I Know We Should Celebrate the Win. But Canales Is Pissing Me The fug Off

Chuba is a good guy and well-liked in the locker room, I think that plays a big role in it.  It’s hard to take that guy’s job and give it to someone else, no matter the margin.  That being said, I’ve always felt Chuba has had his limitations, but he was a lone bright spot on the offense for a lot of years recently, so we rewarded him for it - both with playing time and a contract.  And I appreciate Chuba, but in now seeing him and Rico side by side, Chuba needs to only come in to provide Rico a breather.  Sure, Chuba may be having trouble getting back in the groove coming back from his injury, but he’s never really been a runner with a lot of suddenness.  But I feel like bigger than strengths or weaknesses, this feels like a case of “if you have 2 RBs, you have no RBs.”  Which is weird, bc historically it can work, but these guys don’t seem to complement each other very well.

Sometimes a guy is just feeling it, which Rico definitely has the past 2 weeks. It's not personal. It's about winning. Do what's best for the team to win. If that means Rico averaging near 5 yards a carry gets the bulk over Chuba's 2 YPC, so be it, because the long game is playoff hunt. Do what's necessary to win and make it easier on yourself doing it.

I think we are figuring out the new RB mix might take a few weeks. What Rico did past 2 weeks isn’t sustainable his body would break down getting 32 touches a game so I like using both a lot. That being said Rico seems clearly better and should be getting prob 65% of snaps. Chuba is a better pass protector tho

Canales kept calling play action and bootlegs when the jets had the sniffed out every single time. He’s one stubborn sob

Canlaes has a starting QB that is mediocre to average at best so he is limited and what he can call

Young is somewhat effective passing the ball when a strong running game is able to keep the defense honest. When he rolls out he's able to see the field a better and at times he's able to have some success in the passing game.

Young really isn't that good in any other situations. He can't play under center and turn his back to the defense like the other 98% of the QB's in the NFL. He too small to see over the lineman. And unlike small QBs like Doug Flutie and Kyler Murray he doesn't have cannon to launch the ball downfield.  

As one poster noted in another thread, when a QB can't threaten the defense at all 3 levels of defense you are limited to what you can call. 

I'd love to see what type of offense we'd have under Canales if he had Mayfield, Darnold, or Drake May under center.

Canales once again proves he isn’t capable of properly evaluating the actual talent he does have on this team 

Mays/Corbett

cutting Coker 

Legette and all the BS plays he draws up for him 

Coker was cut?

They feel hubard is better receiving out of the backfield which he probably is, and that's really important when half of your QBs throws don't pass the LOS.

This a false, Bryce is actually good when we go 11 personal from gun but that’s not Canales MO. And he can play under center considering that what he’s been running this season.

And Canales had Baker with Evans and Godwin and they finished 20th in scoring and got better once he left

Last year he didn’t make the 53 coming out of camp. They waived him and could’ve lost him but got lucky and were able to put him on the PS 

I believe Chuba is better in pass pro but anything catching related not a chance. No chance Chuba catches that ball Dowdle turned into a TD last week

    • Ehhhh I hate 3 out of the four but harbor special hatred for the two afc squads 
    • If you want to say DJ ran a lazy route, fine. But that throw was garbage. There was a window just outside the hash marks but that ball was thrown damn near to the sideline. I don't know what route DJ was supposed to run but if you're Ben Johnson you also have to know your QB in this situation. Williams is a gunslinger at heart and any points on this drive wins you the game. You gotta protect him from himself and be methodical. Draw up a deep shot and he's probably gonna uncork that thing whether it's there or not. There's also the reality that DJ might have been concussed. He took a hard hit on the sidelines earlier and spent several minutes in the tent and just never looked the same in that game after that. I put some blame all the way around on this one. DJ didn't run the greatest route and seemed to not be expecting the ball. Williams through a bad ball and tool an unwise risk at that point in the game. And Johnson set himself up to get show in his own foot by his gunslinger.
    • Statistically, Bryce should NOT be a starting QB, and the consistency shows that. He shows up against favorable secondaries, and disappears against good ones. Hopefully now the team is focused on giving him better receivers and the receivers will win games on their own, ala Steve Smith type receivers, and he won’t be as big of a liability. That’s asking a lot for a #1 overall pick QB to need that of course. Whe we just had a QB before Bryce that took teams to the playoffs with Brenton Bersin and Kaylin Clay as his top receivers
