Canales handing over playcalling duties

We have a QB that is standing on his tip toes trying to see the field, that couldn’t possibly be affecting anything, right? 

Maybe the equipment guys can put some cleats on the bottom of these bad boys

If only. 
 

I was thinking a little platform for him to stand on could help. We could drag it around the field and put him on it in the gun. Little mini drum riser.

Handing off play calling is good.  Handing it off to his buddy, I'm not so sure of.  But here we are, hope it works.

Kaye’s Take: In the rush to blame one or the other, I think the missing thought for most is that maybe it’s BOTH Dave Canales and Bryce Young who aren’t performing consistently well as a tandem partnership together.

When it’s great (ATL/DAL), it’s great, but it’s rarely great. Typically, it’s bad (SF/NE/NO) or fine (MIA/NYJ/ATL WK3).

If you’re management or ownership, I’m not sure how you can watch these first 12 games and say this is a sustainable workflow. Sure, they’ll probably go and have another big one in the next five games but that’s a 20% firework, not a rocket ship.

The #Panthers are a 6-6 slinky of a team because consistency can’t be forged when chemistry is fleeting and fledging.

One way or another, there needs to be changes to offensive infrastructure (fwiw that’s life in an NFL offseason anyway). Even if a playoff run happens, the whole point of this slower, thoughtful process (which does have merit) is to not overachieve, accept, and then sink.

The team has done a lot of things well behind the scenes and they have generally improved in a lot of areas on the field (defense - talent and coaching, development, rookie class, etc), but you can’t just put your head in the sand

Update: They didn’t stay static with offensive process even with a playoff berth.

I am not saying you are right or even wrong I just think its an odd set up and I cannot recall anything similar in the nfl.  I am sure there has been something like this but its certainly not common.

Yeah the Bevell thing is weird but it’s nice to have his experience for our younger offensive staff. I’m just glad DC isn’t calling plays because that was a lot for him at this point in his career and he wasn’t that good at it honestly. 

[Candler Cat]

A sure sign we're tanking for the '27 QB class

[ProcessBlue2]

I think it’s clear that Canales is doing a few things here:

1) Backing off from Bryce. Less accountability if there is regression.

2) Putting Bevell in place behind Idzik so he can spend more time with Evero. 
 

The second one is important because Capers isn’t there anymore, Evero has to stand on his own and Canales has no excuse not to evaluate him. If Defense struggles, Canales has to pull the plug. And put Wash or somebody in.

If Bryce Young can start throwing rainbows like vintage Russell Wilson did under Bevell and Canales I don’t give a sh*t who calls the plays

God I hated those fuging chuck ups so much. Should have been interceptions but consistently caught by his wr. The horseshoe was so deep up that cucks ass it was infuriating.

[VintagePanther]

Canales should only call 4th down attempts lol we actually faired well in my opinion on crucial 4th downs last year 

[PadresPanthersFan]

This is good on many accounts. We've talked about his game management skills and being overwhelmed trying to do too much. 

We've talked about his inconsistent offense and how maybe it would be better if someone else was the oc. 

We also saw how bad idziks offense was in the preseason. 

This move along with bevels hire addresses all of this. 

They know they can't back into the playoffs with a losing record again. They are actively trying to improve. 

Will it work? TBD. But they are definitely trying and seem to have a plan

You need a canon of an arm to do that so it won’t happen.
