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 let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?
    • sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.  
    • What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
