We just need a vet backup like Foles. Our goal at the QB position should be to get Corral up to speed and see if he has what it takes before the next draft. Someone like Foles could start the first few games until Corral is ready.

Yeah I got it. He could still suck, but have his best season yet.

True, but I don't see us as a contender yet.

It's also assuming Mike Thomas plays/stays healthy. Landry and Kamara have some injury concerns as well...

The whole Cam situation kind of proves his point though. We had an elite talent in Cam Newton come to our franchise and never gave him a proper OL or many weapons. Instead we ran him into the ground, watched him get hit constantly in the pocket and shortened his career. That kind of stuff shouldn't happen to elite QBs. Look at the Bengals loading up on weapons/OL because they know they have something in Burrow.

https://www.derp/2022/5/16/23074081/czikks-take-could-matt-corral-be-the-opening-day-starter Corral looks like he has bulked up some in this picture. It could just be the angle and how he is stepping forward, but 15 more pounds or so and it will have similar measurements to Aaron Rodgers.

True, but I’m sure fighting through constant contact behind the line of scrimmage contributed some wear and tear. That cut shouldn’t normally injure a person in his shape, I think all the hits did the most damage that was just the final straw needed to injure him.

Having a big OL to keep players off him should help. If McAdoo uses him correctly (signing Foreman to supplement Hubbard gives me hope) he should hold up better this season. We really need him to help develop Corral. He is a nice safety net for a young signal caller.

Brown could be great for our running game. Imagine the left side with Icky and Brown. That’s a lot of pounds plowing the defense out of the way!

Why not bring in someone like Nick Foles. He is a FA and could be a solid backup, maybe even start the first few games.

This is why we always need to grab an OL in the late round as well. They seem to have higher success rates than other positions in the later rounds. It looks like we might actually have some OL depth now.

His best season doesn’t equate do a good season. Where do you have him ranking in league QBR. We have hired a vet OC and OL coach, sunk a ton of capital into rebuilding our OL, he has weapons in CMC, Moore, Robbie and possibly Marshall. If he is a decent QB that should put him in the top half of the league right?

He tried to force it when our guys couldn’t get separation (which was higher than most teams). Pre snap reads, audibles, and knowing what the defense was doing were all things he was solid at. I love the clip where he mocks Clay Matthew’s about watching film and immediately throws a TD to CMC.

Cam can also come in on certain plays like Hill for the Saints. Especially around the goal line. The only negative I could see is the locker room would get behind Cam quickly and that could make it hard for a rookie like Corral to win them over.

That Matt Corral is so hot right now.

I think you are on to something. He thought he was going to be one of the smartest coaches in the league right away and could plug in whoever at OC/DC etc. He seems to have gotten humbled a little with hiring some experienced staff and seemed to kind of let Fitt handle the draft. Maybe can can learn/grow into a decent coach. We shall see…

Yeah he could also have 2000 receiving yards but it’s just very unlikely. The people that got a close look at him (our staff) were adamant about bringing in some “competition” for a reason. They have given up on him.

We aren't keeping Darnold past this season. Corral has the potential to get better as he gets more exposure/playing time. If it's close you play the one with the potential to get better and be part of our future.

He has seemed to have trouble staying healthy lately. So has Thomas, hell even Kamara...

Yeah you are right. So only Bill?
