Dave Canales, previously with Tampa, is now the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. He had a positive impact on Baker Mayfield's performance, improving his speed and reducing sack rates. Canales is expected to do the same for Bryce Young in Carolina. This move marks the 14th different offensive coordinator for Mayfield in his NFL career. The success of Canales in Carolina will reflect on the Panthers' decision and David Tepper's leadership. The timing of Mike Vrabel's interview and news of Canales' hiring are also discussed.
Dave Canales has one job: Get Bryce Young back on track. If he's successful, Panthers look smart. If not, David Tepper gets blasted for hiring Dan Morgan's pal. (Also: details about timing of Mike Vrabel's interview/news of Canales hiring.) https://t.co/TkbVfBbrMc
With @JennyDell_ on @CBSSportsHQ: What Dave Canales did for Baker Mayfield and what he has to do now for Bryce Young in Carolina https://t.co/CrW4P8JnRP
Dave Canales to the Panthers: Good for Bryce, bad for Baker. Now what will it be for Baker, his 14th different offensive coordinator in his NFL career? Just when he was settling in after a career year in Tampa ...
One thing I thought Dave Canales did really well in Tampa: Got Baker Mayfield to play *faster.* Averaged the lowest time to throw of his career, and lowest sack rate since 2018. Will be important for Bryce Young.
Dave Canales got career years out of both Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, is Bryce Young next? https://t.co/IfynWZ0j4k
