This is actually a really wise move.

Now let's see how serious the Panthers are about the QB room.

Wise move: yeah. And unexpected. It was hard to see how to navigate the situation to where If they feel like Canales should be relieved of the play calling burden they have a legit person to give it to. Because to this point, they didn’t. 
And they did it without firing Idzik. Who is from a football family background and probably has potential - he just isn’t there yet for the play calling trust. 
Both the HC and the OC can lean on this man, who has been an interim HC twice himself and a SB OC. It checks a lot of boxes on the surface. 
 

And another set of qualified eyes, with an unbiased outside perspective, evaluating the QB situation seems like a good thing as well.

Well, they now have a person they could credibly reassign play calling to, if it becomes an issue that rises to the level where that type of move is being called for.

 

He is the guy that called the Malcom Butler pass play at the goal line in the SB. Which will live in infamy. 

That's the first thing I think of when I see Bevell's name.....kinda like Chris Webber and timeouts. 

I thought he was a decent OC previously and he was up for the Jets OC. Seeing who they went with instead of Bevell is concerning. He, Dave and Dan go way back to Seattle days so there's alignment there, as we know this franchise embodies. 

Looking back at Idzik, I do wonder if maybe 2026 is a year where he maybe transitions out from under Dave's wing. I thought they went farther back than 2019. Not that seven years is nothing in coaching, but maybe Dan and Dave want Bevell or someone with more expreience at Dave's side as we begin to make our move from cellar dwellers to NFC royalty.

Well from a game management and play calling perspective it has been painfully obvious Cannales wasn't able to do both at an even average level.

 

It was a least 4-6 times this season at the end of halves or games we would have 3 time outs and not use any after short gains and end up running out of time to even run more plays because they burned off 20 seconds on a three yard play didnt call timeout.

I am not all knowing for sure but I don’t see how Idzik advances professionally without being a legit OC and handling the entirety of the job description.  Which he lacks to this point. And can’t get with Bevell in the mix, I don’t believe.  
He may have to look elsewhere for a path to advancement.

Yeah there is a lot of slack that if tightened up would possibly get us up a level.

Just getting us out of suffering from the obvious oversights, could make a game or difference in the end.

This ^^^^ heck just at the end of the rams game using some of those time outs instead of burning a minute trying to get the call in could have been huge.

Knowing that many Panthers fans are confused to his role here, I wonder if he goes back to Stanford or WF in some capacity. Seems more his speed than the NFL.

Been more than one example of that too. 
And the calls that went in for those last 4 plays… that happened once before last year too. I want to say one of those Saints games but it might have been early on with the comeback falling short vs Az. I could swear we have seen that before. 
 

You know, thinking about it, and where Canales is in his development, the best thing might be to get a proven guy upstairs and have him call the plays while Canales focuses of getting the other parts of his job working right and being more comfortable where some things become second nature. 
 

If we had a good couple of year run like that the OC could probably leave for a promotion and Canales might be in a better position to handle it. 
 

I am 50/50 on Canales, maybe 60/40. It seems to me that you lose something not seeing the field as well as you do from upstairs. And you can’t HC from upstairs.

Carolina Panthers Primary LogoCARCoaching Staff

Panthers hired former Dolphins quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell as the team’s associate head coach.
Bevell will operate as the Panthers’ new offensive specialist, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Bevell, who was the pass game coordinator and QBs coach in Miami from 2022 to 2025, will reunite with Panthers head coach Dave Canales, the wide receivers coach for the Seahawks when Bevell was the team’s offensive coordinator. After bouncing around the league for the past 20 years, Bevell will look to maximize Bryce Young’s abilities in 2026 for a Carolina offense that last season ranked 26th in EPA per play and 18th in success rate.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Uh... Bryce Young extension? This shouldn't even be remotely on the table right now.  Hell, the Texans haven't even engaged Stroud in an extension discussion yet and he's played miles better than Bryce has during their careers so far. I swear, he's going to show the bare minimum of improvement this year, the front office is going to say it's showing he's still getting better, and going to sign him to a stupidly large extension that is only going to set us back another 5+ years when he never even approaches being an above average QB and we have to replace him a few more years down the line.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I'm calling shenanigans on this. I get why people want this to be true but the truth is plainly right in front of us. Scott Fitterer was a god awful GM but at the end of the day the same guy that hired him gave Matt Rhule generational wealth because his wife made some tasty meatballs. The whole trade up to #1 reeked of David Tepper's desperation and his need to be in the headlines. He had mentioned that he spoke to Bryce months before the draft and directly intimated that he would like Bryce to be a Panther. And who was it that held a press conference where he did virtually 98% of the talking after firing Reich? I legitimately don't understand how one can come to a conclusion that the entire Bryce Young debacle was all Scott Fitterer. I mean one would have had to have recently had a stroke or some kind of brain injury to even begin to rationalize such. Not trying to be a dick but cmon.... If it was all Scott Fitterer then why did we spend two straight years after 2023 making absolutely no effort to bring in any competition in the QB room? Andy Dalton? Jack Plummer? And furthermore at the end of the day Dan Morgan is the GM because no other serious candidates were interested in the job. And why is that exactly? Hmmmmmm. And if Fitterer was the architect of the trade up and selection of Bryce Young and the Tepper's were just a couple of poor schlubs taken for a ride does hiring Scott Fitterer's right hand man and best friend sound like a well laid plan? None of this is even mentioning the fact that the 2024 draft was basically like Scott Fitterer never left. Yet people still aren't getting it? 🤨 This place is always amusing. That's what keeps bringing me back.

      Play him on his 5th year. See if he starts/repeats the success. If he does, great, no problem with an extension. Just no Daniel Jones 1 hit wonder contract please.
