The Athletic reports third-round rookie Matt Corral struggled before the snap in Panthers minicamp. 

"But it’s all the things Corral has to do before the snap – getting the play called, identifying the defense, making checks – that have challenged him after he played in an RPO-heavy offense in college," was the observation of longtime beat writer Joseph Person. Head coach Matt Rhule more or less confirmed that assessment by praising Corral's play once the play goes live. “(OC Ben McAdoo) says this: When the ball’s snapped, Matt’s natural instincts are usually pretty right on." Rhule has said Sam Darnold would be the starter were the season to begin today and has publicly refused to rule out an outside addition. Corral could change the calculus with a lights-out camp, but he does not appear to be a legitimate consideration for Week 1. 

This is, and was always going to be the problem with rookie QB's.

Unless you are a phenom and just really really understand the game coming out....you are likely going to struggle...especially if you are on a decent to bad team.  Just soooo much going on in front of you while preparing for the snap.

It is also one of the easier things for a defense to exploit. 

I have faith Corral will learn that aspect of being a QB in the NFL, if he is given the chance.  We've seen QBs in the league whose ability to learn to read defenses and movements pre-snap was questionable, but I don't think that is Corral.

He has one good thing going for him, that Sam doesn't...

At least per their words...his natural instincts are almost alway right...or whatever that was he said...

Sam is the opposite, it seems.  He can see it, but once the ball is moving, he starts having trouble and his instincts aren't very good.

I hope Corral is right about himself. 

Instincts are really somebody's mind processing a situation and react so quickly they don't even know they've done it.  That is true in football or anything.  It is often that they have been trained so well (either by someone else or themself) that their reaction seems automatic even to them.

Sam can sometimes make the right decision if he has a chance to apply conscious thought to it.........sometimes.  If he is thinking about not doing something stupid, he won't.  But when that thought leaves the picture, look out.  Having to consciously think about (or fight) anything as a QB is not an asset.

While I agree with you, now is the time to sit back and relax. Enjoy the calm before the storm. Views were shared and then team decisions were made.

I would enjoy a good ride into September before all the Panthers' offseason decisions show themselves as the best separate from the rest.

I gladly want to be wrong, because the Panthers once again did not go the way I wanted them to go. 2015 was the last offseason the Panthers remotely came close to what I targeted in the offseason. Packers, Chiefs, and Ravens front offices have been the teams closest to aligning with my offseason decisions over the past 5 seasons. Expecting the Jags to make a dramatic turn this season ala the Bengals.

I’m almost certain this year will be much better than last year. Overall the team is much more talented and hopefully we get CMC for at least most of the year. The o line improvements alone are worth a couple wins. Our secondary could be the top in the NFL. QB is the big question mark though.

We should not be throwing him to the wolves and stunting his growth forever just because some here want a higher draft pick next season.

Like it or not, that’s what Sam is for. If we’re gonna be stuck paying him 19 million bucks this year he damn well better earn it at least the first few weeks of the season. Of course adding a Mayfield or a Cam changes that equation, but as it stands now, we gotta roll with Sam for better or worse.

Just an FYI Corral is really struggling learning McAdoo's playbook and checks.... if he can pick it up he's got a chance.

It’s his first practices as a pro. Cut the kid some slack. Apparently he’s done a lot of good things as well.

Yep that’s all coachable and expected. His “instincts” they were raving about when he has the ball in his hands are much harder to come by,

No, I agree with you guys. I would start Corral, but this is the reason Rhule is freaking out begging Tepper and Fitterer for Baker.

If Matt Rhule and Fitterer were smart they'd get behind Matt Corral. If Rhule came out and proclaimed that with the drafting of Ickey and Corral the future was now the rebuild he dreamed of was complete, people could believe in that. If him and Ickey do good people will give you time to refine that. You bring in another reject and go 7-10, we're still in Jetsville the bottom not having prioritized developing perhaps our best investment to date.

I'm sorry to those I just can't agree with when it comes to letting Corral sit. I just don't think sitting does anything reps won't do better. If his game translates to the NFL you've got an Aaron Rodgers type of QB. Perfect QB for McAdoo. 

Out of all the football conferences in college the SEC has the top talent, no debating that. THAT'S who Matt Corral was beating, throwing on, running on. The biggest, the fastest.  Once he adjusts to the speed of the game he'll be equal to Mac Jones or better. To do that you must be in the game.

LET'S GO!

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
