddle identified better players in a lot of the spots, though. Free Agency I think has been decent. I think he's filled what holes he can while not being crazy. I think the defensive players we signed this offseason were again good business, but I'm also worried Evero may ruin them. As for Canales, the locker room at least seems to believe and is still saying the right things. Patience is obviously running thin, and I don't love a lot of Canales, but until there's mutiny I just think he gets another year and likely another QB to prove it. One part of me is on team blow it up again. But another part is stuck on just being patient and letting it play out. Unless we get a Tomlin/Vrabel proven coach, another GM and Coach combo just feels exhausting at this point. A good QB covers a lot of ills, but so does a good coach. Chicken or the egg, and frankly I don't have confidence in Tepper to hire another coach anyway.

Yeah it permeates everything, everyone’s consciousness. Defense too. Maybe ST are somewhat immune but the players on those units participate in the other phases. It is a motivation killer to know that you have probably lost before you ever step in the ring.

They might as well. They spent a lick on them and they're ass so give him a shot in real action. It'll at least get them press coverage for a minute which I honestly think was the primary driver of that pick to begin with.

Nope. Draft a 2026 QB in the top 10.

I would....but it looks like browns gonna turn to him soon anyway like a lot of people expected.

I just don’t see these guys playing for Dave Canales. guys played their hearts out for Steve. They played with heart because they never wanted to feel like they let him down. That he would be disappointed if they half assed it. They had respect for Steve. It wasn’t fear, it was respect. It was palpable. It was undeniably Steve’s team. He was the leadership that they desperately needed. No, Steve was not leading this team to SB, but this team needed, and still needs a Steve. No where does it feel like it is undeniably Canales’ team. Guys don’t play for him. if they had any ounce of respect for him or each other, then yesterday would have never happened. They definitely don’t respect Bryce, but they did respect Sam. QB is a problem, but this goes much deeper. This team needs an alpha man piloting the ship at HC first, alpha QB second. Someone who will tell Tepp to stuff it with his ‘suggestions’ … and therein lies the core issue.

thats why he needs a new change of scenary, the fans have been calling for his head for years Trade 2 first let him pick the gm and establish at least a competent base of winning

I'm pretty sure the media narrative will be the team failed him, which is true. But they will leave out the part where he's not cut out for the nfl.

Go get me Jameis or Howell. Get me a guy who has proven he can put up numbers. Forget the turnovers, we just need to see if Canales can field an offense that can produce given a QB with NFL tools. The Bryce question feels answered. Now we need to answer the Canales question. The reality is that Shedeur has looked like ass except against our camp bodies - the camp bodies of one of if not the worst team in the league. He looked like ass against our primary backups. He didn't do anything until we were playing Amazon warehouse workers.

It’s been the National media narrative since he got in the league. It was even the script from yesterday until it got so bad schlereth couldn’t pretend anymore. little poo has friends in high places. I don’t see a reason that’s going to change once he joins college gameday.

I wouldn’t be against that my worry would be that he has been doing this a long time and there may be some burnout.

I bet I can throw Bryce Young further than Bryce Young can throw a football.

99% of fans? No. Media types with agendas? Absolutely.

There would be no reason for the knives to come out after he's benched. They will be out until he IS benched however. I'm sure there is a lot of ass covering going on right now.

they have scored 30 in their past 3 games, they have an offense

Involving narcissistic Hollywood actors in any real world endeavor is a prescription for dysfunction. They lend their names to things, they don’t really do anything else but talk and pose.

I say give Perkins or hooker a shot. They can't be any worse
