Davidson Deac II

At his best, no doubt. Now, probably not. Not that Thomas is good, but Ebron was struggling last year, even before he went on IR.

Not exactly. He turned almost parallel to the oline for just a brief second, and then turned again to move downfield. I guess Kurt is saying he should have been running at more of a 45 degree angle down the field and it would have held the safety for a brief but important moment. If Kurt is right, just go to show how small the difference is between a successful pass and one that is knocked away.

Bigger than Kelvin Benjamin?

The NFC south has four quarterbacks selected in the top 5 of the draft. Mayfield and Winston were selected number 1, Marcus Mariotta was selected number two, and Darnold was picked third. Yet the only one who really is expected to do well is a 45 year that was drafted in the sixth round. I can't help but laugh at the irony of that.

You really need to stop holding back and let us know how you really feel about Rhule.

Is there tension behind the scenes? Yes, No, or Maybe. Did Rhule and Fitterer disagree on selecting Corral? Yes, No, or Maybe. Would we know the answers at this point? No, unless Rhule or Fitterer is a secret huddle member.

Probably not, but I believe Kingsbury won't be around much longer with the talent that the Cardinals have, especially if he loses to us again.

Corral isn't getting cut.

Probably for a while, but you would think they would have learned by watching Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban, and Greg Schiano. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Jimmy Johnson the last College Coach to make the jump with no previous significant NFL experience?

Like I said, Rhule should have been fired last year. Actually, should have never been hired. College coaches with almost no NFL experience almost never works out.

Here is a wow play

But the question is not whether they have flaws, but can we get/afford anyone that is better.

He will be, unless Darnold gets traded or cut.

I wish Rhule had been fired last year. That being said, I think most of you are making too much of this. It was a certainty that Corral would be third after Baker and Darnold, once we got Baker and didn't get rid of Darnold. I think the plan is to bring Corral along slowly. Baker is going to start with Darnold being the back up. Corral will be the third qb, and be inactive on most days, but he will get more snaps in the next preseason game. PJ might make the practice squad, but more than likely will be gone. If Baker or Darnold get injured or if Darnold gets traded or cut, Corral will get more playing time/snaps. Are these the right moves? Probably not, but I am not sure I want to get upset about how many snaps our third string qb is getting.

I don't know if Pickett will be a star, but the "wow" factor is overrated. What makes a qb a star is being cool and making accurate throws or decisions under pressure. And that is something that won't really be known until he starts playing in actual games.

Nice drive by Pickett and the Steelers, assuming it stands.

He might be asked to retire.

Losing Russel Wilson is eventually going to cost Pete Carrol his job.

that kind of punt can help make you a contender.

Dam, is that 70 yards in the air? That is amazing.

As much as Corral and the offense struggled, that was the first time our offense has had a game winning drive with under five minutes left since 2020, preseason or regular season. I think we scored a 4th qtr td against the Falcons with about 6 minutes left last year, but nothing with under five minutes.

I generally ignore stuff like that anyway. I guess that is why I feel a little more objective about his performance. The odds are he will not be a great NFL qb. He might be, but even with first round picks, the odds are they turn out to be less successful than expected. As a sidenote, it is ironic to think that the NFC South might have the highest number of top five draft pick qb's in the NFL, and the only one that is considered to be a really good qb is that 6th round pick in Tampa.

What people declare him is irrelevant. Where he was drafted is now irrelevant. He is a rookie in the NFL, period. He may be good, or he may not.

There are some gigantic over reactions to Corral's performance today. It's his first time in a game, and it was the 4th qtr of a preseason game. If you see doom and gloom because of this, you might need a xanax.
