Is Canales digging his own grave?

Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young. 
 

It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it. 
 

After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

None of any of this makes sense ("this" being no clear-cut improvement after seven damned years). 

That being said, it would've made more sense, in my opinion, for Canales to say something to the effect that he'll have to watch the tape before any decisions are made regarding the QB position, if any. But, no, he basically said, with his chest, that Bryce is the QB. That changed within hours. I'm not saying that he was ordered to do it, but I'm 100 percent sure that something was said or suggested after he made such a definitive statement. 

Lastly, we're all speculating.

He should have said that. Watch the film.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
