The flaw in the following thinking

I think the best situation is what Rhule has already said will happen. Its an open competition. Darnold should win that. 
 

If Darnold sucks and we finish bottom 5 we are drafting another QB next year for our new head coach.
If Darnold pays mediocre then Corral is again in competition with Darnold.  

I am still bullish on Darnold. I think him having competition will actually push him to be better. He is still young and has all the tools. 
 

Who is at QB doesn't matter to me as long as they earned that spot.

I don’t think it will be an open competition. And I’m okay with that.  I don’t want them to throw Matt out there to start the year off.  

Sam is going to be defaulted into the starting job.  And I suspect Rhule will handle him very similar to last offseason/preseason.   Largely keep him out of sight and focus on him checking down.  

because If you make it a real competition it means exposing all your QBs to real completion and scenarios.  And Matt likely won’t be ready right away and Sam will look bad because he always looks bad when you asked him to be a NFL QB whose hands aren’t tied down.  And you don’t want to go into a season with Sam imploding and still have to start him

Matt will start when BOA tells Matt Rhule what to do.  

The boos were impactful last year.  I suspect they will be this year too. All will come down to how long Sam can keep the crowd off him.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
