The crazy thing is we would be 3-0 with Cam Newton

He was a project coming out of college and seeing that he doesn’t care much he won’t make it IMO -
My very UNPOPULAR opinion: First, I would want to know the locker room. Have they turned on Canales? If not, I would stay with him. Here is why: Switching coaches every year or two is not the answer to long term success. We are chasing hope instead of building a program around a young coach. There were not many applicants for this job and if you think they are suddenly dying to be here now, that MIGHT justify a coaching change Canales has made some tough decisions (like benching Bryce), but his weaknesses (the team's weaknesses) have been in the areas in which we have neglected or sucked for years. Who did we get for CMC? Who made the trade with the Bears when we had no idea at the time who we wanted? Who drafted Mingo, Marshall, XL, etc.? Who signed a frequently-injured CB to the biggest contract in NFL history at the time for a CB? I look at the personnel decisions and the play calling. Our edge players are injured and not that good when healthy. He played Johnson because he had nothing left. Johnson was terrible Sunday. He has nothing at LB and two starting OL are now out. XL is pouting because he does not seem to have paid the price to be paid the price of a first round pick. AT was sent packing. Bryce's resurgence last year may have been Canales and not Bryce. Evero still does not have the tools he needs to succeed--on the field or perhaps between his ears. If Canales fires Evero, he is probably doing the right thing. Remember, we had a lot of money in dead cap when Canales took over. Fitterer was the worst GM since Matt Millen in the NFL, and we have sucked recently in the first round of the draft (Bryce, XL) until this season. When the GM is trying to give the coach what he needs to be successful and you keep changing coaches, it is difficult. I think this--stay with Canales, but bring in a veteran DC. Some argue that Canales needs to move on from Bryce, but this team is not set up to give him options. Andy aint the answer. We never seem to take the PS QB seriously--all eggs are in one basket. Canales needs options. This team needs to address the QB situation. Bryce's best games are not Lombardi worthy, so move on. He is not the Alpha a young coach needs on the field. Give him options at QB, some LBs and a good coordinator on defense, and I think we could use another stud WR. It is time to start drafting developmental OL and start grooming them to replace our aging OL. This draft is solid at QB as it stands now. We need to focus on drafting the right guy and signing a veteran backup who is not the starting QB's BFF. Compete. Heck, i have no problem doing what Cleveland did--draft a QB in round 1 and then another QB if one falls into day 3. I think we need stability and I am not confident any respectable coach comes to Carolina. Canales is frustrated, but the front office has failed him, as have injuries, and a really bad draft a few years ago that brought them Bryce. He was hired to fix Bryce--so I say neuter him so he does not sire any more 5'8" QBs. Canales is better that Rivera was--Canales just has so much less talent. Rivera was coach of the year a few times because he had Cam Newton, but could never put two winning seasons together. That is a crime. -
