Dave Canalas is a bum

[frankw]

In all seriousness. He isn't a bum. But he got worked by Bowles today. And that's with what was actually a pretty good day by our defense.

hes doing what everyone wants him to do while at the same time growing this team.  Tank. Carolina is not going to the playoffs this year. 

Do you think he would have abandoned the run if Carolina had been a better team? The Bucs had one of the worst run offenses last year. I am beginning to think it wasn't because the RBs were bad but because Canales just doesn't see them as the focal point of his offense. Canales wants to pass. Problem is I think Young would be better, much better in a run first offense. I imagine the perfect offense would be like the one the Chargers have.

You people are idiots. Dave made a few rookie mistakes, but he's far from a bum. Yall need to replay the last 5 years of play calling and then tell me DC is a bum. 

 

Last 15* years of coaching

The Panthers are miserable therefore this place is miserable. Worst winning/loss record in all 4 major professional sports leagues in the last 5+ years.

We are a much better team under the current administration. Not gonna happen overnight or even one season. But from game one to now much improved!

Canales coached like all the rest of the coaches we've ever had. Scared to take a chance. 

Ron finally learned to riverboat.. Hopefully canales can too

[Moonraker]

Definitely would have liked to mix it up more but we missed kicks, fumbled in FG range in OT...his play calls put us in position to score enough points to win and we didn't get it done. I think the ceiling for the team is high with him.

The offense is improving. DC/Bryce are taking what the defense is giving them. Teams are stacking up against the run on early downs because we were running it so well earlier in the season.

I’m not overly concerned if a rookie head coach makes some fixable time management or play-calling mistakes in his first year, especially on a team that was already destined for the bottom of the standings. Those issues are fixable, and I’ll only start worrying if they become a consistent problem in years 2 or 3.

 

What matters to me is how the team has progressed from the start of the season to now. From what I’ve seen, after being benched earlier, our undersized QB has steadily improved week by week, even managing to make games competitive despite the team’s flaws. The coaching staff, led by Dave Canales, has taken what seemed like a long-shot rookie and helped him develop into at least a serviceable quarterback, with the potential to become our long-term QB1.

 

This season, all I wanted to see was improvement and evidence that Canales has a plan that works—and so far, that’s exactly what we’re getting. The team has shown consistent progress as the season winds down, and on top of that, we’re likely securing a good draft position without needing to reach for another rookie QB.

 

Canales’ development of this team has been top-notch. That’s what I care about most, and he deserves credit for it. Now, if he uses the offseason to refine his game-day management, we’ll be in great shape moving forward.

Can you blame Canales for the refs rigging the game before halftime? Can you blame him for Eddie being a loser? Can you blame him for Chubba fumbling the ball?

[Panthering]

Canales is very far down the list of reasons we lost this game. Players let him down today for the most part. 

[outlaw4]

He's working with what he has which isn't a lot.

But I'm personally not liking the pass/run ratio.

He has Bryce playing better and our team as a whole is playing much more competitive. I have no complaints so far.

Sign chubba. Draft brooks. Don’t utilize them.

 

the game turned once the bucs started utilizing the run. Wish we’d have done the same, but it was a game we could have won with better execution
