No he's not, and there are reasons. Hooker wasn't (isn't) an NFL quarterback. He was fun to watch in college, but a pro career ain't happnin'
-
Those are personality differences. Poor depth chart management is an example of a coaching weakness that Rivera and Canales share.
-
Every team has limitations, whether it's blocking, receiving, whatever. That's more true than ever in the age of the salary cap, 32 teams, 17 games and a college system that's moved a long way away from pro-style offenses. It's the coach's job to know those things and adjust accordingly. Canales did a poor job of that today.
-
The notion that replacing Bryce cures all ills is a fallacy. Other problems exist, and need fixing.
-
You shouldn't. Canales brought a lot of Rivera's weaknesses with him
-
Playcalling issues aren't on the quarterback, no matter who he is. Ditto with play design. Those are coaching issues.
-
What is there to discuss on Bryce? He's not the only issue this team has, and others are worth discussing.
-
Out on Bryce, yeah Not out on Canales yet. I have some issues, but theyre at least potentially fixable.
-
Which also calls back to Rivera (as do some of the vet player preferences I feel like we're seeing) I do wanna see Canales with a different QB, different DC and also some different on staff mentors. Still might not work out, but...
-
Make a thread to talk about problems other than Bryce... Responses: We need to talk about Bryce!
-
I'd like to give Canales a chance with a different quarterback. But there are also issues Canales needs to fix which have nothing to do with Bryce.
-
Not really an option unless Canales wants to go down with him. Gotta do the best they can through season's end. (even if I'm not especially optimistic)

Canales Did Not Call a Terrible Game
Mr. Scot replied to Carolina Cajun's topic in Carolina Panthers
Canales tried to run a smashmouth game plan with injured / spent offensive linemen and West Coast Offense skill players. It was a losing approach. -
Spent some time on this in the game thoughts thread
-
I don't object to either of those things by themselves. Not if we come into this game with better preparation and awareness, at least.
-
At what point have I excused Bryce? I chose to discuss problems other than Bryce because Bryce discussion is largely futile. That's not making excuses. It's just walking away from the deceased equus.
-
Today was more about heavy pressure, for which misdirection is one of the best antidotes.
-
What we're best equipped for roster wise (especially with Bryce at QB) is a heavily WCO influenced offensive scheme. What we called today looked more like a smashmouth style game. And when that didn't work, we didn't seem to have any sort of fallback plan.
-
Same, which is why I wasn't in favor of trading Chubba
-
Insert Jim Mora gif here
-
Sounds familiar...
-
No argument on either point...
-
Canales has some of the same weaknesses Rivera did. What he did today was pretty much the same thing Rivera did in the Super Bowl, i.e. failing to anticipate what teams might do against us and laying a backup plan. His depth chart management and playing time decisions are a little off too (again, like Rivera).
-
"Lateral offense" is a pretty common criticism of WCO type schemes. But yeah, the coaches are making some mistakes.
-
Not trying to... Said up front I wanted to focus on problems other than Bryce. And yes, those exist, whether people choose to acknowledge them or not.
