According to Scott.... QB competition between Matt and Sam

[Waldo]

Anything could happen at this point. I'm sure most of us hope Corral wins the job in camp and preseason. If not we will see him sooner than later.

Rhule can give him a job on the sideline or something if he wants him around bad enough

No coddling this time around. The best man wins. I can't wait to see it.

Before we feed Corral to the wolves, I actually want to see this OL in games.  Darnold has shown no improvement, but in all honesty, even if he had it would be hard to tell behind what we saw from the OL last year. 

I have hopes for the OL talent we have, provided the coaching staff plays the A-team in their best positions.  If they are even average as a group, then let the best QB play.  If not, we have an $18.5M tackling dummy for opposing defenses to chase.

Based on that and the fact Corral has never taken an NFL snap, much less actually read a defense or worked through progressions in the NFL, I think Darnold is the week 1 starter unless they bring in somebody else with NFL time under their belt.

Spoiler:  Darnold is going to start

and for Rhule and Sam not to get boo'd out of BOA early.....you got to coddle Sam again.  Hide how bad he is.

If it's even close in camp, Corral should get the job and the chance to prove himself. Going to be growing pains, but I'd rather watch those than Darnold stink it up again. 

Give Corral a fair shake this year. 0% chance our FO isn't already salivating at next year's QB class. Let Corral prove whether or not he belongs.

Not sure why this needs to be spelled out. Darnold’s making $19m. He’s the starting QB until Corral is clearly the better option. 

Competition starts when you draft a rookie in your starter’s contract year.

If Matt beats out Sam in training camp, I'm going to be SHOCKED.

That said, I hope he does it...don't think he will, but hope I'm wrong.

Idk. A lot will change from now until next years draft. Howell and Corral were talked about as high 1st rounders, then when the draft comes they go in the 5th and 3rd rounds. 
 

I hear Bryce Young (undersized, elite supporting talent) and CJ Shroud (tiny bit bigger than Corral, elite supporting talent) names thrown around a lot, but how much better are they than Matt?

 

Hard to imagine Corral not putting up similar numbers at Bama or OSU. 
 

The 2023 class will most certainly be deeper and have more of a selection, but Corral seriously has elite traits, 3rd round be damned, and him not succeeding will be between the ears rather than from a lack of ability.

It will be a beautiful day when his fans leave town with him.

Fair or not, if Fields doesn't have a pretty good year, Stroud will have to fight that OSU quarterback stigma.

I am convinced the reason why he barely played in the preseason last year was because they were hiding how bad he was.

I don't think it was that exactly. I think they didn't want other teams having film on the 4 plays that Sam could actually execute successfully. It did take the league 3 games after all for them to realize we kept running the same plays over and over again.
