I thought he passed the eye test in the Louisville game to open the season but didn't watch him much after that. It's very easy to talk yourself into him. Hoping he's our version of Tony Romo or Dak or Brees. Rooting for him to succeed. 

I say if we're gonna bring hope into this then we should hope for better than Romo and Dak. Brees yes, then I'd also hope for Wilson and super hope for Montana.

I think what's nice is the fact that we have Fitt who saw Wilson in preseason and that team started him over...Flynn or whoever that GB backup they paid a bunch for. So if Corral has it, I think he is starting. Personally I think the guys got it. 

Was that Charlie Whitehurst? I mean he was from San Diego I think but wasn't there a big deal made about him going to Seattle or something?

Whitehurst was in Seattle, but he’s right that they gave Flynn a deal in free agency and he was the presumed starter before russell crushed it in training camp/preseason

I had a fringe first round grade on him and placed him as my QB2 in the draft, behind Malik Willis. I was ecstatic we got him in the third.

If he's good enough for @Verge to be happy about it, then I'm all in on the pick. They're almost never wrong.

Of course I hope he is amazing and does a great job for us and becomes a fantastic starting QB. But until I see him in an NFL offense playing against NFL defenses, he is an unproven rookie who fell to the third round and needs a lot of work. Still color me hopeful that he can come in and learn the NFL game and start for us.  If not he is still a good value in the third and worth the gamble.  If we keep.rolling the dice eventually we will find our guy. Hopefully it is Corral.

In a perfect world the kid snatches the job in training camp and off we go thus allowing us to spend our high draft pick on one of those beast defenders or a top wr.

 

Will Anderson on this defense gives me a chubby

Famous last words maybe we should avoid for now. I look forward to seeing more of Corral. Let him show us what he's got.

This sums it up nicely.  My hope is, at a minimum, he can prove that he is better than Darnold.   If he can show you that then you have a fairly cheap backup for a few years and keep swinging.

Yep. The draft really worked great. What if this is our year and the season went the same way. We are overdue to have some good luck for a change.

And he is on a 4 year really cheap contract. Finding a starter on a rookie contract is like hitting the lottery.  Backup or starter it is still a win if he plays.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
