You aren’t wrong

Nothing Cowherd said is not correct my point in sharing the video is as not to be a fan boy for Cowherd. It was to demonstrate how the media has come full circle with this guy, It was short and sweet there are plenty of longer videos from veterans in coaching and personnel who say the same things. I’ll take it a step further, if you really listen to Young's press conferences, he tells you who is and it isn’t good. Quote ‘it depends on how focused I am’ the best thing for Young is to be moved…the franchise too.

Been some interesting talk by podcasters discussing the dynamics of young and canales 1. thinks the ‘do right longer’ motto along with the no turnover mantra has him even more screwed up and 2. also a hangover from the 2023 beating 3. they point to his recent espn interview and also answers to beat reporters about progressions and time in pocket he said ‘he runs when the play breaks down and does as many progressions as possible as time allows …i think the zavala experiment caused him to be more skittish 4. Then canales newness is not helpful either bottom line from the podcasters Feel He has 5 games left to stay in carolina and prove who is or he will be gone (i dont) they also feel Canales needs a veteran OC That either staff level coaching changes or a qb change has to come as carolina turns. ml On the game this weekend, said what to watch is evero vs mckay because of their ability to make in game adjustments. Canales not sO much.

I believe he will be here in 2026 and starting i believe they will find a veteran like brisset and dalton happily rides into the sunset 2026 draft will be about defense rds 1 to 3 and oline rds 4 to 7 got a lot of repeat injured vets now and better backup depth needed 2027, They will keep their veteran, draft best available and young, like Dalton, rides into the sunset i feel really bad for psl owners, i used to be one, sitting throw another year with beta minnie mouse

Lol

He even says it. Ie can’t wait to see the ‘concepts’ McVay uses’ As example, ben johnson has his own innovative concepts… to be fair Ben also has a fairly egotistical and fearless qb

There is nothing about Bryce that elevates this team when bad things happen i wish him no ill but I wish he was not this team’s qb it is not working, not for him or the franchise, it just shouldn’t be this hard as the saying goes ‘ can’t fix a bad design’ He isn’t designed for the nfl. It is seldom good, it is never perfect, and it is a 17 week dog fight .

Believes morgan will have no choice but to move on from young in 2026 or 2027 30 second clip

And the concept of using two backs in the backfield seems very perplexing to him

Can only throw lasers if 1. The base is set, which he still doesn’t do after 3 years 2. Decisive. Which he isn’t and that allows the nfl, uber fast, defensive backs to close on any throw he makes This isn’t Bama anymore honestly, sick of his flaws and adapting to them, find a guy for which so much adaptation isn’t needed….over and over again…every single freaking sunday

Those ping pong tables need to go he does have his right hand wrapped. Regardless he is dropping too many balls. If the hand is injured, use him as a decoy and throw to someone elseb

Yep. Yep. Yep he is incapable of more than one read or responding if say, throw the ball to induce penalty if the defense is offsides or if the defense isn’t off the field in time to get free yards he is a deer in the headlights out there most times i have never seen such a timid nfl qb…ever I saw a clip of him coming out of the tunnel monday night and i knew it was over not running that TD in killed that game and momentum. I do not know another nfl qb that would not have seen his own blocker in front of him. Not a one

well, he all but indicated that in his press conference He wanted his passing offense to ‘come alive’ however, there where so many mistakes on offense besides Bryce, per film review done by some podcasters I respect in the All 22 Young, missing reads, throwing off his back foot continuously, late with throws We are in year 3….enough receivers and Young thinking it’s one route and it was another Tet dropping critical passes…I’ll tell ya, I’m over this one. Top 10 pick, pretend you are Malik neighbors or Jefferson and catch the damned ball …and the ever so popular Legette, ballerina that he is, stepping out of bounds,,again they need a veteran receiver out there and they don’t have it…I get the concept of wanting young and the receivers to grow together but young has to grow first, and it is ending year 3 One thing about Thielen, he was always where he was supposed to be, he seldom dropped passes and he had no problem keeping his feet in bounds What these guys do in practice together, no idea

Honestly, with McVay as HC and Matt having the year of his life, Williams doesn’t matter I've watched the rams a lot this year and the line gives ,Matt time, puca and davante are constantly open and if they aren’t the TEa are. McVay plus a healthy stafford equals Super Bowl if that defense can hold up

Yes. Good point on the timid I didn't focus on it as Canales should know by now Young goes into his shell ill tell you honestly, i saw how young looked in the tunnel coming out with the team without his helmet on he looked scared shitless he played scared shitless one podcaster looking at the all 22 film said Young was thoroughly confused by Salah’s use of Mustafa and basically became paralyzed .. similar to what happened in 2023 with Bates in Atlanta Salah as DC greater than Canales as Oc

I thought that too Ie trying to prove ‘look, he cant do it under the lights on the big stage’ honestly, im Not sure he is that bright then again, how many coaches and offenses have to fail to prop up young before this ends i blame both canales and young for that defensive carnage Monday night Both of them …and ill say too, if part of the problem is after 12 games into the season, the receivers are still too deep in their routes then either new receivers are needed Or new coaching or the routes are failures or the qb or all 4 they have had preseason, mini camps, training camp, practice and the season their coach was a receivers coach and now the OC and they still cant consistently complete a pass not a good look he has business being the OC and HC he isnt McVay and he isnt Reid

Two trivial things about Canales that drives me nuts 1. His use of nicknames for grown ass men ‘t mo. D mo.’ And on and on 2. His freaking word salad with things like ‘come alive’ as if they ate some offensive juggernaut And example below ‘Offensively, just could not get our rhythm going. And really it just started off with the run game. I have to make sure that that comes alive’ Dave, here’s a phrase for your offense DOA

i find this to be alarming on so many levels im going to change the order of the portions i copied from Joe’s article i really have serious doubts about Canales’ common sense 1. A running team forgetting to run 2. Making this game plan about Young’s passing game momentum . Total idiot. It is about winning games not about young’s momentum. That is what practice is for , not live games god help us all. Article below Confused by the Panthers’ pass-heavy play calls vs. 49ers? Rico Dowdle probably was, too CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In two seasons here, Canales has juggled offensive play calling with his head coach responsibilities. Sometimes the balls end up on the floor. In two critical moments Monday night, Canales chose to go with a pass in situations where a handoff would have been the more direct approach. The first was the disastrous, first-and-goal play from the 1 where Bryce Young opted against running in for the score and instead lobbed the ball toward rookie Mitchell Evans, only to see safety Ji’Ayir Brown come down with it. The second one was just as perplexing. When the 49ers were whistled for roughing long snapper J.J. Jansen on Ryan Fitzgerald’s successful PAT pulled the Panthers to 17-10, Canales took the point off the board and went for a 2-pointer from the 1. But Canales ran a play that didn’t take advantage of the spot, with Young missing Jalen Coker in the back of the end zone. (Rookie wideout Jimmy Horn Jr. appeared to be the first read in the flat.) Canales said after the game he wanted to build on Young’s record-breaking passing performance in Atlanta, and thought the line was protecting well. But that lack of rhythm Canales mentioned was the result of never giving Dowdle the opportunity to get into it. When Dowdle ripped off a 17-yard gain on the first offensive play of the second half, Canales came back to him two plays later. It was his final carry. After an overnight, cross-country flight, Rico Dowdle began his Tuesday — at least on social media — with an emoji. Dowdle’s post on Xcontained no words accompanying the face with spiral eyes emoji, which EmojiTerra tells us symbolizes “confusion, dizziness, overwhelm or being utterly shocked.” Per the website, it’s often used to convey “feeling dazed, hypnotized, or caught off-guard in troubling or surprising situations.” It’s not hard to figure out why the Carolina Panthers running back would be feeling some or all of those emotions. Dowdle has been one of the Panthers’ fun, feel-good stories this season, an Asheville native who signed a prove-it deal with his home-state team and then got right to the business of proving it. Before the Panthers hosted the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, Dowdle warned his former team to “buckle up,” then backed up his words by running for 183 yards and racking up 239 yards from scrimmage. But in a 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, it was Dowdle who was buckled up. And the guy who strapped Dowdle into a safety harness and threw on the child-safety locks was none other than Panthers coach Dave Canales. Dowdle led all backs Monday — including Christian McCaffrey — by averaging 6.3 yards per carry. But while 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was feeding McCaffrey a cornucopia of 24 carries and 31 touches, Dowdle finished with a meager six rushing attempts. That matched his season low from a loss at Arizona in Week 2, when Chuba Hubbard was still RB1 and the Panthers were throwing nearly every down in the second half trying to catch up. Dowdle wasn’t the only back Canales dissed. Hubbard had just three carries and the Panthers finished with 13 as a team, tied for the fifth fewest in franchise history. Some of it was about opportunity, or lack of it. With the 49ers’ two touchdown drives consuming more than 16 minutes, the Panthers ran just 43 offensive plays, which matched their low under Canales and tied for the second fewest in team history. But Canales, who arrived in Charlotte last year preaching the balanced offense gospel, conceded Tuesday that he didn’t emphasize the running plays on his call sheet nearly enough. “Offensively, just could not get our rhythm going. And really it just started off with the run game. I have to make sure that that comes alive,” he said during an opening statement to reporters. “That’s a part of who we are. It’s a part of what we believe in. We have two great backs that contribute to this team. The offensive line was blocking well and that was a missed opportunity by me. And I’ll do better in that regard.”

Lot if talking heads have been saying this they are not wrong

This guy can be good at podcasting. He can also be hyperbolic. This time, good, and her is his comments after all 22 review many of the same comments as our bord However, one interesting comment was young not knowing how to handle safety mustafa number 6 on the 49ers with how salah used him and that combined with the receivers possibly running routes too deep combined with young timidness, disaster cant summarize more just thought, interesting listen

I do not see it too many injuries …on the oline and defense Plus the saints have always given the panthers fits And mayfield can manage that non throwing shoulder injury, they are tge division champs 6 and 11 last night was a dagger stuck into many things

Didn’t Verge say Young would either be replaced or have competition next year? I think i saw that response recently

Best response on this board about the game canales mirrors his mentor too much. Salah who was in Seattle with Canales, beat Dave’s ass like a drum with his coverages

Drew Bree’s evolved he was never number 32 out of 32 QBs in the league what Young is right now, he will be in 5 years he needs a perfect team, or to play Atlanta every week, to succeed have that qb deal with a zone defense and pressure and he is finished

either Canales or Young needs to go Bryce in one play. The interception in the end zone 1. If he throws the ball without hesitation, touchdown to evans 2. If he runs it, touchdown 3. If he throws it away because of the congestion in the end zone, the panthers keep the ball, and can either run it 3 times or run it twice, and kick a field goal This mistake is not random. seen enough.
