J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

[HPPantherzfan]

I honestly believe that DC knows exactly what he is doing, he is exposing BY!  Proving to everyone that BY isn’t it.  I believe it is his mission before the end of this season to send Bryce out there, trying to light it up, just to fail so when they move on from him this offseason DC has no detractors, no locker room issues and most importantly no David Tepper issues.  Is it hurting us now?  Yes but Dave knows a little pain now is well worth the future without BY

I don’t think that.  
I might think that he is pushing Young to sink or swim. Rise to the challenge or don’t.

I could think that he believed Young was gonna kill it. 

Not sure what I think past if Young can’t do it we need to try someone else. And I don’t think he can do it.

Don't worry guys. We will Sunday. I'm guessing by 7 points.

Lol Rico isn't coming back regardless lol.

DC isn't a terrible HC but he also isn't good. He is a solid OC way over his head and another year isn't changing that IMO. 

I’m trying to figure out if he is a solid OC, his game plan and play calling suck, that’s what a good OC is supposed implement week in and week out. I’m just not seeing it.

I have eased up on this. He was incredibly stupid Monday. However I dont advocate firing. We cant keep doing that and expect better coaches.

He better have learned that obvious lesson 

It’ll be extremely hard to bring an elite coach into this dumpster fire, not to mention having to deal with the Teppers.  So yeah, fix the QB problem and then deal with coaching if need be.

I would agree but he has about a half capable QB to deal with. That offense has to be limited.  I can’t imagine what he had to pull off the table.  Just play action alone, big challenge.

Aiight Ima admit, I didn't watch the game...just tuned in every now n then... 

My biggest takeaway from that article: 

Rico only had 6 carries and Chubba 3 ?!?!? Please tell me that's a typo!!!! 9 carries for the night??... if so, that's a fireable offense. That's actually inexcusable.

Here's what really sucks.  I would bet almost bet to every man on this forum that if we went 7-10 or 8-9 they would have said it was a successful season.  Say we beat N.O. and TB gives us the last game of the season because they can't lose the division and won't play their top players.

We go 8-9.  Canales is a genius, and we are stuck with Young and Canales for another year.  Worst part is we only beat 1 quality team in GB minus TB who won't play their starters.

I've had enough of Canales's moronic game planning.  There is no excuse for the amount of carries this team had Sunday.  Yeah, it was fun to see Bryce have a career day against Atlanta. If you play sports long enough, you'll have a day where you couldn't do no wrong.  To game plan around the passing game was just plan moronic.   SF defense was mediocre at best, and we managed 1 TD and 1 FG.  WTF.

But watch and see.  We'll end up 7-10 or 8-9 and everyone is going to say we had a good year.  Canales and Young are back in the saddle in 2026.

He probably hasn't spoken to Rico because DC is dumb enough to not think he did anything wrong. Get ready for 60 pass attempts from Bryce next week where he goes 15/60 passing for 102 yards, 1 garbage time TD, and 4 INTs

I actually disagree. As many morons as the Huddle has, it's very hard to be as grossly incompetent as David Tepper has been.

I don't care if we fire Canales or not. He will get that accomplished himself soon enough without any Huddle input at all.

Its clear what they were trying to do.  You know how when a team gets exposed by another team and everyone is like well thats the blueprint to beating them.  The 49ers game before us they gave up an NFL record 47 completions to Jacoby Brissett of all people.  I assume they thought if Brissett could dink and dunk pick apart the 49ers then our qb definitely can.  Unfortunately they thought wrong on that part.

For all the Bryce apologists, the Canales apologists are almost worse.

The Panthers need a new Head Coach and a new Starting QB, in my opinion, anything less will just be spinning wheels, going nowhere.

Man I totally agree, half the playbook is gathering dust because of our QB, but we’re not using the proven weapons that we have, totally frustrating.

Yeah it is frustrating. We were signed up for this three years ago.

Waiting for Dave to run the ball 55 times right up the middle with the box loaded and then be at the press conference like “see it didn’t work”
