Canales' O - Year 2

[DeAngelo Beason]

It's almost like a 5'8" midget with a wet noodle for an arm at QB is a liability for an offense.  It's absolutely ridiculous that people are trying to judge the offense's performance with this bum.  I've said it before and I'll say it again... all we have done is surround Bryce Young with some of the greatest QB developers the game has ever seen, and none of them can fix him, because there's nothing to fix.  He simply doesn't have the talent to play at the professional level.

I won't blame him much for the lack of pass game, but it is frustrating how easy it is to get him to stop running the ball.

For example, last week, how did Dowdle and Hubbard finish with 7 and 5 rush attempts respectively?  That is simply unacceptable in a game where the Bucs only scored 16 points.

And a flea flicker in the redzone?  Damn near unforgiveable.  And the fact he defended the call after the fact alarms the hell out of me.

Its so weird to me that people dont understand that we are over achieving as far as overall roster talent goes.

I will never understand how the people who every post they make bash Bryce Young also want to bash Canales.  If Bryce doesnt deserve to be in the league then the coach deserves crazy for producing a basically 500 team and making the playoffs.  Or vice versa, but blindly hating both at all times is a weird take.

we 10000% are overachieving this season.   No doubt about that.  Something to keep in mind if that first place schedule actually holds up to be a tougher one.   Ball has bounced our way despite every game day thread being the NFL IS RIGGED AGAINST US rhetoric.   

You can take a 6ish win team and have the ball go your way and get 8 or against you and finish with 4.   It's all a range the same caliber team can find itself in.

the board doesn't really contain a heavy % of folks that are very critical of Canales AND Bryce to the same degree. 

you got a lot folks (often those very critical of Byrce)that think Canales is largely making lemonade out of lemons the best he can.   I mean, Canales is a very green HC and playcaller so he is going to get some basic criticism all young folks get as they learn.

God forbid we interview mike macdonald or Mike Vrabel

I truly think we *had* to hire a Canales. Nobody except a nobody wanted this job after the way things unfolded since Tepper took over. 

I'd have offered Vrabel a blank check and said congrats, you'll stay the highest paid coach in NFL every year. But I still don't think he would've taken it with the stank we had/have on this franchise.

While I do agree with most of this, and that Canales got the job because he said yes and that he would work to turn Young around, it wasn't a case of him being the absolutely only 1 for the job.

Jim Harbaugh supposedly reached out about the job opening but it never went anywhere. Everyone can speculate why, but it certainly might have been a little bit about keeping Young in place.

I think the speculation has traction. Harbaugh would have wanted to evaluate Young and bring in a QB if he felt Young wasn't the guy. With the way Bryce has been shielded from any real adversity in the QB room the past 2 years, it's pretty obvious he's been protected, handed the starting role, whatever you want to call it. Dalton was obviously washed up after last year, but we signed him to a 2 year contract. Head scratcher #1. Plummer was so bad in camp last year many of us were throwing fits about why he even had a number but he was brought back again as our #3. Head scratcher #2. Neither one makes any sense unless Bryce being "the guy" was part of the HC job requirements.

Evero was kept around because the job is career suicide and he was already under contract. 

"under contract" just means "pay the man". Doesn't require you to have them work

True, Harbaugh would've been awesome if those reports are true. But, Tepper.
