The only way they get anyone else in that QB room is if they get rid of Sam, which they can't/won't do because of how much they've invested in him and that no one will take him. They are essentially stuck with him and that contract. They'll try to make the best of it and he'll help take the pressure off Corral to start right away. 

But we need to get away from this idea that they might bring another vet in or, even less likely, trade for someone. Baker ain't coming here. Neither is Jimmy G. 

The only other QB that might join the locker room is Cam and i don't even see that happening.

And they aren't getting rid of PJ, either, mainly for sentimental reasons rhule has.

Him getting into a fight in high school or getting drunk in high school/college doesn't bother me.  The depression thing could be an issue, but if he is talented, probably worth taking a shot.

If he doesn’t visit this forum the depression stuff probably won’t pop up.

Doubt they trade. I could see them sign Mayfield once he's cut.

Won’t happen and seriously I would rather have Sam working with Matt than Baker any day.  Baker is an azhole.

First thing we should teach Corral…slide and if it isn’t there throw it in the stands.  He has to get the 20 to 30 yard throws there with better accuracy,  he will need time.

Yeah that's the first thing they will have to work out of him.

They'll have to get him on a weight and conditioning program that's going to help him survive in the NFL. 

I still think he's a full season project to get ready for live bullets. Maybe I'm wrong and he adapts quickly. I'm just happy we have something to watch other than Sam failing miserably. Although I'm still not convinced they don't trade for someone else to start the season. 

It takes 2-3 years to groom a NFL QB. Cam Newton did not have a winning season until season 3. That is our biggest issue, we are still a ways away.

I am just asking, for God's sake, give the man an opportunity and don't piss on him if he isn't successful right away. Too many of you give up on a player in their rookie year.

That really shouldn't happen. As a 3rd rounder, his expectation should be solid backup QB. Expecting more than that is unfair(see Grier, Will). 

Anything more than that just means it was a better and better draft pick.

Yeah, people here are so used to us not even taking shots at QB's in the draft that it's getting a little blown out of proportion, also with Darnold sucking and all the FA QB whiffs in general it's got people on edge. In Fitts presser about Corral I think he was trying to slow things down, and basically get back on track with a realistic way of grooming a QB. Corral at the same time is a competitor and he's not gonna hold back on trying to beat Darnold out of the job, so that's great even if he's a bust. Darnold had it too easy last offseason.

In my head i have come to accept all of that. The thought of watching Sam down his swan song as a starting qb next season doesn't trigger me like so many on here.  I've watched much worse. 

My heart wants PJ on the practice squad or in the USFL. He serves absolutely no purpose on this team. Sorry PJ, just business.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
