Rapoport says it could have been Pickett
MillionDollarCam replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers

I’m gonna be honest, I’ve had a couple drinks but I don’t follow your math at all… we gave up a third and fourth for Corral. If we have a chance to draft Young or Stroud next year then you do it and flip Corral for a fourth or something similar… or hell let them battle it out and flip whichever one loses out. So all in all you lose a third round pick (the one traded to New England) but you found your franchise QB. Corral very well could be a franchise QB but why kill him early trying to find out…. I’d say we aren’t particularly a well run organization but we don’t need to be taking pages out of the Jets playbook.

Round 6 Pick 189: Amaré Barno, EDGE, Virginia Tech
MillionDollarCam replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Was hoping he was going to be the pick. Obviously not ready to play yet but just another athletic freak that has tools you can work with. At this point in the draft that’s all you can ask for. I particularly like Fitterer’s idea of searching for home runs in the later rounds. Sure there are some guys out there that are more polished and will develop into average NFL players, but you can get those same type of guys as UDFA’s. Fitterer is swinging for the fences and trying to land stars in the late rounds… I’m about it. -
For me personally. Unless you have Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, or one of the other elite QB’s then you take Young or Stroud and let them battle it out with Corral. It’s not like we invested a ton of draft capital in Corral so if he happens to flash a little bit and then you end up with a chance to draft Young or Stroud then you do it. One way or another you just created a great trade piece. I also think mentorship at the NFL level is way over exaggerated. These guys need to know how to be adults and take care of their finances, something that their inner circle will help them with. Football wise, the coaching staff is paid to get them ready.

Feel like that might set him up for failure. If McAdoo doesn’t completely overhaul his offensive concept (which he shouldn’t) and tailor his scheme specifically to Corral then Corral is going be learning a pro style system… something he’s never done before. Give the kid a chance and don’t Sam Darnold him by throwing him into the fire when he’s not even close to ready. Being an NFL QB is a lot more than just tossing the ball to the open guy. At some point he’ll probably play this year… from day one… bad idea.

Round 4 Pick 120: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
MillionDollarCam replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
He can play all positions but Smith himself said he expects to play OLB. He reminds me a lot of Manny Lawson. Their versatility, speed, athleticism, aggressiveness, etc. Putting their tape beside each other and the players almost looks identical. For Smith it’s just going to be about development and consistency. -
Round 4 Pick 120: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
MillionDollarCam replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Probably just a special teams guy next year but he offers a lot of potential. Guy is an athletic freak and he looks the part, definitely the guy you want getting off the bus first. Decent coverage linebacker with room for improvement, the big thing is cleaning up those missed tackles. He looks like Tarzan and plays like Tarzan which leads to some missed tackles when he’s trying to crack someone. -
Obviously don’t need a WR unless they ship Robby off which is no unlikely but man adding Austin III or Shakir would be fun. Munford also sitting there from Ohio State, I knows he’s a super senior but you can kick him inside to guard and he’ll do well.

I hadn’t mentioned Corral once until we drafted him. On the other hand you haven’t been able to get Willis’ out of your mouth since the combine. Is it Liberty, the color of his skin, like what’s the deal here… the only one still talking about him is *drum roll*… you.

A healthy CMC, if he goes down again then what? That’s why you can’t tailor your offense to Corral in my opinion. Not to mention a heavy RPO offense is going to get CMC hit a bunch… even on pull outs he’s going to get lit up. I personally don’t want that. I’d rather Corral adapt to our system rather than we adapt to his. If we have to adopt to his then you have put all your eggs in his basket and if he still doesn’t work out then you’ve set yourself back even further. He gives you enough to work with to think that he can be a pro style QB. If it doesn’t work out then at least you tried in my opinion. Now obviously he does the RPO well so let’s not eliminate it but we don’t need to be at damn near 50% like Miami. Drop it down to 20% and let the kid learn how to be an NFL QB pocket passer with the ability to use his legs and the RPO when needed. I don’t think there’s any scenario where I want him taking some of the hits that Mahomes and Allen take, he’s just not built like that.

Did Malik kick your dog?

You think he’s the athlete that Watson is? Also Watson is not a good play action QB, on the other hand Corral is. I do see some similarities but quite a few differences as well. Obviously the RPO similarities are there but I don’t necessarily think Corral will be able to get around like Watson does.

So this may get hate.. but I actually think Joe Brady could have done well with Corral. We saw what he was trying to do with Darnold but I just don’t think Darnold had the mental makeup to run Brady’s offense… I think Corral maybe could have. McAdoo has had success developing QB’s so I hope they focus on really turning Corral into a pro style QB. He gives you a lot to work with: solid arm, great pocket awareness, very mobile, good footwork. That’s enough to work with. Up to the coaching staff to teach and Corral to learn. What I’m concerned about is Rhule coming out in the future and saying something like… 50% our plays are going to be RPO’s now because we have Corral. I’m not sold on that working at the NFL level for Corral simply because the guys who are doing it well at the NFL level are built different.

I mean all players have some sort of trait in common. There’s very few players who come into the NFL that are so unique that they go above the norms of football. So yes I use my research to relate Corral to other situations in the NFL. Those situations aren’t necessarily flattering for him. It doesn’t damn to the QB cellar though. It’s an opinion, one that I can have. I welcome other opinions.

I don’t hate the kid…. Not to mention me thinking the kid may not work out has no bearing on if he does or not. He’s making millions and we’re sitting here talking about him. I like to talk about football and that’s why I’m here. It has nothing to do with Corral. I hope he does well I just have my concerns. Like others around here, I’m not going to damn the kid to hell because I have concerns about his play.
