You can't not be impressed with Canales so far. He has the energy and charisma in spades and he knows his stuff about the ins and outs of the game. Of course what we need to know is how he coaches on GameDays. That's only where it really matters. He has a tough job ahead of him. But if he can bring back a culture here that is not about accepting losing that's a start.

You know it's spot on. That's it? One pic on a treadmill one of him hanging out with Stroud and one working with an unknown coach? I'd like to see him trying to take Mingo under his wing considering they were drafted together and will grow together if this situation is somehow to be salvaged.

It's weird this is the end game for some of you. Like it's either you are totally in blind support or you're a traitor or something. Hey. That sounds a bit like the followers of a certain political candidate. Luckily it doesn't work that way. Generally players who are highly touted and drafted high especially at QB and first overall prove on the field why they were drafted there. Bryce Young has already received his early flowers before he even had to play a single snap in the NFL thanks to the hype from the media and Panthers fans here who bought it and jumped in head first. Some of you don't want him to face adversity or criticism for some reason. That's your prerogative but not how it's going to work for him. You can shout into the void at people you perceive to be critical of him as much as you'd like. He still has 17 matchups later this year with defenses who unlike some of you here won't be watching his 2023 gametape and thinking to themselves how bad they feel for him.

If one single workout session that was plastered all over social media well before training camp is your definition of your #1 pick digging deep to connect with his receivers and his teammates in general after hyping him up as Payton Manning on the leadership scale I guess more power to you. Some of us actually want to see it on the field. Results there said the guy looked like he had barely uttered two words to them outside of team activities. You don't like that being acknowledged. Too bad.

Thank goodness for Derrick Brown.

You think it's funny but the rest of us remember folks like you looking down on others telling people it's only preseason last year. Keep thinking you're so above it all though.

Didn't we proceed to play some of our worst football of the season following that game including one where our top pick threw two gut wrenching pick sixes to the same defender?

Talk that size bro mess to the defenses Bryce Young will be facing in 2024.

We got substantially worse and even ended up being shut out by the Jags missing their starting QB post Reich. Just saying.

6 yards per pass attempt in 2019 compared to Bryce Young at 5.5 and 62% completion to Bryce Young's 59.8 Doesn't seem that far off sadly.

Truth hurts as they say.

The tone of this discussion in the face of facts and actual truths is beginning to remind me of Kyle Allen. Hell at least he showed some flashes to justify the vehement defenses of him.

He received ROTY honors. He looked like he belonged at every level even before Auburn. You're diminishing him to prop up BY.

Cam was a fuging MVP lol Bryce Young put up one of the worst rookie season statlines ever. It's flat out disrespect to draw comparisons.

Scott Fitterer said this practically verbatim before the draft to justify the selection. But now it's apparently a wholly unreasonable and absurd expectation. The level of coddling is worse than with Darnold. And that's saying something.

If you check my post history you'll see that over the last few months I was hopeful he could at least turn the corner into a decent starter for the time being. But the early returns I'm seeing after hearing his "advisors" rejoicing on his behalf for what we spent on the OL after gutting the defense does not look any different than the same guy who hid at the combine when the lights were bright. I'm not going to bury my head in the sand on that.

Only here on the huddle has acknowledging reality become only negativity and or hate.

If he's had over 3 months to think about how his first stint as a professional athlete went despite all the hype that surrounded him initially after playing for Alabama I don't see much changing in another 3 months. Some people only know coping now. It's understandable given the history of our franchise. But that's still all it is.

Specifically the weight room. Not a controversial take.

It's still early no doubt. Right now it's a matter of optics. One of the worst rookie QB seasons of the last few decades. Coaches people in the front office fired. But looks like business as usual for the top overall selection who has always had the best available around him and people to build him up. We as fans can dismiss it. But you can bet your ass some of the teams on our upcoming schedule are taking note.

It's almost like people have forgotten Paradis. I'm in favor of adding some young talent to the Center position.

Don't waste a pick on a QB this year. The die has been cast. Roll with and save that for next season if it needs to happen.

His GM just got fired and he looks like he avoids the gym at all costs. Yet you're talking about manhood size? Who's really got a complex here?
