The franchise needs to reboot and get back to their roots.

You gotta pinpoint the guy with the right DNA. 

For example, Steichen, McDonald and Ben Johnson are the types for various reasons that had some clear potential. All fan favorites for our HC job.

I think Canales has some of the HC gene, but I just don’t like the approach we’ve team building wise and he didn’t have a ton of experience. So I don’t know how he would be with a bit better talent. But I also haven’t been a fan of his offense thus far. A bit conflicted. 

The defense is not well constructed (has some promising parts) and the offense has zero identity (with McMillan being a start).

So it’s a bit muddy. I think worth seeing how he can rally these guys this season, but if that’s the case, you gotta increase his seat temp and give him the green light to bench/release and bring in who he wants to help improve. Then DT should analyze that the remainder of the season and make the call once it’s over.

If embarrassments like this become a trend, then it would be worth canning.

Yeah whatever we have been doing the last 7 years isn’t working. Go back to what worked before.

We need to get back to being mediocre (not sarcasm). Right now we are terrible, non-competitive, and can’t even attract decent free agents. On top of that, we are probably top 3 softest team in the league year after year. I would gladly take a retread DC guy to build the culture up and get us back to the middle of the pack at least. 
 

At least then we can attract decent talent and coaching candidates.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
