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?

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
