Matt Corral vs the Old GOAT


Recommended Posts

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.

He was humbled on draft night like Aaron. Good way to play with a chip on your shoulder.

If the Panthers had a franchise QB like Brett Favre and we'd just lucked up on drafting Aaron Rodgers I'd say yeah, let the rookie sit. 

IF Cam Newton was still here I'd say sit the rookie and let him watch a professional QB and leader of men at work.

There is NO REASON for Matt Corral not to go through off-season, training camp and start like Cam or Luck, Burrow.

It's more important to evaluate Matt Corral and HIS possibilities against NFL defenses. We saved on Corral so Sam being such a high priced backup hurts a little less.

Yes, Sam backing up the rookie retains future trade value for Darnold also. Win, win. We evaluate Corral and maybe he learns to do most if not all of what he did in college in the NFL. He's great at play action and pump fakes already. He has much better cast members in CMC, DJ, Robby, Marshall.

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 was a comparison of their respective careers as they were headed off to the NFL. Nothing more.

 

Dang man, you just can't allow folks to be happy can you? Just because you are unhappy, does not mean everyone must be as well.

Agreed. We fixed the OL and that set it up for a rookie to start. The run game will also make it easier and having an OC like MacAdoo and QB coach like Ryan will also make it easier because they'll be able to help open the playbook at a good pace for Corral and get him coached up along the way.

And Corral is a tough enough character that he'd be able to withstand the pressure. 

If he can't hack it as a rookie, he likely won't be able to hack it at all. He's not like Sammy needing to be coddled.

Darnold is gone next year so unless we trade him mid season he's just gonna walk into FA

Starting Sam only puts us another year behind.  Corral more than likely will have rookie mistakes.  Most NFL rookie QBs do.  Starting Sam only puts the rookie in the lineup 2023.  Might as well let him learn this year.  He should have a decent line to protect him and won't be running for is life like last year's QBs.  

As stated he has some great weapons and will not have to be the savior.  Just learn the offense and take what the Defense gives you.

If Corral is the better QB when the season starts then play him. If he's not, it makes absolutely zero sense to start him just because. The NFL QB graveyard is full of those QBs even when taken in the top 10. Never force a QB. 

Someone else earlier already pointed out that Montana didn't start until is 3rd season.

Look how much money has been dumped into the Sam Darnold project. Is he or isn't he a franchise QB?! The stats are self evident. Shouldn't be.

We need to know what Matt Corral is made of now not later after caressing and grooming. We don't have that luxury. We don't have a starter on the roster.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
