What's your confidence level in Canales?

That's the kinda thing for which experience is the best teacher.

That’s why I’m as hopeful as I am at the moment.  His flaws look to be correctable and lean more towards inexperience rather than ineptitude.

Theres a real chance we’ve found our guy. Fingers crossed.

From a scheme perspective he’s not that creative and it’s not that “QB friendly” like a Sean Payton drawing up 20 different way to throw screen passes. But he seems to be a really good motivator and instill confidence in his team.

Definitely more positive than I was about the initial hire. What's impressed me more than Bryce's journey with him is how the coaching staff and play calling has evolved over the course of the season. They're clearly focused on getting better which in turn is going to lead to winning.

Very interested to see what they lean into more next season vs. show less of.

fetti is the absolute biggest moron on twitter and that is saying something

I’m liking Canales, but Dan is stocking this team with football players. I really like Dan’s approach. O line is the most important position group on the team, ours was lousy, dude all but fixed it in 1 offseason. That’s strong work. 

[Cavscout]

He took Philly and KC to the wire with a bad defense. He "fixed" Bryce. I think he is going to be a really good HC for a long time

[Osaka Panther]

I am gonna go B - 

He got Young playing much better in the 2nd half of the season and it has given the fan base hope. 

Some concerns I have with him

1) he seems too nice and to peaches and roses. i like to see some fire out of a coach. 

2) he doesn't seem to interfere with the DC when he ought to. if I am the HC aint no team gonna just keep running the ball down my throat. hell naw. ill tell the DC to blitz the hell out them up the running gaps and force you to beat me through the air. no one is just gonna sit there and beat me doing the same stuff all game. 

 

[fanpanther]

Confidence is sky high with him on offense he took Bryce young and took him from horrific to looking like an nfl starter.  Defensively I have no clue why he wants to stick with the DC.  Not sure what he sees in him but maybe he thinks its just a lack of talent overall.  But I remember some of the panthers dcs int he past taking teams with no talent and making them look good Jack Delrio I felt was good at that. 

[Bear Hands]

I’m like a 7/10

Feel more positive than negative, he’s laid a good foundation and established a culture, now want to see real progress from a competitiveness and winning standpoint. 
 

[Panthering]

9/10? He rejuvenated Bryce's career, has guys bought in to his messaging, designs creative plays more regularly than I've ever been used to seeing in Charlotte, and kept the team competitive. That's a damn good outcome for year one.

Still a meh for me. 

2 wins to 5 wins isn't that big of a deal. Remember how much we screamed Rhule sucked and he was a 5 win coach. 

Rebuilt the oline? More like bought the oline. Most expensive line in the NFL. Plus this would be more of a Morgan thing than a DC. 

Unlocking Bryce's potential is a wait and see. Bryce looked like ass to start, got benched and then began to play well once the season was essentially over. That's a load of pressure off the QB. Do I like where BY is trending, yes. Can he do it for a full season? We'll see. 

Chuba as a 1k yard rusher. Most expensive line in the NFL. If we had less than a 1k yard rusher I'd be pissed. Chuba has looked much better as a receiver and has obviously put in the work. 

Do we have a HC? Yes. Is he going to be a good one? Way too soon to tell IMO.

I'm probably at 5/10 for Dave. I'd love to see more consistency, and I also feel like he needs to continue to grow into being HC and play caller. Sometimes the whole operation on offense looks fantastic, and then there are major duds like the Dallas or TB away game.

I'm more wait and see on Morgan. I agree with some of the other posters who mention a need to improve college scouting. If that happens I think we have a good HC and GM combo.

[TheSpecialJuan]

He’s such a hottie

This was quite literally Morgan’s first offseason calling the shots. He had input before but that’s different from being the shot caller. Now he’s got those 20 inch blades on the impala. 
 

We don’t know what he will do, or how he may give more input from Canales regarding offensive picks moving forward. 
 

trust the process.
