Is Canales digging his own grave?


Recommended Posts

As a coach, your first year you’re green. 

Second year….still green, but a different kind of green. 

third year depends on the record. Not doing well? Green still. Gotta be patient. Doing well? Seasoned vet deserving of extension. 

also you have to have an emotional connection to the coach for unrelated reasons.

I am not sure if you are aware but it did take Jay Z seven years to make it.

Jus' sayin'.

I believe the quote was "It took Jay Z seven years to be an overnight success".  Which I like quite a bit more.  It's subtle but it implies you should expect no improvement until year 7 is complete.

That is even better. 

A moment that will go down in Panthers lore. What a guy.

yall in here talking crazy about Canales, like the Panthers aint 4-4. they didn't win their 4th game till week 16 last year. he is about as safe as a coach can be in the NFL. you ask for progress and competitiveness that's what this looks like  

When folks predicted a 6 win season for him…..the wins were early in the schedule and exactly here we got them.  So where they came doesn’t hold crazy weight 

describe the Panthers offense in one word to for the collective 6 games Rico Dowdle didn’t start and have anomaly production in……anything that isn’t a adjective for bad would by lying.    

we have gotten the doors blown off off us by every actual good team. 

also you can win less games one season to another and actually be getting better and vice versa.   The eyeball test says Canales isn’t getting better.  Technically our D is better this year but that is more a default given we were historically bad last year

That must have absolutely crushed high school recruits back in 2017.

I got it slightly wrong.  It’s even better in totality.

 

I believe it's 1,000 percent working. I just know no one can see it, and I apologize. As I tell our team all the time, it took Jay-Z like seven years. He had to start his own agency to become famous, to become an overnight sensation. It takes time."

    • This is where we begin our "slide" similar to Matt Rhule's 2nd season Panthers L 35-9
    • Everyone is seeing it now, but nobody wanted to listen to me when I was saying all these things for well over a year leading into this draft.  And it's not that it's sneaky speed, it's like I said, he's not a quick twitch guy that has super burst off the line, but once he gets going with those long strides, he really gets moving.  Everyone was so sacred about potential 40 times, he was never going to be that kind of guy to have a crazy fast time, but he has more than enough speed to be an elite WR in this league given everything else he brings to the table. Which is why using him on the underneath stuff isn't a bad strategy, he excelled on those in college since he's catching it in full stride and was good at getting YAC on those routes.  The problem is Canales' play design and calling, the great coaches run certain plays to set up later plays that get that player running wide open across the middle just 7 yards downfield, but with acres of space and at full stride, and Canales just doesn't have that in him. But also yes, we need to be throwing more jump balls to him when there's no safety help on the outside, it seems like Canales won't let Bryce check to it for some reason, as he never does. Yep, I saw AJ in him from the second he stepped foot onto the field as a Freshman, to me the closest direct comp. But in the pre-draft process I saw someone say he's a combo of Plaxico and V-Jax and I couldn't help but feel that was scary accurate.
    • appears so don’t see him on the bench either.
