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

We're still waiting on Jordan Love to develop...

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.

They have all but given up on Sam.  Matt will get more reps as he earns them and now there is no hurry to get him on the field.  They would have rushed him out with Sam out there throwing picks.

You really think that?  If so see christenson, brady.

 

this staff is fuging clueless

They traded for a vet QB who is a proven starter because they know Sam isn't the guy.  Baker will start this season unless Corral can show he is ready.  It's McAdoo's new offense so Darnold has little to no advantage as far as the playbook is concerned.

I don't even know why we're talking about corral. Sam will likely be the backup. 

It's like we're forgetting who Matt Rhule is.

I will try to be positive here and say that it’s a win-win situation. Baker plays which will allow Corral to ease his way into the NFL. I believe Fitterer made comments along the lines of not wanting to thrust a rookie QB into playing right away.

So Baker ate 3.5 million to come here.  So much for not wanting Carolina.

We paid 5 mill and a conditional 2024 5th rounder.  He's an upgrade over Sam.  I guess we'll see how much.

Damn, that’s wild.  Not sure how much of it is “wanting to come here” vs “please get me the fug out of here” but either way it works out for us

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
