Matt Corral vs the Old GOAT


Recommended Posts

Even if you're right, temper you expectations for 2022. 

Montana started one game as a rookie. He was 13 of 23 for 96 yards, 1 TD and no pics. He started seven games his second year. SF won two of them. It wasn't until his third year that he started looking like Montana.

We are really comparing Corral to montana?  Really guys?

Yes, in the sense that both are 6'2", 200 lbs, drafted 3rd round as the 4th QB taken. Both are accurate and cocky. The post clearly states, "Is Corral the next Montana? Probably not." But those are a lot of interesting similarities that many people probably didn't know. But just remember that Montana wasn't supposed to be anything other than a possible starter one day. In 1979, if someone said he was the next Bradshaw no one would believe it but no one is saying Corral is Montana.

Let’s actually watch him against NFL competition before we measure him for a jacket.

How about we take a look at the kid in an NFL practice and go from there.

Maybe we should start a peer review board to get topics approved? That way folks like these won't have to waste their time telling the rest of us how to Huddle properly.

To be fair Joes #1 receiver was Jerry Rice so if he was to lock on him all the time like the scouting report suggest then he’s going to win more times than loose because Jerry Rice is statistically speaking the greatest WR to ever play the game.

Corral was rated as one of the top 3 QBs in this class. He fell to us and we, IMO, made a smart move to get him.  I get the coincidental comparison of Montana and Corral. 

I want you all to reflect on last season.  Before I say any more, I have never been a person to diagnose a game like some of you do.   That said, I can recall many games where a WR was wide the F**K open and Darnold missed him or threw it late.   Corral has that quick release and can read the field well.   I honestly don't think we'll see him pull a Darnold and will see those open receivers and make those plays.

I did watch quite a few of Corral's games on Youtube and one thing that stood out was if he is in a clean pocket he will make a good accurate throw.  His O-line wasn't the greatest so those times were not very often but when he had them.  He was deadly. 

I joked the other day about him being OROY but if he is given a chance to start from day 1 I would not be surprised to see him in the running.  We definitely have the weapons to make it easy for him.

We haven't even so much as gotten to rookie minicamp and already Joe Montana comparisons? This is the type of stuff that gets a fanbase fairly mocked. 

It’s all in fun. He just pointing out where they were drafted size etc. Even states “probably not.” It’s similar to when you compared Howell to Favre. Obviously these are 1 in a million chances either of these have those type of careers, but both share some similar traits to these HOF QBs. It’s interesting because Corral has said he modeled some of his game after Rodgers and Rodgers grew up a big Niners fan. I’m sure Rodgers mimics Montana in some ways after growing up watching him.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
