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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
