I was always more Bryce is the problem vs Canales.

But after this seasons ups and downs, incosistency on both Offense and Defense, showing up against teams that should blow us out and looking past teams we should beat I am starting to say Canales is more of the problem than Bryce.

I am still not ready to pull the trigger on it, but how else can you have games like today or games like last years against the Chiefs and Eagles but then lose to the damn Saints. Thats coaching

I think Canales is still learning and growing as a coach. I mean he was only an offensive coordinator for 1 year and now a head coach for 1.5 years here. He's still green but I do think he is genuinely learning from his mistakes and making adjustments. Last week, I think he got complacent at Dowdle's run game dominance and our presumed talent level advantage over the Saints and called a super vanilla game that got exploited. And once it was clear we'd have to throw to win, the Saints could switch to a heavy pass rushing scheme and make Bryce uncomfortable on each dropback.

This time Canales played on the offensive and realized teams are going to sell out to stop the run and he let Bryce air it out. Overall was a great gameplan.

    • The irony is the vast majority of this board are long-suffering Panthers fans.  It is inherent in the nature of it being a message board.  We are a prehistoric relic of glory days past.  The new fans are all on Reddit, discord, and all that other poo.
    • Again, it’s not about that single play.  Me saying that defines his era is reflective of 2.5 years of work.  Yes, Zavala played a big part in that failure of a play, but as the commentators mentioned, Bryce also has to get tf back as soon as he snaps it.  He has always had more issues operating from under center as well.  That all ties in to the fact that for over 2.5 years, he has these inexplicable plays that you never see happen anywhere else.  I’ve been on this Earth four decades and watching or playing football for three of them, and I do not recall ever seeing that happen before.  Have I seen someone fumble the snap in 4th?  Yes.  Have I seen someone try to escape pressure after getting the snap and falling over or flailing around until they were sacked?  Sure.  Throw a pick?  Yes.  Fumble after getting the snap?  Yes.  Lots of bad things can and have happened.  Not even getting out from under the center, falling on your back, then looking like you can’t figure out how to get up until you’re touched down?  Never.  So even when other players are involved in the fug ups since Bryce has been the QB, the point is, it’s some intangible quality that is present with him at QB.  Things happen that shouldn’t happen.  Inexplicable fug ups are the norm. And again, I I fully considered we had 3+ mins and the defense was playing well when I posted it.  I even believed the with the way Bryce was playing outside of the 4th down flubs, that it was likely we could win…  and I am ecstatic we won.  But again, the point of this thread is the play was representative of a much bigger and persistent problem.  Look how great we felt after getting over .500 and then had a gimme win at home against a fuging 1-8 team.  Bryce comes out and doesn’t even show up while getting outplayed by several magnitudes against a 27 year old 2nd round pick in his second start.  That is fuging inexplicable and should never fuging happen.  Brian St. Pierre would’ve looked like fuging Joe Montana in that scenario.  Dameyune Craig would’ve looked like Mahomes.  But it was likely Bryce didn’t even show up.  That’s where this thread comes from.  As good as winning today feels, do I trust him to come back out and do it again next week, or ever again?  Absolutely not.  And that’s the problem.
    • He threw long most of his college career.  He is a superb deep ball passer.
