Canales and Young

[DaveThePanther2008]

The best thing about these two, as long as they are together, is the offensive philosophy stays the same. Young is only going to get better and better if Canales continues to evolve as a head coach. We've seen several QBs degress when the OC/Play caller moves on to a new team. 

Brady had one head coach and had his system so down pat that Brady probably was thinking just like Bilichick. 

If we build around Young and Canales grows as a HC we might actually keep an offensive head coach longer than 2 years.

Don't forget that Dave will continue to evolve as a playcaller, now that the trust has actually been established with Bryce. The ceiling is the roof.

If Bryce gets some continuity with Dave over the next few years, I think he can approach his ceiling as a Drew Brees type. Brees got the ball out quick and had elite accuracy. Bryce has that capability. He made great strides this year, and finding his comfort zone is going to enable the fast processing he was known for coming into the NFL. 
 

It’s nice to feel like we have a head coach who can get the most out of their players for a change.

This is a fair point. I'm glad Canales is also adaptable in his decision-making. Miles Sanders convinced him to run the ball on first and goal against Atlanta, and it resulted in the walk-off TD. If it's a pass, sure, there's every chance Young ends up running it in -- but there's also the greater possibility of a holding penalty or a turnover.

It wasn't a smart call at first, but his relenting was wise and it showed a quality few NFL coaches have: the willingness to consider their first opinion isn't the gospel.

Sanders just wanted the TD, a run play on first and goal from the 1 is never a bad call. 

I do like what Canales was able to do with Young though, he was just a few games from being gone and he completely turned him around.
