Corral isn't beating out Darnold in TC.. So Corral won't see the field until Darnold inevitably starts sucking.  Maybe week 6 or 8..

Depends.  If they ask Darnold to checkdown all camp like they did last year and refuse to really play him in the preseason....he will be tough to beat. 

But there are college kids right now that can do simple things at the QB position better than Sam right now.

I'm sorry but I disagree..

With Darnold having a 4 year head start on experience and pro game speed.. And none of these guys are going to physically look better then him.. He is bigger, stronger, faster, and has better arm talent then most of this class..

There only going to beat him on decision making and reading defenses and that usually takes time to do...

I mean, I'd put being adjusted to the speed of the NFL aside.  Everyone has to come in and get use to the difference.   That's a seperate thing.    PJ Walker has an edge there.  Jimmy Clausen would. 

QB isn't about being big, strong, fast, etc for the most part.  Yeah, Sam has a lot of that stuff. Tom Brady has none of that. 

QB is a mental game largely.  And a game of how you react to pressure. Pending you aren't a freak like Lamar, not saying he doesn't have the mental game but if he didn't......he could just be an athlete behind center and be okay.   Sam is drastically behind in that area and why he sucks.  He implodes offenses because he fugs up the plays.  He doesn't read the field right.  He doesn't have the timing right on plays.  Sam can turn a perfect play call into a bad play.  That's the same problem.  And there are rookies every year ahead of him in that department.  

Sam is a good athlete.  Never been a good QB.  Never will.

Again Just my opinion..

Game speed, experience, verbadge is already a hurdle for the rookie QBS..

If they don't have the edge on the mental stuff that Sam sucks in.. Physically nobody in this draft is going to look better than Darnold on the practice field..

I actually like Zappe and he will be there when we draft in the 4th. Quit making stupid trades to look like you are doing something. They are not making the team better and if Darnold can't get it done behind this upgraded OL, he is gone next year and we can get our QB in the first. Stop digging a worse hole with bad trades.

Agreed, only one who had a chance was Pickett… and a chance doesn’t always equate to success. It’ll be interesting to see the competition between him and Trubisky.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
