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.

A very expensive space-holder.

Good thing it's only for one year.

Sign me up for a ticket on the Corral train.  I would love to see him start day 1. The other options are just going to be hard to endure another season. 

But in reality it's going to be difficult for all these rookies to adjust to the speed of the game and the talent level they are competing against. 

I do not doubt he will get ready and take over eventually but could not tell you when that will be. I know they will test him well in training camp and preseason. 

Let's all hope he can prove the league and his doubters wrong. Because the alternative is a bitter pill I'd rather not swallow.

Matt is a f'n baller. Don't coddle this man. Training camp is designed to ease guys in and get them into the speed of the game. Preseason games even moreso. People tell me this ain't the old days, well it ain't the old days, giving the man reps with first team is more important for the future of this team than to watch anything Sam would do. There should be no question who should start. You drafted him to do the job. Sam knows it. The writing is on the wall. Why waste anybody's time. 

Sam in 4yrs is a proven backup. His #'s career wise are terrible. Not a starter. Play your starter let backups backup and "mentor" with them headphones and clipboard not getting valuable reps your draft pick needs.

I hear ya, but that's money already spent, we ain't getting it back. Let him earn it by taking the beating while the new O-line gels and Corral and Icky get used to NFL speed football.

Now that Corral's on board, it's open competition @QB... 

All Corral has to do is learn roughly 30% of the playbook.

Sam could barely remember 10% of Brady's concepts so I'm sure McAdoo's playbook going give him hell.

Truth is Corral may end up just punking Darnold for the job, like straight up take it from him, Sike, best believe if Carolina could find anyone to take Darnold, he would be gone.

Darnold is too nice to fight, Corral #1QB in the bag.

I think PJ going push Corral more as far as their competitive nature.

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. 

Does he really know the new offense though, that’s the question.

Your "space holder" in action:

I forgot Ben is putting in a new offense.  Sorry, it slipped my mind while making the post. 

No worries. But that is what makes it really interesting. Who will pick up the new offense quicker?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      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.

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

      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.
