Monday morning thoughts

[Zod]

1. Considering how few picks they had, the Panthers coupd not have dreamed things went so well for them.

2. Corral is the most exciting Panthers rookie QB since Cam Newton. That much is not really debatable. At the very least it's some interest and excitement to see how he does. 

3. The Panthers have the most complete roster that they have had in probably 4 seasons. If this is not a winning season, Rhule absolutely needs to be canned.

4. I'd like to remind everyone that for a LT to step in and be good right away is very rare. Most struggle for at least a few games if not an entire season. Heck, Jordan Gross started at RT his rookie year for this very reason.

if Carolina tanks another season, do they use their 1st on a qb in next years draft?

Define tank. Because if it’s a top 3 pick we absolutely take one of the top QBs in the draft.

Probably if Corral struggles big time.  He will be given every chance.  When we picked Pickles and gave a chance to shine, he proved right away he’s not the guy.

Depends if Corral gets a chance to actually play. If he does well and holds up, then go with a more pressing need. Having two rookie QB's as potential starters on the roster really is redundant if he turns out to be the guy.

A competent backup would be the need.

I heard on a podcast suggesting we start Corral sooner rather than later. 
If he does well we have our starting QB of the future. If he doesn’t then we do poorly, Rhule is fire and we draft high enough to get a QB.

I think that depends on how Corral looks if he plays and if Tepper fires Rhule and there is demand from him and the new coach to draft a QB. Fitts seems to love the idea of drafting his own Russell Wilson, so I think he'll be inclined to trade the pick or select another elite prospect instead while giving his guy(Corral) another year to develop.

The problem there is if Sam Dawnold manages to win a few games before getting exposed. Then we have a BC situation all over again with Corral.

Icky's top tier intelligence will help him quite a bit here, I imagine.

I think Darnold is done here.  He might not even start week 1 if Corral shines.

Of course. They dropped a future third on corral that’s nothing. 
 

unles he somehow plays amazing and they still eat poo, but if we get amazing qb play we’re not drafting high. 

unless like the entire defense is on a different plane or something

It will be interesting to see the schedule and where the bye week lands. If we end up with a bye week around week 7 or 8 and we are just floating around .500 with Darnold, I think you see the switch to Corral then.

Hoping that we struck gold with Corral and he is one of the ones that makes an immediate impact his rookie year.
