My big concern here Is that what everybody knew we needed was a guy who could/would tell David Tepper to butt out of this hiring decisions.

Canales is arguably the guy with the least leverage of any candidate to do that.

Canales seems to be a Dan Morgan hire.  As President/GM it would fall on Morgan more than the coach to try to have the owner back off.

What do y’all think about this? Idk much about him at all. Why is he considered a good offensive mind?

Numbers don't tell the whole story. They also had position changes and new faces on OL, a QB we jettisoned mid-season, no running game to speak of, a head coach on the hot seat, and yet they won the division for 3rd straight time, and got a playoff victory. Most folks had them picked to finish last in the NFC South.

I have to wait and see. We need players. I am not going to pretend that I know what to do. Like some people in charge,that think they are the experts. I do know what I like. Physical football,that teams hate to play and can get a 4th and 1.

On one hand it gives you pause. On the other hand he was in the playoffs and won one game while nearly pulling off another with that same offense.

At the bare minimum that's what we are looking for.

Brother all we gave him was time and each time we were worse off for it. All his wheeling and dealing only amounted to the darkest days in the history of our franchise.

If you gave him the benefit of the doubt and tons of rope there's no reason to not at least give Canales a season to show us something.

Never said I wouldn't.

What I actually have said is that I'm more concerned about the process than the hire itself. It feels like we're making some of the same mistakes again.

I'm also concerned that Canales might be the guy with the least leverage to tell David Tepper to shove off when it comes to influencing his decisions.

I'll absolutely give him a chance. Hell, I gave Matt Rhule a chance.

But I had concerns at that time, and I have them now.

I understand and share this sentiment.

Of course if the largest concern is whether or not he will tell Tepper to kick rocks we could have said the same thing about any of the other coordinators and basically anyone not named Harbaugh Vrabel or Belichick.

The hope at this point is it is Dan Morgan steering this hire. We'll see.

For what it’s worth. The Bucs offense passed the eye test to me. Baker had a great year, Mike Evans had a good bounce back year, White was a top RB in fantasy, Godwin was solid. Lastly, they won and went to the playoffs and won there too. I’d like to see some offensive ranking splits from like the last 5 weeks of the regular season and see where they rank. In my mind the offense was way better than those numbers show.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
