Round 3 Pick 94: Panthers Select Matt Corral - QB Ole Miss

Matt Corral is a decent prospect with upside. Ok, he’s not seen as a generational passer, but there’s talent there to work with. Maybe he can be our Dak Prescott?

It would be nice to think we get a legitimate starting QB on a third round pay scale.

Hopefully there is an open competition this off season and Corral can beat out Darnold for the starting job, or he can light a fire under Darnold’s backside to make him play better.

I'm glad you made me wrong and stuck around. Sadly, I don't think it is going to go well for you.

Welcome to Jets 2.0.

LOL!   I know I shouldn't laugh but I guess I'm laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Game winner against Arkansas...he scans the field patiently despite pressure and throws a nice pass to the wide open guy for the winning TD

I also look at the rest of the vid.   He seems to be adept at the short passes and he's definitely waaaaay more accurate at the Deep Ball than Sam Delusional.   

Only saw a handful of medium-range throws there, though.

And his propensity for running(which he's pretty good at)...well...somebody should give him the video of Sam getting decapitated straight into oblivion..as sort of a pick-your-spots advice.   Just saying...

It's really difficult to be worse. Darnold is a natural panicker and I don't think that can be fixed.

No it can't.   I bet he was a panicker in College, too.

It's not like he's some Will Grier scrub.

No I agree.  And it’s not a bad pick.  Don’t get me wrong I’m happy we took him.  I like the pick.

Im more remarking at the “er muh gerd he’s gunna bust” crowd.

If he contributes positively in anyway it’s a win.

Based on the vid, he's already better than Sam Delusional so it's a win from the start.

This is how the kids feel, Tepper knows it

Can't blame him.

I'd boo Sam Delusional as well.

He also must've read/heard about the Podcast (and what he said) he was on like I have.

true. at the very least he gives us a better backup option than we've had since DA. 

I think just because of having CMC healthy (for a while) and an upgraded OL, sammy will look better. hopefully not enough to justify rhule keeping Corral on the sidelines. I just don't trust Rhule and if Corral doesn't get a shot in play time, I'm not going to necessarily hold it against Corral. 

I'm hoping that Corral just blows the doors off in TC. Sammy's problem, though, isn't exactly practicing. It's what happens when the pressure is on in games when live bullets are flying.

Unfortunately, what is good for Sam, what is good for Rhule and what is good for the Panthers are all completely different answers.

Which is really going to make it difficult to find out what we've got in Corral.

I've been doing a deep dive into Corral all weekend reviewing scouting reports and film studies on him. 

The potential is there. His quick release and arm strength are definitely NFL caliber, and he is fearless standing in the pocket. 

However the more I see the more I notice his lack of consistency throwing mid/deep. He is definitely best suited for a WC/horizontal style offense built around quick reads and getting the ball into playmaker's hands quickly. 

He does not see the whole field well and comes off receivers too early too often. A lot of the time If they aren't open when he sees them, he will look off them even if they are about to clear a zone/can be thrown open if he throws to a spot. That is concerning, but can he learn to make those reads and how quickly can he do it? How much of that was Kiffin's scheme where he was throwing to a guy no matter what?

Overall, he was drafted about where he should have been. I'm less high on him as I was on Friday, and don't anticipate him beating Sam out in TC. He's a work in progress definitely.

Hoping for the best but prepared to have a backup QB for the next 4 years.

Athlete. YES

Passer. YES

Clutch. YES

He doesn't show the leadership qualities to command a championship team. Easily antagonized and cocky. Not good at sitting and learning. 

Personality wise (using Panthers comps) he is a cross between Steve Smith, Rae Carruth, and Greg Hardy.

Anger management issues, narcissistic, resistant to authority figures, highly competitive, dominant when winning, destructive when losing, and business/self-interest minded. He will succeed in a player led culture that allows for freedom of expression, lack of structure, and loose discipline. Bret Michaels management team and Corral's Mom control his image/PR.

He is in a relationship with Raine Michaels

Bret Michaels and David Tepper have a relationship going back to their days with the Steelers.

This is a David Tepper pick.

He will need a couple handlers early in his career.

 

Well.  We get to enjoy this for the next couple years. 
 

Raine Michaels

Trying to analyze this team at all will be a nightmare.  Unless there is enough good coaching on the staff now to mitigate Rhule's dumbass.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
