Garry Cobb?

You forgot Dr Lunker…

Moore is looking great because there is an actual QB throwing to him.

Mac and Zach were also 1st rounds picks in which were considered “pro ready” and their teams needed them to start sooner vs later. Zach didn’t look ready and got dominated his first few starts. Forcing a rookie to start right away seems rushed and foolish when we don’t have to.

Do you think that’s why Bozeman was with the 2s today and Elf with the 1s? To help Baker get acclimated to his new center (Bozeman). If Bozeman is with the 1s tomorrow with Baker it will be interesting.

Let him bulk up, learn the game and he could be a steal.

Agreed. We would have been better off keeping Davis Cheek over him and that's pretty low...

He is like poo I don't care. Any of those fans cashing in $18.5 million this year like I am??

Yeah we need Baker with Corral as his backup unless Corral blows them away. PJ or someone cut from another team can be our QB3. If it fails draft one again next year (hopefully with a new coach) and let him compete with Corral.

Something similar to the Teddy to Denver trade last year. Shanahan inquired about him with the Jets and I could see them sending us something trivial like a 6th/7th providing we eat most of his salary to back up Lance. Even if we save 1 or 2 million and gain a late round pick it would be worth it.

Damn the ball was halfway to his WR before I realized he released it!

Corral has great tools (release, arm strength, quickness), but the concern with him and most other QBs in this recent class is that they will need time to adjust to the NFL. The offense ran at Ole Miss doesn't translate as well as it does in the NFL. If he put up those numbers in a Pro Style Offense he probably would have been drafted sooner. Hopefully it works out in our advantage, but many scouts/analysts were wanting Corral, Willis, and Howell to sit for at least a year before they are ready which appears to be what we are doing unless he just dominates early like Russ did in Seattle. I still think when it's all said and done Darnold might be traded and we could be rolling with Baker with Corral backing him up.

Are there people who hate on DJ Moore? The man racks up 1000 yard seasons with some terrible QB play...

Yep. It's the reason why an "open competition" isn't really the best option for these players. Darnold will look good in practice and poo the bed when it's game time. We all know this and we know Baker is at least a capable starting QB in this league. The only competition should be Baker vs Corral. We know what Sam is.

Did you get off the Strong bandwagon? You weren't this obsessed with Corral until after the draft. It was constant Strong posts over and over and over again....

I think you will find most people on here like Corral and want him to succeed. Best case scenario is he is our future at QB and plays at a high level.

Injuries are a hard thing to predict. However it sounds like they are just being smart right now and holding him out as a precaution from soreness. I wouldn’t worry too much yet…

Corral and Baker and going to end up fist fighting on the sidelines while Sam is flipping a water bottle trying to get it to land right.

He is just happy he is getting $18.5 million after his awful season last year.

Broncos play the Seahawks week one also. We played the Jets week one last year. It's interesting.....

I would believe it more if we weren't opening against the Browns. It's going to be hard to not let Baker get his revenge and he is going to do everything in his power to start that game.

Sean Payton and Dr Lunker

Glad to hear you all recovered. It seems to be more treatable now that a couple years ago, but you are right about keeping your guard up. I'm just happy our QB room is MUCH better than last season. Baker/Corral > Sam/PJ and it's not even close!
