I readily confess I know next to nothing about Corrall, but I started to look at one of his highlight tapes, and this is immediately my question:

How many NFL QB's still playing past age 30 looked that skinny in college?

A poo ton of them?

Part of the issue is that Corral LOOKS smaller compared to his competition bc college athletes are freaks these days…especially in the SEC. 
 

Brees played his entire career at 210. Corral has the frame to put on another 10-12lbs in his lower body and core. He’s going to fill out and his playing weight will be 210-212 which is fine. Just gonna take some time. 

Yeah it’s not like he’s even a small dude. 6 foot 2, 212-215 ish lbs. if he can get to 220 or so that’s perfectly fine.

The only thing that actually matters is can he football.  If he can play like he belongs then who cares how big, tall, or fast he is?  He could be a 4 foot tall one leg elf for all I care. As long as he can play like an nfl qb I don't gaf.

Just win baby.

Well, having a few more pounds of muscle does make it a little easier to deal with the physicality of the NFL.  Of course, getting the ball out faster helps a lot more.

Of course it helps. Just don't let that blind you to what is the critical things. Can he play the game at this level is all you need to know. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Plus you should always be looking for someone to step in when he can no longer play at a high level.  And you don't wait until that day arrives before you get that guy.

The people who are buying into this Mac Jones myth didn't actually watch him play. He's what most thought he'd be - a very limited NFL QB.

Yup, good system and good protection but Jones is a game manager. Still that's all you need sometimes.

No he won’t, the Falcons, Commanders and Steelers will probably take a QB in round 1. We pick at 6 and then have to wait until 137 for our next selection. The Eagles, Lions and Seahawks will also take a QB maybe in the first but definitely before pick 137. Just because some jimmies on a message board think Malik and Kenny are the first two QBs off the board doesn’t mean one team doesn’t have Corral ranked higher. If we wait until pick 137 we’re looking at names like Purdy, Perry and Glass. 

Boy, this didn't age well 😕

To be fair though, I don't really think anybody foresaw the massive slide every quarterback other than Kenny Pickett took.

I can’t believe you remembered me making that post. Hell, I didn’t remember writing it myself. It’s cringeworthy for sure and at least I know I’m memorable.

Corral played against the best all around defenses in the SEC and did pretty dang well (not including non-conference games).

Nothing against the other QBs, but they didn't play against the most stellar defenses all season long.  I think that should be looked at as well.

I don’t understand how people can’t see this….that’s a huge factor. With his release and game tape I’m extremely excited for his potential. I hope we do it right though and give him a true redshirt year.

      That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  Only Young can tell where that goes and everybody just has to wait for real football. That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of talking to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.

      Good lawd, look at the amount of rotation required for a mere 40-yard pass. No wonder he needs a runway for any throw beyond 50 yards.  Can you think of any NFL quarterback today who has a weaker arm than Bryce? For reference, with a similar amount of hip rotation, Stroud slung the ball 69 yards. https://x.com/VatorSports/status/1728845724434186374

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.
