How do we feel about Canales

[Martin]

He got the HC role 1-2 years too early, but that is what you have to do when a team is as bad as ours. That said, I like him benching Young, not being afraid playing young guys, some really good playcalling (ups and downs are expected for a young coach). 

I think he can become a good one, he seems smart, he’s a strong communicator etc. he just needs some time to settle in and gain experience, as well as updating the roster to fit what he’s looking for.

Give DC at least 5 years with us

We need stability in the coaching ranks

Should be 1 and done but who knows

It’s going to be hard to assess him this year with so many injuries, going to have to give him a couple years to find out. Definitely didn’t like his play calling last week. I think you gotta give the guy a shot. It’s gonna be on the job training though.

He is an offensive coach/QB guru…

I think the D can suck, we lose games we should still be able to judge him.  AT missing games shouldn’t matter at all IMO.  

if all that works is Dalton, Dionte and Chubba….we should let Tepper do Tepper things IMO

 

[Panthro]

I’m fine with him

[PleaseCutStewart]

Personally, I would look more to how he improves year 2 vs this year. I think he has been fine so far, considering our defense is ass and we have a crap ton of injuries 

[Waldo]

So far meh. He isn't a bad playcaller and he isn't good. His play designs can be effective and at other times it's a deadend play that should be scrapped. He still comes off to me as a decent OC who would do better with a HC that makes him go agaisnt his usual more often.

As a HC he looks really inexperienced. I loved Byce being sat but I have no confirmation of the actual details. I think hebcould also do better with a better GM vs his friend. He just comes of as a new guy that needs an old hand to know when to say no or change it up to me.

He's not taking the reigns of the whole team. He's got tunnel vision for the offense.

You look at a team like the Texans with Ryans and DeMeco's personality stamp is all over the roster on both sides of the ball.

I do not see anything like that on this Panthers team. In fact in a lot of ways particularly developmentally there is nothing whatsoever that sets this coaching staff apart from any of the others we've shitcanned the last few years.

You have to let him have 3 years. Let him pick his own QB

[CamWhoaaCam]

Honestly?

 

I love the guy. Sure we aren't winning games, but that's more of a talent problem. He's made this offense look MILES better than it did under Frank and Rhule and he's doing it with a bridge QB.

 

Also he's handsome, young, and fit.

So far his biggest value to me was he got Bryce benched so we could see something somewhat resembling NFL offensive football. For Tepper it seems like if he can't fix Bryce Young and if he isn't a play calling genius he's a bit expendable. I'd give him another year with his own QB to be fair

agree, but that only works if you actually got a solid HC

5 years is also an eternity in todays NFL.  You got to earn those years at the same time

Overall I like what I’m seeing. There’s been some bad playcalling at times, especially last week, but as a HC I like him so far. His willingness to stay aggressive before halves is a refreshing thing to see. Being willing to move on from Young was a huge plus for him too.
