Word was they were pretty high on Callahan before the Titans got him. Hence why I fear we panicked here.

It also comes off as a "bidding against ourselves" sort of thing since no one else was pursuing him. There was no need to rush...but we did.

I hope it works, but it might be one of those cases of "more lucky than good".

Did they panic or was he already number one in their list?

The standard for Canales should be exactly as it was for Reich - steady and visible improvement thorughout the season with little to no regard for the overall record. If the team (players and staff alike) compete, grow, and show themselves to be strategically competent, then as long as they end 2024 playing much better football than they did at the start it's a positive season. If they don't then the leash should continue to be short, and if things carry along this same trend as this year we'll know that Tepper is an even more massive moron than he has appeared thus far.

Agreed. I’m not expecting many wins the next couple years but could we just see some improvement, please? How about seeing 2-3 starters from each draft with at least one being really solid and not feeling like the team is getting worse every year? It doesn’t seem like much to ask.

I’m just hoping we get back to Rhule/Hurney level where we weren’t good but at least we at least occasionally hung with playoff teams. Still hurts to think how bad Fitterer really was that Rhule/Hurney was a lot better than last year. Just get us there first, baby steps.

That tells you all you need to know about the search.   Getting a coach that wasn't down on Bryce and could fix him.   Whatever that means 

fug me if true. Welp, another 2 more wasted years before we find another QB, coach and GM.

Interesting, I've warmed up to him the past couple weeks. he definitely was not my first choice. My gut tells me that both Johnson and Slowik told us no thanks under the table and Tepper/Morgan just said fug it and went for Canales. 

That being said, can we please give this guy some grace to build our football team? We have our first round pick next year. Let this process play out for a bit instead of crucifying him when we don't have a good season next year (we likely won't no matter who was hired)

    • That doesn't sound like a theory rooted in the short term futures of their GM and HC. I doubt they survive to see the end of that plan.
    • The Raiders have already shown enough interest in Jeanty that anyone after 6 that wants him and would trade up for him, will already be calling the Jags for a trade anyways. The only thing them signaling interest in Jeanty could do if their interest was to trade back, would be to bluff the Raiders into making a swap with them to add draft assets while still drafting whoever they are actually targeting.
    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
