The Corral fan club here is greatly exaggerated. No one's saying crown the guy (maybe rippadonn, but I think he's just having fun with y'all now), we're responding to the fans who act like we've seen enough of him to draw conclusions already.

mitch has his eyes on the prize

These videos are great, thanks for sharing @TheSpecialJuan. Wish he had one for Anthony Richardson but I doubt we'll get that now. Bryce Young CJ Stroud Will Levis

I saw $10m somewhere that I've been running with. 5-8m on a one year I'd be good with.

If it wasn't clear enough already: we are tanking. Not throwing games but in the sense that we have no delusions about this roster winning anytime soon so we're just looking ahead. The guys that are pushing or over 30 don't fit into the timeline of this rebuild and weren't winning for us anyway. No one's giving up a first rounder for Mason Plumlee. He's balling out like never before and it's barely helping us. At least there's a chance that by 2028 we'll have a squad that can actually take advantage of that pick.

Yeah some revisionist history in this thread because I definitely remember size and character concerns being his main hang ups. He was viewed as like a poor man's Bryce Young.

That depends on what your expectations are for this bridge QB role. Darnold will probably win you a few more games than Minshew, but is that worth the added cost? We can get anyone to just keep the spot warm for a rookie. Paying Darnold a premium only makes sense if you think he can win now and become the franchise QB still, or maybe if it’s like a one deal while you try to find stability at the position.

Unless you think there's a chance he could take us deep into the playoffs in the short term there is no point in a bridge QB for us rn. If it's just about giving a rookie time on the bench to get ready then throw Corral out there in the interim. If we need a mentor and backup to keep the seat warmer there's cheaper options than Darnold.

He’s a 32 year old center on an expiring contract bro. You want to extend him??

They’re buying out his contract, so we got a second for Plumlee and Mark Williams is up.

At some point he got cautious about the injury risk and his attempts at mitigating it just made things worse. He was larger and more fearless in his early seasons and you have to be to pull off the kind of running he was doing. He was also never good at sliding. Just got smaller and more scared as time went on

Maybe the Reich era's different but this organization is too leaky to keep a move like this under wraps. There hasn't been a hint of us looking Bryce's way.

Jeremy Chinn era cometh

Fine with just going BPA at 9 but I don’t think it’s going to happen. I like next year’s QB class more and we’ll have less competition for them

Folks who like flats leave half the wing on the damn bone I don't trust y'all

Think we'll get more then Ron and Matt offered in their intros because of his experience

Chudzinski is a fraud and Cam's rookie numbers were despite him

You're absolutely right despite the morons pooing your post. National media only know the Panthers at surface level. If you don't follow in-depth enough to understand why Wilks had more to prove compared to other candidates racism is the only answer. Pundits follow this team mostly through bullet points and stats fed to them and this looks bad on paper. I also think sport media is using this situation to virtue signal on race relations without directly criticizing the league. They weren't nearly this self righteous about Kaepernick, or the NFL's cartoonishly racist "race-norming", and they weren't exactly supportive of the NBA players attempted boycott over race relations. But because Tepper is taking the heat on this and it doesn't put the honeypot at risk they're suddenly freedom fighters. Give me a fuging break.

And got torched when his defensive background was needed the most

I like that he's upfront about being overwhelmed his first season or two and is specific about how he would do it over again. Genuinely seems like he's learned from his mistakes.

Speak for yourself on Corral a decent contigent of us want a better look at him.

Need a Bojangles kit with the Bo Box trim

Yeah the whole guessing the play thing is his schtick and it gets old. Olsen comes off as much more natural, like just a knowledgable football mind watching along.

He’s been the sticking point in negotiations I’m pretty sure. I think that’s why Rozier to the Lakers didn’t go through. We’d have to bundle in LaMelo for someone to take Gordon off us now.

You notice that your colleague Mary is wearing a well fitting pair of denim pants. Which of the following statements are an appropriate response? (Mark all that apply.) A.) "Show me how you wiggle to get those jeans up." B.) "I bet you lay down on your bed to fit in those jeans." C.) "Did you step into those jeans or did you have to jump into them?" D.) None of the above
