oh and qb as well

QB is a weird one. Because I have no clue what their intentions are with it. 

They could be anywhere from drafting one in R1 to getting a late round flyer, to just getting another vet. 

I've got no pulse/feel for what they want at QB. So I just went with my personal thoughts of focusing on rebuilding the team first and trying to resolve qb in 2026. 

Observing our recent history we've been swinging and missing a lot at QB. Maybe its time to take a break and rebuild other parts of the team.

for sure, but as of right now the position has to be addressed as well

I am not expecting much from Shaq at his mileage numbers after an achilles tear. That ship has sailed or sunk, most likely.

It would be better to plan to replace him and if he comes back strong, bonus. We need someone that can cover just a little too, Wallace ain't too hot on that, maybe he'll get better with experience and work. 

It is hard watching this stuff when we watched Luke and TD for years.

are you included edge in this? Because IMO our most pressing needs are 

1 Edge

2 MLB

3 NT

4 TE

5 CB

6 WR 

7 S

We could use multiple people at edge IMO. I would be happy if they draft two in the first three rounds

This is of course excluding QB which is truly our number one need but that can't be addressed IMO this offseason

That's my hope. This year doesn't look great for QBs. I really hope they just wait until 2026 to draft a rookie. Our team has so many holes on it that drafting a rookie here wouldn't be beneficial to them anyway

Canales and Morgan and the whole crew have much more time to consider the options.

I hate to say it because people don't like it but IF the demise of Bryce is real, it opens things way up. Better to know where we are not heading sooner than later.

If they'd have known he was/would be shelved after 2 weeks maybe we'd have operated differently setting the roster.

I don't think there is yet a guy on our roster who will clearly be a starter here in 3 years.

Jewell seems unlikely to be a long term keep, Shaq's future is in question, Wallace is a rookie that there is no telling how that will turn out and the rest are a grab bag of JAGs and PS players.

It's an area that will need development but pass rushers and interior DL are far bigger issues on the defense.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
