Inherited a 2 win team missing draft capital from a dumb trade.  Turned them into a 5 win team followed by an 8 win team and made the playoffs.  I think Canales should be fine as we overachieved last year.  If we have a bad year this year I think he goes into next season on the hot seat, but to me his 3rd year should be safe unless it just completely derails.  

It gets complicated we you look at replacing Bryce next year.  Do you let a coach on the hot seat make that call?  I also think you should let him have a chance with a QB he picks as well so yeah it's a little complicated...

And then what?  3 more years to develop said qb ?

Doesn’t have to be a player they draft in 2027.  Could be someone that gets put on the roster this year.  Whether later round or a reclamation project, current backup. A 2027 FA even.  
 

I just mean, it wouldn’t have to be a three year proposition.

considering [Dave] Canales enters Year 3 working for an impulsive owner. 

 

Is he really though?

Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted.

Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been.

Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call.

Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester. 

That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.
