Yea seems like the most obvious case of fools gold yet -
It's either Bryce or Daniel Jones and it's probably going to be Bryce. -
I mean, I respect your opinion, and your station as an ol' timer, but you're giving credit that he may not deserve. Some people suspected that it was pressure from on high that precipitated the Young benching. I mean Canales said at after the game, with his chest, that Bryce was the starter. Then, overnight, he looked at the tape and magically did an about-face. I mean, it's not a stretch at all to think that you have to keep playing the so-called "hot hand," lest you interrupt the mojo. It's not a stretch to take into account that old football theory about RBs needing to get into a rhythm. It's not a stretch to think that against a bad run defense, that you need to prioritize running the ball (with your most proficient back, no less, or at least the one that had recently been running all over teams). I mean, I can like Canales (or not), but still see that his situational play calling leaves something to be desired. I think Canales is too slow to act and react. If you saw the video, the Bills kept running the same damned run play, except to different sides or with a slightly different wrinkle, and yet Canales doesn't tell Evero to get his head out his crack and do something to stop it. Moreover, he chose to keep Evero in the first place, which is somewhat provocative in itself. So, yeah, Canales doesn't get the benefit of doubt with me. His only saving grace in my mind is that he was saddled with Bryce Young, so maybe he should get some grace to turn Bryce around, or get his own QB so that we can take away all excuses and see what Canales can do without the built-in excuses. We don't have to do anything. Canales is not untouchable. Now will we probably keep him? Probably. But you never know. Let me tell you a little story. During the BYE week, David Tepper decides to take a trip down to Cabo trying to chill but can't help commiserating about how his team has gotten blown out by the Bills, Packers and the Rams (a fresh loss on the forefront of his mind). He's sitting in the beach bar, throwing back some cold ones, waiting for a freshly grilled steak and a fresh bottle of Heinz, and in walks Jon Gruden. Dave and Jon get to discussing the Panthers and what should be done and should've been done, and the rest is history. Imaginary? Yes. Could Tepper wake up after another blowout and decide---seemingly impetuously, but not really---that the current head coach ain't working. Hell, it's not like there isn't some precedent...
