Guess we shouldn't have bothered picking up Burns' 5th year option then... "Average" is an improvement to what we currently have opposite Burns. Two "Average" pass rushers with one being a stout run defender automatically improves our defense as opposed to having one "average" pass rusher who is bad at run defense and some Jags opposite him.

Would improve our Run Defense IMMEDIATELY. Clowney never became the pass rusher he was supposed to be but he is one of the best run defenders in the league. I would sign him on a 2 year deal in a heartbeat.

Ayyyy another familiar face:

My question is, who gives you a better shot at winning more games this year - Darnold, or Foles? Foles isn't a world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but he's at least competent. Plus he's cheap.

I didn't necessarily expect the playoffs last year, but I did expect to see improvement across the board. What we got was a better defense and an absolutely horrific offense that he helped put together thanks to the players he wanted. It was one step forward (defense) and two steps back (offense). We need to take at least one step forward on offense and at least stay roughly the same on defense in order to compete this year. I am not as high on our defense this coming season as I was last offseason due to the limited pass rushers and weak run defense on paper. Secondary looks legit. We shall see.

I've been kicking this idea around in my head for a bit now. IF we add another vet QB, then what's the point in keeping Darnold around? We're on the hook for his money anyway, it's already counting against the books. If we bring in another vet QB it is to "compete" for the starting job, and let's face it, the vet QB would win that battle handily vs. Darnold. At that point, the new vet QB is the starter and Corral is going to be learning under him. New vet QB will put the team in a better position to win this year than Darnold ever would, and Corral would be the backup to learn under him. Why keep Darnold? Trade him for pennies on the dollar, or outright release him. It's a sunk cost either way, why keep him around if you KNOW he isn't the long term answer?

His delivery has really tightened up since HS. Also they said he had the strongest arm in camp since Matt Stafford... Dang.

That'd be fuging great! I don't know how likely that will be though. I'm at the acceptance stage of the grieving process so he is the coach going into next year and I as a panther fan want the team to win so I will be rooting for them. If the first month is anything like the last 3 months of last season, I'm out until Rhule is fired though.

I bet he goes 4 because he was the 4th QB chosen. Either that or 9 because he was picked in the 90s. He strikes me as the kind of guy to do that sort of thing.

I think the deciding factor between howell and Corral was the release. Corral's is elite quick, Howell's is downright slow and telegraphed. In the WC offense McAdoo wants to run, it makes sense to go with the guy with the quicker release.

As a fellow 34 year old, nothing makes you feel older than people saying a 34 year old is old.

Great channel with a ton of prospect breakdowns not limited to QBs. He did one for our new boy: Some good, some bad, plenty to be optimistic about.

I personally, was not a fan of Chuba last year. His balance was crap, he fell all the time, and his hands were stone. Yes the line sucked, but he also did himself no favors. I understand why we went out and got Foreman. He is definitely the goal-line back, but he also showed he is capable of being a team's RB2 when Henry went down. I firmly believe that Foreman becomes the team's true RB2 next season and Chuba ends up RB3.

I've been doing a deep dive into Corral all weekend reviewing scouting reports and film studies on him. The potential is there. His quick release and arm strength are definitely NFL caliber, and he is fearless standing in the pocket. However the more I see the more I notice his lack of consistency throwing mid/deep. He is definitely best suited for a WC/horizontal style offense built around quick reads and getting the ball into playmaker's hands quickly. He does not see the whole field well and comes off receivers too early too often. A lot of the time If they aren't open when he sees them, he will look off them even if they are about to clear a zone/can be thrown open if he throws to a spot. That is concerning, but can he learn to make those reads and how quickly can he do it? How much of that was Kiffin's scheme where he was throwing to a guy no matter what? Overall, he was drafted about where he should have been. I'm less high on him as I was on Friday, and don't anticipate him beating Sam out in TC. He's a work in progress definitely. Hoping for the best but prepared to have a backup QB for the next 4 years.

Right? And like Aaron Rodgers did as a rookie. And like Carson Palmer did as a rookie. And like Tony Romo Did as a Rookie. And like Tom Brady Did as a Rookie. And like Kirk Cousins did as a Rookie. And like Drew Brees did as a Rookie.

I mean obviously, Carson strong to take PJs place. I feel horrible for the kid. Even if you weren't sold on him you can't deny that he had the talent to at least be drafted. That knee must be completely shot.

Dudes knee must be completely shredded. Sucks for him.

I was joking because I don't think I've ever seen this many receivers taken at this point in the draft before. 17/105 picks have been WRs so far. Insane.

Well it's not going to be WR, I can tell you that. I think they ran out.

Welp, would you rather pay 20 million for one year of Baker Mayfield or would you rather pay like 4 million over 4 years for baker Mayfield? I'm going to be straight up honest, I love the pick and I'm scared because Rhule seems to too.

Everyone upset about this one, let's put it into perspective: He's a 3rd round QB with potential. Worst case scenario - he's our backup. Best case scenario, we have our own Russell Wilson.

I need to figure out how to make matt corral emojis work instead of carson strong ones... ...

We traded our 4th this year and 3rd next to get him.
