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

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

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...

 

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

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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
