Why I believe Canalas is the coach for us.

I'm really impressed with the guy, Coach Canalas-But to keep this short....(Because I could really expand on this with alot of TDLDRLRTD'ed) I'd rather keep it short, sweet and simple. 

Fun. What he and Dalton really expands on alot of...  underneath all the schematics, engineering of a playbook, contracts, grueling practice, sweat, tears and nagging pain, ibuprofens..,etc... Is bringing it back to why we played sports in our pee wee leagues. Because it was dog gone fun.  
Pyschology of Fun on gameday.. Pretty easy to grasp, but this conduces looseness. 

When you've learned something through basically muscle memory, the last thing you really need on gameday is the calculator robot without emotion. We are human, Emotion and fun of winning brings a locker room up faster than any large paycheck to the leagues best player or in other words, It's genius to lighten up. 

Canalas does this naturally. Dalton does this naturally. These are guys you want to go out to eat with. Hang out with. They're fun. Before football, we're human. 
How do we win as humans? trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. 

The obvious factors of knowing football are I believe pretty given at this stage of the sport.. The "IT" factor for this era, I believe, is their engineering of football X's and O's, but intrinsically the guys you have fun with.

    • I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.
    • Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...
    • Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
