Yeah it is wasted for everyone. Even AT, who he fed, felt like it was wasted. Was done with it. The resources… surely as a long term Panthers, he put it on a side track that does not lead anywhere but right back where we were. If we had healthy CBs vs TB in ‘22 we could have gotten into the playoffs with a losing record. We essentially blew all of that time, money and assets to do a 360. 3 fuging years. Now we are supposed to wait 5 years for him to make mid. Top 15 ranking. I am not sure they would have waited 5 years for Joe Montana. You think Belichick waits 5 years for Brady? Not me. And we are in the era of the cheap slotted salary for drat picks era, where it is supposed to be easier to move on. You have to want to though and you have to be in charge with a clue. He has had flashes that lasted a whole game, a couple of times. I could stretch that to 4 maybe but I am not even sure of that. Maybe. He has had substantially more flashes that lasted a half or quarter, and all that combined doesn’t stack as high as his weak performances. It is maddening. -

Here is how I see it...You can talk to the QB until 15 seconds before the play clock expires. There are reasons to believe that Canales is spending a lot of time gathering information from those in better position to make the decisions. Have you noticed how often we break the huddle between 15 and 13 seconds remaining? I have a theory... 1. Canales is on the sideline. His view of the field is not as good as the OC, who is sitting in the box in the sky--he can see the defense, spacing, substitutions, etc. This means that Canales must get information from up top before selecting a play. 2. Canales has to spend time during the week with the defense, special teams, etc. in addition to the offense. The OC is with the offense all week. He knows the plays that were run well in practice--he knows the nicks and dings they might be complaining about--he knows their questions and input about certain plays, formations, etc. Canales may be aware, but not AS aware. In other words, his hand is not on the pulse as much as the OC. It is likely that, during the week, the OC is the person answering questions and making decisions. On Sunday, Canales steps in and makes less informed decisions. 3. Canales likes the moniker "QB whisperer." He may feel more confident being the voice in Bryce's helmet because he is Bryce's mentor. Maybe he has a calming effect and maybe he thinks he can keep Bryce focused. MAYBE he is not the best play caller, but he calls plays and mentors Bryce. Maybe that is why he calls plays. Just a theory--but Canales could be the play caller because Bryce is the QB and he is trying to literally whisper into the QB ear.
