We are a team picking very high for years and still don't have much top teir tallent while playing other bad teams given how they make the schedule. It's very mediocre but like I said it's NFL mediocre. Parady does the hardest lifting if it's not a dumpsterfire. His playcalling is mediocre. His adjustments usually are nonexistent. Even his culture is soft. He is NFL functional he is just mediocre. I have seen zip to warrant a 1 spot out of 32 as an NFL HC. He was also literally outcoached by a first year HC in his first HC game. Sorry but I just don't see a lot of positives past mediocre overall and that's honestly being kind IMO.

I thought it was hilarious honestly. What a hill to choose to lose on. Annoying? Absolutely but it was too comical for me. I was and way more mad about the quality of ball on the field. It's unwatchable most of the time for me.

Most of the good coaches showed enough to know there was something there in year 1 and kept building on it, even when the situation is a mess. Canales hasn't shown any of that. I also don't really see any improvement either. He just seems overall mediocre. He runs an unimaginative offense but it is a functional NFL offense. As a HC I see nothing impressive. A cheerleader is his peak as far as I can tell. I think he will fail here and go back to being a journeyman OC at this point for other HCs much like him.

Lots of players to dislike for a lot of reasons but no one player has ruined watching Carolina football like Bryce for me. Since before game 1 he has sucked the life out of the games. And it's not just him, it's everything around him too. That trade, the need to constantly coddle him, a lame playbook he can run...it just keeps going. He is basically the Rhule of QBs for me at this point in effect.

He seems like the inverse of Ron/Fox ball. Where it should be run first but he wants to pass it instead. It lost Carroll a SB so it's that same gist as that. Functional but just like the other they tend to look to their kinks and it goes sideways at times.

Zero innovation. Just using other people's playbooks and systems. At least from what I have seen.

He has never been consistent enough with the running which is his MO tho and that becomes the thing that trips him up the most. Since Tampa he has games where he 'can't call running plays' like on Monday. It should be easy to do with decent personel, especially in the cheap RB era.

Mediocre really. Inconsistent but has good and bad games. Not bad but also not good so mediocre. Bryce does limit his playbook but I also remember him in Tampa being the same. It why why they interviewed him I was vocal about his shortcomings which seem the same 2 years later too

Functional is solid but it's not going to wow you. Looks at GB vs SF. That's the honest range IMO. Solid is still better than we have seen recently but it's still not good regardless.

Come down to earth is post game 3 or 4 from memory. CmC put up crazy numbers in a crazy time here. That is like comparing other good D guys to Luke or Peppers IMO. Not a knock either just a reality check. Could he? I don't know in this set up honestly. CMC was a freak while here, even hurt at times. 1k and 1k is some next level stuff. Im happy if Tet is 1k+ for the year.

Lol Brady and Rhule needed to be fired. You can't demote someone and he wasn't ready. I did catch poo for saying he needed more time and wasn't ready then but could be good if not in a setup built to fail. I even daid under a good coach he could end up being good. Hate to keep telling you but DC is a supporter. You keep ignoring that. Your wrong and keep ignoring he just called a game that proves Im right about that. I get you blame DC for some things and I can agree with you about a lot except he isn't still a supporter and backer thus part of the problem. Again I completely agree about the last part. The fact you can't see DC as being a backer or supporter is what I disagree with. It's obvious at this point and it's been proved yet you still ignore that one fact.

The fact you still think he ended Youngs career last year vs the reality it was his and Dan's game plan all along is the excuse. That man went into a game leaning on Bryce while avoiding the run game because ' he wanted to build on Young’s record-breaking passing performance' in year 2 after watching the team win despite Bryce's limitations. Or is he so weak he allows Dan and Tepper to force his playcalling? You allow so little blame to fall onto him which is making excuses for him when there is blame ro assign to everyone. You look at DC like Tepper looked at Fritters in 22 or Dan in 23, which were both poor calls too. In reality is just a matter of how much blame should get assigned to who because no one is blameless in that mix. Wasted talk is trying to do the mental gymnastics to prove how blameless Dave is in the current mess. He is obviously one of the issues and the only reason to really keep him is because we would be left with hiring another bottom option given the way the team is run.

Frank was a guy who was headed into retirement and was lured into a nightmare setup for big money. Not a victim. Ohh and he worked the owner so hard he is srill getting g paid. He chose that over the fight at QB or with the owner. Easy call You constantly make excuses for Dave but are correct on the front office side. It's both. The DC ended Bryces career is a dead take at this point. It was the plan and they literally tried again this year when he was choking again. DC and Morgan knew what they wanted to do and what Tepper didn't allow the year before. If he wanted Young gone he wouldn't have been working on Young's technique, Tepper wouldn't know the difference. He also would have had another QB option other than Dalton who couldn't finish out a year. And he sure as hell wouldn't have repeated it this year. But he is just a HC right? It's not like a 'QB wisperer' wouldn't be consulted on resigning Dalton or what scrub they brought in... The main problem is Tepper. Dave and Dan are symptoms of that. Neither are good and neither are terrible. Both have shown recent proof they are still on the Bryce train. Dave's time is always going to be short because he was never ready and all the hype was BS. Baker wasn't fixed, he got his head out of his own arse and was put in a good situation again. If Tepper demanded a pass first approach and he allowed that to happen then he is weak AF and is worse than I currently think. Yes he has a boss but you know what the rest of us do with a crappy boss? Whatever we can think of to work that mess while planning the next job option.

Frank chose the money and stopped caring. He is still collecting. A coach also doesn't have to play anyone he doesn't want to either. Or he could just do it and dare them to fire him. Stop making excuses. Also, him and Morgan are as tight as Frittz and Morgan were. There is zero proof he was railroaded on Bryce, Dalton or the poor #3 choices they have made. Dave got ehat he wanted which was ro sit Bryce and work on him, something Frank was denied. Please stop acting like poor Dave was the victim when what went doen last year was always Morgan and Dave's plan. Sit, reset and let Dalto buy some time. He'll they tried to do it again this year but Dalton got hurt on the forst drive. That was always 2 employees trying to force the boss into doing something they wanted. If Dave didn't want Young he wouldn't have come here and Morgan wouldn't have been successful in luring him here. Both were on the Youbg train and both still are. Dave just coached a game into a loss proving that.

It sure as hell looks too complex for them for sure at this point

Rhule #1 Then everybody else that was at least at the NFL level. Most of Dave's issues stem from him not being experienced enough. His time at OC was way too short IMO and his previous stuff was fluffer up in Seatle. They even demoted him from passing game coordinator or something after 1 year back to QB coach under an offensive HC who ran everything anyways. He is in year 4 of coaching above the QB level basically. He also appears more interested in self promotion than improving his damn skills.

Why? They won't run one let alone both. Normally I would agree but not with this crew and not when looking at the oline cap issue they are walking into in the offseason. They have that man on the cheap and still won't keep leaning on him. Damn waste

A good coach would have won those games in spite of Bryce, would have know the difference and wouldn't have let Bryce come back for a year 4. They would tell the GM and owner that they can have that QB or him if they were thinking of not following his needs. Look at teams like the 49ers or Cheifs that walked from A Smith who was getting them into the playoffs for other QBs. That crap doesn't fly with good coaches. And decent owners know it too.

As far as the head coaching goes, both offensive and defensive sides have issues. Offensive guys get too smart for their pants or are too soft. Defensive guys tend to have tougher teams but also become the biggest offensive issue. We lost a SB because of that and Houston is wasting a QB because their HC wants to build the best D instead. It's all one coin with two sides, both have positives and negatives. I want a HC that can see that dynamic and not avoid it like Ron did. Too few teams run in that space and all of them have had or are having success

As long as Young is QB #1 it's a run first team. Any coach that can't see that isn't a good coach period. Dude literally figured that out with Rico's help and then forgot it a week after Young's ascension to franchise QB agaisnt the only team he plays well agaisnt.

I would rather pay him than Hubbard but I still doubt they cough up enough to keep him and Hubbard. If Rico is smart he eill get paid and pick a contender. It's not mystery. It's been DC's MO since he became an OC. He wants to pass first and it puts him into a corner when he neglects the running game too much. Add in the Young drama and it just looks worse than his usual.

Money makes people do foolish things but with Hubbard already getting paid I don't see it happening from any angle. He damn sure isn't giving this team a discount. Plus the text leads me to think he is already looking forward forward

Him and Morgan get praise when earned but excused when they earn blame. At least he isn't Rhule or an already mentally retired Reich I guess

Lol Rico isn't coming back regardless lol. DC isn't a terrible HC but he also isn't good. He is a solid OC way over his head and another year isn't changing that IMO.
