It was Tepper.  You take Canales post game talk + Monday meeting + benching = Tepper. Then the fact Canales refuses to comment on what went into it and the convo with Tepper speaks volumes.  Because if your owner had nothing to do with it....you EASILY could just say that.  But he can't.  And isn't.   Reading the tea leaves under Tepper has been easy.  People just overthink it. 

which I think is fine.  the benching is the right call in reality.  

but as I joked in another thread, the actual red flag in all this....is the Canales QB whisperer stuff IMO was always overstated bologna.  Geno rebounded because he went to long standing winning org in Seattle.  Baker just returned to being Baker.  Argued that this offseason.   Canales had all offseason with Bryce....and made Bryce worse.   Now, I don't think he NEEDS to be the legendary QB whisperer he was painted coming in by the fanbase.  But that narrative probably should be put to bed for a bit. 

Young does not have a single NFL level athletic trait.

At this point I'd need some convincing that he has a single NFL level mental trait either.

TL;DR ain't no QB to whisper.

We already have a guy who throws for 120 yards a game though. Fields is bigger and moves better though I totally agree with you there.

Mad respect to Canales for this and for saying multiple times Andy gives them the best chance to win. This is the mark of a good coach.

Pass. Jack Plummer is next man up. He doesn't cost near as much and is a complete mystery. Makes it more entertaining.

Texans had Bryce ahead of Stroud.

Meeting with your boss isn't meddling.

Coaches and GMs have made all of our draft picks.

We did land on the moon.

9/11 was not an inside job.

Dunning-Kruger is rampant with NFL fans.

The sun will shine again in Panther land.

Part of starting Dalton must be for Tepper to evaluate Canalas.  He will probably fire him without progress.  Man is an abomination

It could be that Canales is a new HC and doesn't have his "coach speak" game up to par yet, but I was surprised how matter of fact and honestly final the decision sounded. I expected something along the lines of "We want to give Bryce a chance to take a step back and be able to sit and learn without the pressure of playing right now. Andy Dalton gives us the best chance to win right now and we think it'll benefit Bryce to watch how an established vet operates in a starting role." But the way Canales put it out there it honestly sounds like we've flat out turned the page. 

Spot on. In a very tough situation I though Canales handled himself well. It had become painfully clear that Bryce was the problem not the personnel or the scheme.
