Wasted a 3rd on Corral. This FO continues to make strange moves. 

Not really. Think about it. There’s no guarantee Baker will be resigned here when he hits FA, and clearly the coaching staff doesn’t want to rush Corral’s development by starting him before he’s ready. Bring in a young, solid QB to start and let Corral backup for a season. Only giving up a conditional 5th and $5M is icing on the cake.

That's short term thinking.

So after this year, you either have to extend Baker for starting QB money, or you have to go into 2023 with Corral as essentially a rookie after getting very few reps in 2022. 

Again, we just keep creating headaches for ourselves and pissing away draft capital.

NFLN reporting a QB competition, so this isn't happening. If Darnold was going to the Browns, he would have been part of the trade.

With both Darnold and Baker in camp, there will be very few reps for Matt to develop.

I think once Baker clearly beats Darnold then Matt and Darnold will probably get equal reps if not Matt getting more.  This is a season to groom Matt and let him learn the playbook and the vocabulary and go through mental reps and if he continues to improve and develop their hope is for him to step into the starting qb spot next season.  Thats my take anyways.

Yea that's honestly what I'm most concerned about.  It's the opportunity cost of playing Mayfield for a season, and perhaps not seeing what we have in Corral at all.

We can just throw him out there the last 2 games behind a busted OL and then cut him a couple years later when he looks better than PJ in the preseason.

 

It’s what we did to our last 3rd round QB.

Corral is 3rd round QB... lol at all of you thinking he was gonna start this year. Furthermore sitting him for a year wont hurt him.  And yes they will see plenty of him IN PRACTICE.  Which is perfect.  Throwing a mid round talent right into the fire is a great way to ruin a prospect.

 

 

Care to give an example of a third rounder that sat and developed?  Cousins is the only one that comes to mind and that was a long time ago.  However I can think of Dak, Russell and Carr that were drafted in the 2nd or 3rd and could come in and play right off the bat.  If they can play they can play, sitting a qb is a strategy from yesteryear

Then he starts. Cut Darnold or trade if possible and let Baker and Corral shoot it out. 

People are forgetting the fact that Matt said himself hes got to get the mental aspect of it all down before he even feels ready himself.  Everyone keeps wanting to throw him out there anyways expecting miracles.   Fans need to be patient and let him learn.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
