I shame my masculinity making fashion comments, but if the hat were blue and the logo white I’d probably like it. Hard with the panther being black. We could claim it’s an albino Panther.

Fine line they walk, not good enough to create controversy, but able to play. With the bar set so low on the high side, not much room there.

Ever been kicked in the balls?

I went to the team site.

I think the answer might be in the division of the staff that we heard about. (Then you have the OC, which he didn’t pick. ) Or it may be that he would rather have been fired than have to deal with what they handed him at QB, he probably couldn’t see the way forward with BY9. (It surely did not look like he did.) It may be Tepper’s temper which is certainly an ingredient to be considered in any analysis.

Thanks. I am not sure how it is a conspiracy though. For discussion’s sake I might argue the conspiracy was on the pro Bryce side, making sure that they got their man no matter the opposition. Now, the speculation because we have no confirmation, I would add this to consider: I don’t remember the financial terms (multiple millions no doubt), but after being fired in Indy, landing this job and being given 1st pick in the draft to get your QB would have him smiling ear to ear. So why wasn’t he? I think we can infer he felt undermined. Or whatever better suited word might apply.

I don’t know about Canales, but it has been my impression that they do not want clear competition for QB1. So if for some reason he looks good, I think he will be somewhere else before long. Which, I am fine with in the sense that we have a staff that is supposed to be good with QBs I’ve fantasized about becoming a QB mill and turning them into assets. Ala the Pats 10 years ago. We’ll have to have our sure starter for that to really work.

It sure does. One thing I’ll be liking is being able to at least see what is happening. All this camp Twitter video does nothing for me. I can’t see much worth looking at; it’s crap angles from a distance.

I saw a little of him, and don’t have any real expectations. But were he to shine he would not be a nobody to some people.

Wow. What a list. I think this might mean it really has all been about evaluation for the depth of the roster.

It won’t be the last red flag. The other guys giving red flags, had HC experience and Canales has never been a coach at any kind of big operation. I’m giving him a no penalty learning year, he gets his trial next season.

Excellent perspective. Without looking I am gonna guesstimate that he ran into 25% of those 62 sacks. Looking at the times they were hit shows Young the fewest, and both vets took substantially more hits. That tells me to look at how quickly they bail and throw OB. Which, throwaways are a good play just like a punt, at the right time. Too many of the former leads to too many of the latter.

Actually I think he CAN help himself going 8 for whatever for low yards, if he looks good doing it. No picks, smart decisions, good ball placement and velocity... people that know will see.

Top o the waiver wire is good, Do it again.

Well I will watch but it will be a replay where I can FF and RW if something warrants. Probably the fuging worst QB in the probably least productive offense, I am sorry. They were just no fun to watch. They’ll have to earn any real time appoint type of viewing.

I looked it up last week. I found that fixed waiver position ends 1 day after Week 3 games. I guess there is a time period for waiver claims after play is completed for that week and then the new week starts.

If Walter Young had been a center....

I don’t think he has it, but he will be easy to root for. And even though I would welcome someone being allowed to try and beat Young out, I’m talking about just generally rooting for a long shot JAG.

Shock the world. Well, shock whoever is watching the Thursday night locally aired preseason Toilet Bowl.

Hmm, bad football or something worse than bad football? Neither.

Maybe this is purge year, he can expose who needs exposing. I mean, some people won’t take your word for it, you have to show them.

He does some unorthodox OL stuff I guess you could say. He reshuffled Tampa’s OL last year I think I saw. Haven’t spent much time pondering the effect of that here, but playing Zavala in a game that matters? I am afraid to do it.

Ha ha. We understand fully how in the league he is. It’s sort of like an internet hookup that you haven’t see in person. We expect her to not look like her picture but we don’t really know until we see her.

If it works out it will be “Canales is really smart”. If it doesn’t it will be “Canales is Reich 2.0, refuses to adapt his system to his quarterback.”.

people are afraid he gets hurt before establishing enough to inform a good decision about his future, and we have to deal with another year of limbo.
