Darnold is a total fugging hack... he is who he is and is what hes  been... we are gonna hustle his azz out there for posterity and realize again he blows... we all know. Coral will be in conservatively by game 4...It will be baptism by fire...not sure he can withstand that... i.e. david Carr....

A lot depends on if Tepper has guaranteed Rhule more time past 2022. If he has then Rhule could start Sam and only insert Corral if the bottom falls out. 

True.  

For now, I'm taking Tepper's comments at face value.  He seemed to give Rhule his unqualified support recently.  That coupled with no veteran backup suggests Rhule isn't going anywhere in the near future.

His list was a 2nd rounder, 6th rounder, 24th pick and 10th pick.

Your list is 3 number 1 overall picks, a 4th pick and 6th pick. There’s a big difference in expectations. Corral isn’t expected to be ready day 1. It would be surprising if he was and very possibly could be not so good for his development. 

He has a first round grade on many people's board. Unique draft, so I'm giving him the benefit of QB1 status.

He was the consensus QB1 last year.

The problem with Marshall was going against starting NFL CBs instead of guys not making teams. No idea if he’ll improve but my point was preseason stats aren’t all that meaningful.

I don’t disagree.  But I also think Rhule failed to give enough opportunities to the young guys.  I mean given what was ahead of Brady and TMJ.   And what are suppose to be….

Corral is the Aaron Rodgers of this draft. A guy who knew he was the best QB that year and sat there and waited and waited.

And yes, third is a slide but there were so many great lineman this year so it was almost inevitable.

Also there is a strategy out there to release bad info about something you want to buy to get that asset cheaper.

Now were they playing chess? Somebody was.

Face value he repeatedly said Sam Darnold was a very good QB right before they traded up for Corral.

Meh, maybe I shouldn't give Tepper the benefit of the doubt, but I was feeling generous at the time.

Even if Corral doesn't displace Sam Darnold out of the gate, it is a hopeful sign to see this franchise try to provide some competition at the QB position.  Something I can't recall happening in quite some time.

I'm interested in seeing a healthy Sam behind a good line in preseason. If he succeeds, he'll probably start week 1. Letting Corral ease into it is best for everyone, if Sam can play well enough to be a space holder.

Congratulations on the most level headed post.

As much as I would love the oline to start the season kicking ass, and taking names.... that doesn't seem to happen in the modern NFL. 

Sam is more physically gifted,  and knows the offense. 

He should be getting the start at the beginning of the season. 

Here is to hoping for a good start to the season, regardless whom is starting.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.
