My Thoughts on the 2022 Draft (Matthias Rant)

I have no clue whether Corrall will be good, or even serviceable.  But having Matt Corrall on the roster means there is at least a chance - slim yes - that we have a franchise QB.  We already know for (*&#@ sure that Darnold ain't it.  We know PJ ain't it.  JimmyG?  Pass.  Baker?  Question marks surround him.  McAdoo wasn't sold.

At least there is a slim chance that we have a franchise QB on the roster.  If he's better than Darnold but not a franchise QB, fine.  We have our backup, and we'll be picking high again.  If he sucks, oh well, it's a third.

But if he's great.  Oh man.  Imagine what we can do with our first round picks.  We can, you know, build a team.

I'm not excited about Matt Corrall other than to admire some of the traits he's shown.  But I am excited about the possibility he represents.

Its amazing to me when people say they are tired of people trashing Corral and here you are saying people are going over the top with their high expectations...

First of all (from both camps) who/where are all these people? Most things I've seen or read are mostly cautiously optimistic, which to be honest, is about the most obvious and realistic way to approach all of this.

Secondly, can we just be happy with having a solid offensive line for a change, a defense loaded with speed and talent on all three levels, a competent Offensive coordinator that got to hand pick his Quarterback (and who should help Darnold), a capable punter/kicker, and a GM who is actually the envy of other teams? 

Is that too much to ask?

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
