He was the OC for 1 year but has over a decade of experience under Carroll. We wanted BJ last year who was the OC for one year, Mike McDaniel has less of a resume, McVay was an OC for 2 years with way less overall experience, John Harbaugh worked in special teams and then a DB coach for a year. Morgan clearly liked what he saw from Canales working with him in Seattle and brought him in to interview in front of the firm who it seems walked away impressed to. People get too caught up in how long someone called plays.

Well in just a few days OP was already proven wrong about Tepper keeping “his guy” in Tabor…

Looks like Tabor is gone.

I think there is a decent portion of the "pessimistic" fans that do it in hopes to be proven wrong. They either get to crow "I told you so" if we continue to struggle or their team is playing well and they get proven wrong. It's kind of a win/win for them. It's just an odd approach to me because it's just sports. Get intrigued, get excited, and if they struggle let's watch them try to figure it out again. It's a fun hobby and should never be taken too seriously. I swear some people are having nightmares about our QB and waking up in cold sweats. He will either develop into a good QB or not. If not we will just try again to acquire a new one.

Yep. The situation should resolve itself.

Nah overhaul the whole offense. Campen, Frank, (Brown, McCown and Staley are already gone), get Jefferson away from our WRs. Let Canales build his offensive staff from the ground up. If he wants his own defensive guy, that's fine, but Evero is solid there.

But is was STRONGLY worded....

Great person and great defensive coach. Good role model for any young person.

If it turns out like the other two mentioned we will all love it. At the end of the day HC money doesn't matter to anyone but the owner. All of the money owed to Reich doesn't affect our team outlook in any way.

It also appears Dan Morgan got the guy he wanted due to their history. GM heavily involved in picking his HC, search and numbers mimic previous coaches hired through the same firm. So far so good as far as Tepper meddling....

The firm they used to hire Canales had the Rams give McVay a 6 year and the Niners give Shanahan a 6 year. It is suppose to acknowledge it will take several years to correct this team and roster. From the outside looking in, it looks like Tepper is letting the firm do their thing.

Sounds like you are optimistic about being pessimistic. What does it all mean?!?

Oh I agree. Football isn’t serious. It’s a fun hobby. Part of being a fan is getting overly excited about it. I just never get too vested or take it too personally when they fail to meet expectations. I’m all about wait and see and if it doesn’t work, reset and try again with football.

I’m going to need that dumbed down and summarized please. Thanks.

He is 5’10” and some change. They measure them now in front of everyone. I’m curious to see if he bulks up some this offseason like CMC did. That really could help him a lot.

Young was actually 6 foot even. A bunch of those guys were exaggerated back then. https://magazine.byu.edu/article/the-perspective-of-a-six-foot-quarterback/ I’m only 6 feet tall. My football card says 6-foot-2, and in shoes I really am 6-2, but it was a dream to be 6-2 because “6-foot” and “quarterback” don’t go together well in the NFL because everybody else is 6-5, 6-6, 6-7. He does go on to say it led to him not seeing many open WRs…

Yeah most “sources” I’ve read state Frank wanted Carr which actually fits him better since he has never really worked with a rookie QB.

Burrow’s arm was fine. He just found a way to make it better. Great players are always looking at ways to get better.

Throwing form and muscle can increase it. Burrow was able to increase his throwing velocity by tweaking his throwing motion after his rookie year. He strengthen his hips. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/joe-burrow-altered-throwing-motion-this-offseason-while-recovering-from-torn-acl#:~:text=He made changes to his,and being more accurate downfield.&text=Burrow focused on strengthening his,with his velocity and accuracy.

The Golden Calf of Bristol

Josh Allen had some of his mechanics fixed at Buffalo.

Ben Johnson was a first year OC last year when he opted out of interviews last year. A lot of people on here were wanting him as HC then.

Cam’s success under Dorsey vs Geno’s jump in his first year with Canales isn’t really close to the same thing at all. Geno was written off as a bust and received “comeback player of the year.” The same award Baker is a finalist for this year. You can dismiss success for any candidate, but it is a good sign that it at least appears to follow this candidate. Hopefully it will translate at the next level. Nothing is a guarantee but I’m at least intrigued. Pretty solid candidate considering where we are as a franchise.

Yeah it’s promising. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but who knows. Arthur Smith was the hottest candidate in his cycle and 3 years later he is unemployed.

Oh I agree but if success follows the candidate that’s a good sign. Russ’s best year was when Canales was his QB coach. Geno’s comeback year had Canales as the QB coach, Baker’s recent career year featured Canales as OC.
