Opinions on Corrals game

A few things I'm thinking about Corral.

In the post-round presser after drafting Corral, Rhule answered a question at the end talking about how Ole Miss teammates talked about what a good leader Corral is and how much they liked playing for him. 

I think this will factor into the dynamics of the QB position this year, I do not believe Sam Darnold is much of a leader that teammates rally around. He's just a quieter, straight edge guy, and that's okay. But unfortunately, he's also not an NFL starting QB in my opinion, and those two things combined will have him on a short leash. 

I do buy into the Corral leadership factor, read some good things about him (and bad) but I think ultimately he's a guy who's vulnerable with his teammates and plays hard as hell for them. You have got to respect his decision to play in the bowl game for his school and risking injury which unfortunately for him (not Carolina!) that's what happened.

However, with no QB veteran in the room, who the hell is he going to learn from as he adjusts to NFL lifestyle? I do not think Darnold is the right guy for that, I think it's pretty important we do NOT pick up another QB arm for competition, but rather a clipboard holder who will guide the QB room in the right direction. No, I don't think the answer to that is Cam.

By nature of how the team is structured right now, Sam will be getting the #1 reps most of camp I presume, if this happens and then he gets hurt or plays so bad that Corral is swapped in, I'll be worried about how quickly he adjusts and his confidence. I do not really trust this coaching staff in that respect, there's going to be so much responsibility on Ben McAdoo's shoulders, thank god he's an NFL vet and should be able to handle these things at his level.  

I'm excited though, we haven't had an exciting rookie QB since Cam I'd say so I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. Very happy that we have what I'm hoping will be an at least middle of the pack NFL offensive line for the first time in years and some weapons to surround the QB position with.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.

      Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one.

      See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
