Minimum three. To me this is Teppers mindset: Three years gets Rhule and Frank off the payroll, as well as the end of Young’s rookie wage scale (not counting the 5th year option.) This will show enough patience to give them more than enough time to build a contending team, and we will know of Young is a proven starter in the league and can move on (of course us fans will make this call by the end of this upcoming season, but I bet in Teppers eyes it’s the end of year 4 based on what we gave up). By the end of year 3 it’s either extension time or cleaning house time for Young and the coach/GM

I think Canales will get at least 2 full seasons without major scrutiny or risk of being fired. Bt the start of the 3rd season there will need to be more answers than questions. He's a young first time coach and you can't fire someone who we absolutely know is going to need time for a learning curve after 11 games. 

The team is total buttcheeks right now, especially the offense. It's going to be a lot of work and the team could very easily be the worst team in the NFL again, especially not having the first overall pick to change the fortunes after the worst season in the NFL. The goal for 2024 is to see if Bryce Young is the QB of the future. Canales will need to do everything he can to put Bryce in situations to make plays. If it's clear Bryce is not the guy, Canales should have a shot at selecting a QB with the Panthers 2025 first round pick. By then I'd hope the team is a little more sound in other areas, but the lack of draft capital the next few seasons is going to leave it's mark over the next few seasons.

It's quite possible this turns out to be a disaster no matter what Canales does because he was saddled with a bad QB and no first round draft pick in his first season. That's just not a good start. Last season was the time to take a shot on a young coach like this, so they're already a year behind I'd say. It's not a good starting situation. 

Side note, I think Tepper fired Reich so quickly because he was an old veteran coach and Tepper expected results from someone like that right away. That was a fallacy because the team was much worse than expected and not all of it was Frank Reich's fault. The positive trend at the end of 2022 also gave ownership and the fans false hope the team was improving which is also why results were expected so quickly. Reich was also fired from his job with the Colts because the team had completely fallen apart. So expecting him to morph into some great coach was unrealistic from the start. He was also handed a flawed and physically limited QB who did not fit his system, whether it was his choice to draft him or not.

tl;dr - I give Canales at least two full seasons before there's a chance he gets fired. I honestly have my doubts for his success because of the poor situation he begins his coaching tenure with.

I want everyone to hear this loud and clear. We are *NOT* going to be good next year. There are just too many holes on this roster and not enough draft capital/cap space will be available to fix everything. 

So if we win 5-6 games, I will actually consider that a huge improvement. Please, I am begging you guys to give Canales at least until year three to see what's he got. That actually coincides with our Bryce timeline very well because if we aren't good by year three it will be time to start anew ....again.

Tell that to David Tepper. He basically has acted much like what an average NFL fan thinks is right with disastrous consequences.

I'm not sure if there's anyone in here that has a generally positive opinion on Tepper at this point. That's a mighty feat.

No talk about winning the NFC South. No talk about playoffs. Sit in a suite, say nothing and let the people you hired do their jobs without any worry you'll fire them in the near future.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
