  1. Can’t throw picks if you just place it nicely on the ground
  2. The other thing about Canales is he wasn’t a qualified hire when we hired him. No other team in the league even interviewed him. Just two years prior he’d been demoted in Seattle. I find the mitigating circumstances unconvincing when his performance has been exactly what you’d expect from an unqualified head coach way in over his head. At the least you can’t say he’s shown the ability to overcome anything.
  3. Like this guy is arguing in favor of Canales sticking around and picking a defensive coordinator by comparing him to a better coach who probably should not have been allowed to pick his offensive coordinator.
  4. Canales came out and said that shortly after drafting him iirc we don’t. Two people can suck. But man fuging legette doesn’t even know how to play football and doesn’t seem to want to learn.
  5. Biggest standout loser is the guy he traded up for last season. Being head coach isn’t justification to have more authority when he’s struggled at everything else he’s attempted.
  6. No you made it about two years. and you’re still fuging wrong.
  7. if only there was a way for him to just destress at the end of a long late night film review
  8. If you're arguing for him to pick a defensive coordinator it's completely reasonable to ask where that coach might come from, especially since he doesn't even have roster control over half his team right now, and he would have known that when he agreed to the job. So either he was told "you don't get to pick the DC" and was fine with that, or he asked to keep Evero after that hideous year in 2023. In the NFL you build personal relationships and that's who you end up hiring. Dave has spent most of his career as a low level offensive staff member on two teams with older coaches who ran the whole defense on their own. Plus, no one in their right mind is going to take this coordinator job after Tepper refused to let Evero leave. But let me ask this a different way; what has DC done that makes you think he should be allowed to pick a defensive coordinator As far as his own operation, this is what he signed up for. I'm not very excited for the guy who agreed to only run half a team suddenly getting to run the rest of it, especially since he's spent most of his tenure fielding one of the worst units in the NFL
  9. Panthers offensive line is probably better today that it was in 2011, unless you’ve got some wrong opinions about Byron bell you want to share. Thomas Davis played two games that year. Jon Beason played 1. Not much difference between the running backs if we’re being honest, probably a little better in 2011. You didn’t even name a defensive lineman, probably because Fua and McClain didn’t stand the test of time. Charles Johnson is who you could have named. Doesn’t matter because brown is the best player between both units. Less said about Greg hardy the better the biggest differences were cam, smith, and Olsen. And even with smith being the best WR, that 2011 team was also trotting out legadu nanee you called the 2011 team “infinitely” more talented and included two players that suited up in three games between them. Not sure you know what you’re talking about. and yeah, six wins (in a 17 game season no less) is probably a great height for DC.
  10. None of it is explicitly stated but there are multiple moments during his story where I was like “excuse me what?” and then at one point Izzy recalls yelling in a fight and making some comment about how much Dave loves cigars with the guys but like it’s said in a way that would stop a dinner party like…..it’s cringey
  11. I wrote a large thread about this when Canales was hired that was immediately locked.
  12. He only wrote like 20% of it, and “writing” is a stretch. Almost all of it is Izzy’s and it reads like a screenplay treatment. Or like she’s describing what she imagined the story would like as a movie. Neither of them is writing great gatsby any time soon. The book was published by some scammy self financed author company so he had to put up the money himself for her to publish it. You get the sense this was a “sorry i cheated on you” gift. Izzy wants to become an evangelical motivational speaker and needs a book to be able to sell after her speeches. The big takeaways were… 1. There’s powerful “yeah I DID do this and only this and I am so sorry for doing this, the only thing I did” energy in the story. It’s clearly not all he did. 2. Izzy baby girl what is you doing 3. Dave is a colossal asshole (spending money at strip clubs while his wife can’t afford groceries) and in all of the parts he “wrote” he comes across as weird and full of himself. 4. something very clearly happened between Dave and someone on the staff from Seattle and it’s probably Brad Idzik. It is alluded to several times because the book wasn’t edited so there’s lots of different fragments of the same story.
  13. These are heights Canales has not and won’t reach. infinitely more talented, eh? who are the equivalent players to Brown and Horn on the defensive side of the ball in 2010
  14. Damn pregame production teams have got their marching orders on Bryce.
  15. I like to reverse the comparisons. could Bryce young survive in the mid 80s nfl? not career wise, like physically.
  16. Oh not at all. But that was definitely how he was presented and how he (at least partly) sold himself. you don’t just get to “hand it to the haters” and get to spend another first rounder.
  17. DC was hired to fix Bryce young. He has failed at that. he has shown nothing that indicates he should be able to draft a qb or hire his own DC. Who would he even hire? Who do you think Canales can call up and convince to take this job? What personal relationship can he leverage? Is there another evangelical masturbation enthusiast he can holler at
  18. Rams, chiefs, eagles, bengals, falcons and Dolphins all have qbs eating up a huge amount of the cap. The saints cap situation shouldn’t be compared to anything and requires like differential equations to figure out. it’s dishonest at best to compare them head to head. The panthers currently have what is supposed to be the best advantage in the NFL: a high first round qb on their rookie contract. The panthers have thrown huge money at two guards, reupped moton, have (somehow) spent real actual money on the center position, and were even gonna pay Thielen before his wife put her foot down. To put this another way, what is the defensive equivalent of signing hunt and Lewis? What is the offensive equivalent to letting Shaq, Jackson, Chinn, Luvu walk?
