What's your confidence level in Canales?

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. 

I agree with you - that's why I said wait and see...

Seems to be a lot of positivity and a lot of chances to earn your shot. That can go a long way in building a team that has forgotten how to win.

And honestly, they are showing more grit than I gave them credit for.

I have got to, got to, got to see some massive improvement on the defense, though.

Get us into the playoffs next season in a shaky NFCSouth and he's our dude, yanno?

The head coach builds the culture--I like the positivity--lotta ups and downs during a season, and football is very mental.  Bryce fed off the positivity, I have no doubt.  We finished the last 9 games 4-5 and almost beat KC, Philly, and TB during that stretch.  You can SEE when the players started buying in. 

This is where I'm at with Canales. Players didnt quit down the stretch and thats a ringing endorsement for him.  

Morgan did pretty good in FA last offseason shoring up the Oline... last years draft is still a big question mark tho.  How he addresses the defense this offseason will tell us a lot.

Overall I am optimistic.  We finally have some continuity with the staff and roster.  If they can get rid of the dead weight and add some talent we could have a competitive team next year.

7/10 is appropriate. He is doing some great stuff with play calling. You all wanted a young offensive mind, now you are saying he needs to not call plays. That is nonsense and there are a plethora of coaches that have won that way calling either their offensive or defensive systems full time. He made Bryce look competent after benching and then confident by the end of season. The last three points are for defense which can be remedied by moving on from Evero. Don't get me wrong, they missed a lot of production from guys being hurt and lost to free agency. But right now he has the stats to move on to a different coordinator where he can turn that side of the ball over to him. The culture has changed here and the biggest reason I know is J. Clowney. I have rarely seen that dude enjoy football as much as he did this year. Optimist bully!

I am 100% confident in Canales. That doesn’t mean if he stinks it up next year somehow I will stubbornly stick to my guns, but he helped Bryce become a solid starting QB. He’s a miracle worker as far as I’m concerned. 

He somehow got Young to finally believe in himself. The kid has always been able to play like this. It was when he came here that things went off the rails. Dave somehow got Bryce to forget all of that and be who he is with some minor adjustments here and there.

There's a couple little pussies on here that constantly bitch because he is Christian that will tell you they don't approve but those opinions are from pussies and in my own little mind pussies don't deserve a voice or opinion anyhow. Me being of no faith at all and hoping not as big a pussy as those other two wimps so coming from a purely unbiased place..... I would give Canales a 6-7 on a 1-10 scale. He needs to work on a few things such as I believe hire a coordinator that he can trust to call plays for him so he just leads and some other items. I do have confidence in him that he can turn out to be a good coach. He isn't as fuging dumb as Matt Rhule or throw others under the bus as Matt Rhule likes to do so he does have my respect there. He has some sort of emotions and doesn't look like a corpse out there as Reich did so there's that too but I guess my standards are very low these days. The mother fuger can go to church all he wants or not, I don't really give a damn as long as he steadily improves this team. He has partially improved Bryce to where I believe he deserves another year to see if he can continue to grow and I didn't think anyone could help Bryce so that's a positive too I guess. He has hope which I guess is what im getting at.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
