You said that when you made the point Canales is not the long term coach here. Am I missing something, that’s how you suggesting Canales will be gone after next season. Also using a complete hypothetical as an argument is utterly pointless, yeah if we win 5 games next season that would lower Canales long term coaching odds here. But, why would you assume a total regression this guy almost doubled our win totals from last season. Assuming a regression of 3 wins is a flawed argument.

Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

I believe it was the worst differential for a playoff team ever? Not sustainable. Also our division imploded, we wouldn't of made the playoffs in any other division. We need a 10+ win season next year or big changes need to be made.

I don't really agree with 10+ wins being necessary.  I just know what Tepper will likely do if we only win 4 or 5.  I think that's a lot more likely than 10+.  Canales is just too limited as the OC.

The only point I was making is that the next coach will come from a better pool than Canales did.  Because our team's reputation has been repaired by giving him a serious chance.

With more respect comes with expectations... which kind of scares me. This franchise has never handled that well - SI picking us as the SB champs for 2006 still haunts me.

But I'll take this over being utterly dog water.

It will be fine. Don't you worry. Just wait until we staff the left tackle spot with the bits and pieces we have lying around on the roster right now!

Point differential in 2024 was -193.  This year we improved to -70.

In 2025 Rams are +172 but we beat them once and barely lost to them in the playoffs.  Stats are facts but conclusions drawn from them are not.  You need context.  

Yes, we very much need to keep improving and will do just that as long as we don't listen to the Huddle and pull the plug in the middle of building something special.

We have a team that is tough as hell.  A QB, who despite his small size, stands tall in the face of pressure.  Physically and mentally.  You can see that leadership and environment that Canales is building.  

The front office is actually a unit.  The team has bought in completely.  The talent level has grown and improved.  We have a rich owner who is not afraid to spend money on the team.  We are a young team and have had to fight back from the worst years in franchise history.  

I'm damn proud of this team and the future is looking brighter and brighter.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
