This team is 5-4 with two winnable games ahead and then play San Fran on Monday night football. I'm just going to enjoy the next three weeks and not analyze how or why this team is 5-4.
Unless the Panthers implode the rest of the season, Canales will be back next year and probably Evero as well. Morgan needs to have another draft like last year and then the Panthers will have enough talent where Canales' coaching deficiencies will likely be exposed. Or maybe he learns and improves as a coach and the Panthers are a legitimate football team with playoff aspirations.
If this was the plan, Canales failed miserably. I can't imagine watching Dalton in practice and thinking he can win an NFL game, but maybe he's a good practice player.
I wasn't a fan of the Canales hire, but the Panthers didn't exactly have people lining up to coach this dumpster fire under Tepper. I think Canales is doing a decent job with a talent depleted roster and not much cap room. It is pretty crazy how many rookies and 2nd year players that have key roles with this team.
I think it is as simple as Bryce feels better than expected and could play if he needed to. Canales is being coy so the Bills have to prepare for two QBs and I like the gamesmanship. No way that Bryce plays unless he practices.
I wouldn't call Dallas a crappy team and most of us Panthers fans have been on life support for a long time and I'm trying to somewhat enjoy not being the laughing stock of the sports world.
You might not agree with it, but this is the reality. If Chuba doesn't out play Rico this weekend, I suspect that Rico will be starting the following week.
