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.
-
Why are we here if we are just going to wait to see how he does? Shut down the board and let’s all meet at BofA for a prayer circle if we can’t have disagreements about the team. I can dislike the pick and not hate the kid (which I don’t). I will also pull for him and I hope he succeeds. If he does, I’ll be the first to say I was wrong.

Are we really doing this… it was one throw… can you do that after playing a whole game? Not one scout has said that he has elite arm strength. He’s got great arm talent and an elite release. His arm strength is ordinary by NFL standards and simply put the QB’s that are running RPO’s at a high level have better arms (Mahomes, Allen, and Herbert). The one QB who also runs RPO’s a lot who doesn’t have elite arm strength is Tua… we can all see how that situation is going. If you truly think that Corral’s arm strength is on par with Mahomes, Allen, and Herbert then we have nothing to talk about because we won’t see eye to eye.
