If we can't run, we must let Darnold pass. He's been pretty hot lately.

You can't let Brady hang around. You must score points, particularly when he has Mike Evans and your defensive backfield has leaks.

Motherfuger

If I were low-key rooting against the kid, I would have.

I support the players playing on grass. That's not the issue. The issue is filing a grievance because the ground was hard. Who ever heard of such? Gimme a damned break! LOL

@TheRumGone, my junior high school and high school years were spent in Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit. We played football on rock-hard ground many many times. Hell, we even legitimately played tackle football on the street. So, you can think what you want.

How can you show flashes if your line is getting run over? Moreover, stop acting like he even played a full preseason game. The offensive effort from the line to Corral to the receivers was super disjointed as was the coaching. Corral didn't have a serious chance. For all intents and purposes, he didnt get an opportunity to "flash." If you can't understand that, I don't know what else to tell you. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Actually it's a dumb grievance. It just speaks to the pussification of some of these modern NFL players.

Corral isn't some nonathletic toothpick as you've always tried to make him. There's only so many ways that I can say that the kid didn't have a chance. He has traits, that's the only reason he's in the NFL.

Not gonna lie, I'd have gone for it

Given the situation, how was he supposed to look? You and others are totally disregarding the context of the situation. That's all I can tell you.

I'll have to accept it, but with one pretty significant caveat, and that's the fact that Corral is recovering from an injury. That could mean that he won't be a viable option until 2024. Maybe the injury could take his ability to perform at a high level at all. In that case, that also turns into a case of just not having the ability, which I guess means Corral doesn't "deserve" it.

There aren't any examples because he didn't get any kind of genuine opportunity. It's not difficult to understand. There is essentially nothing to judge Corral by in regards to his potential professional proficiency based upon Rhule's ignorance and stupidit. Furthermore, most QBs don't look like legit starters on day one, regardless of the round they were drafted in, if they were drafted at all. Once Corral gets a legitimate shot, then he can legitimately be judged.

I guessed that you missed the part where I said that a wise person takes QBs on a case by case basis. All you're doing when you downplay the situation of Corral and don't realize the uniqueness of it due to the train wreck that was Rhule mismanagement is showing me that you're more interested in talking than listening or doing any serious analyzing. Matt Corral's situation was extremely unique in that he was essentially getting zero reps. I say again in a different way: Two to four reps don't mean poo. Rhule wasn't in any way giving Corral the slightest bit of consideration as first, second or even third string QB in 2022, and he acted as such in pretty much everything in regards to Corral. That wasn't the case for Wilson or Dak.

Totally different situation. Not even apples to oranges, but remember the "unicorn! "

A unicorn, huh? Oooookay. By the way, Prescott didn't really win anything pretty easily; Romo got injured during the preseason and that's what gave Prescott his chance.

First off, Corral has barely been on an NFL field. Secondly, the kid has overcome significant obstacles in the past. Third, I haven't heard anyone saying Corral is a sure thing, but only that he shouldn't be counted out. Fourth, the wise person realizes that you can't paint QBs with broad brushes based on the round in which they were drafted. Fifth, there appears to be many more counting Corral out than those giving him a chance. Lastly, I'd say Dak is the latest mid round QB who's had some staying power.

Nobody in the universe was screaming for Jake.

Not at all.

I agree with you to a great extent, but a few tried to tell people pre-draft that Willis was way too raw and that it was frankly ludicrous to consider him on day 1, 2, or at all. As big of a fan as I am of Corral, even I said that he would need development (which he didn't get at all). The same with Justin Fields or any QB transitioning to the pros. It's ultimately guesswork, but there are things that one can gather from college tape, circumstances and context. That's what serious and critical analysis is all about.

I knew that someone was going to make the comparison, but I'm a little surprised it's you. I don't think that it's generally smart to have all your eggs in one basket, but I'm also not going to compare apples to oranges either. Just saying.

Seven games (three starts), 42.8 passer rating, 50.8 completion percentage, zero TDs, 3 INTs, 4.5 yards per completion, 17 is his long, zero 100 yard games and a 12.1 QBR...That's rough to conceive from a guy on any level of football.

That doesn't sound like a meddler, it sounds like am owner of a football team hiring an HC, which is customary and their right, to be perfectly honest. Meddling is trying to be the HC/GM yourself, and running roughshod over the people that you hired to do the jobs and essentially neutering them by undermining their authority.

Look, we all need to pray that Tepper makes the right hire, and that the new coach in collaboration with Fitterer knows what the hell they're doing. That being said, If Fitterer and the new coach like Levis, then depending upon how the draft goes, maybe we'll take a swing. Tepper's modus operandi, thus far, doesn't include a gun to his hirelings' heads or arm twisting.

That could have easily been Rhule reacting to the pressure of failing. Why would you keep on doing the same thing and getting the same result? Moreover, the owner has a right to give input and suggest anything he wants, particularly when the bus is headed straight towards a ditch right before our very eyes.
