In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

His play calling is what got him his job, might as well fire him in that case..

Not necessarily, Dave's plays are actually pretty well designed hes just horrible at game flow when calling them.

That would require the Panthers to actually hire an OC, not Dave Canales' best friend 

He’s so much more than a best friend tho

So he’s Matt Nagy?

I don't think Dave hires an independent OC unless its mandated by Tepper.  And that's not happening after this past season.  If it happened it would probably go about as well as Rhule's rock star hire.

Ehh pretty much although I didnt watch much of nagy... 

 

I think maybe its calling plays and having overall responsibility is too much for him.

McDaniels is not coming here. He will probably get a HC job from another team

McDaniels ain't getting another HC gig for a long while.

If McDaniels decides to go the OC route then he'll join the Lions or some poo. Smart coaches aren't going to anchor themselves with Bryce

To that point, sometimes it seems like Canales is more throwing out sh¡t to see what sticks than actually responding to  and countering the defense. It's like playing checkers is his ceiling while most of the legit OCs are playing chess.

Even if that is the case, I'm pretty sure the last team he would pick to be OC for would be us...

I could see him going to the Seahawks if their OC is taken by another team for HC

Why? Charlotte would absolutely be an intriguing place to be an OC with its need for offensIve improvement, a young QB and two young receivers.

Why? Because we have a midget at QB that more times than not can't even throw the ball for 150 yards.

I'm pretty sure if it came down to a choice between being our OC or never coaching in the NFL again, McDaniel probably chooses the latter

[CPantherKing]

Tepper put many shackles on Dave. I am sure it is in his contract he has full control over play calling and the WRs. That's why you see XL getting featured less (3 targets if he is lucky). I am sure he would have benched Bryce longer and brought in a new QB while reducing Chuba's role even more if he could.

A big reason why our offense sucks is Dave Canales. It's pretty obvious that after Bryce's first playoff game that he has untapped upside, and that Canales generally can't maximize Bryce's or any other skill player's talent. It's just no longer apropos to treat Bryce like low hanging fruit for all of the offense's woes.  At the end of the day, it's an OC's job to maximize the offense, "midget at QB" or not.
