okay you were able to isolate one specific thing about his season that he was better at than ever before. I'm sure it has nothing else to do with having two great jump ball receivers but hey, good on Canales. 

Overall (the better way to judge a player's year) his production was comparable to 2018 and 2020. Maybe the Panthers should be hiring Freddie Kitchens instead!

that's a bit of one. also he had one game at Lambeau field where he had a perfect rating. no big deal? he was the first ever to do that. baker mayfield...first ever to have a perfect game at Lambeau field.

the parts where he was at his scariest, he became more than competent. he became good. 

buy it or not. i don't care, but there's plenty for others to see where canales has helped immensely with both baker and geno. 

not excited? fine.

hate it? fine.

constipated? fine.

am i delusional? maybe, but that's fine as well.

If nothing else, it shows competency to put Baker in a position to succeed where he failed previously.

That's kind of a good thing.

Meh, I don't know poo about football in the end relative to many, but I just don't care about this hire.  Calling myself underwhelmed is itself an understatement

Based on what I've seen of him so far, I'd call myself cautiously optimistic.

That's the mindset I always aim for, but in some cases (like with that Baylor guy) It's much harder than others.

In this one, Canales is not the coach that I was hoping for, and I do have some questions about the process that led to his hire.

But I will at least say with him, he's qualified, intelligent, personable and a good communicator.

So I'll give him a shot.

Exactly where I'm at. Am completely neutral on the hire, which I guess is better than the strong confusion/aversion I felt with the Rhule and Reich hires. Could just be the apathy though.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
