Yeah, because we usually win games that we are expected to win …

Nothing makes some of you people happy.  I hope y'all are not as miserable in your real lives as you are on here.

We were literally negotiating this trade at the time we drafted Corral.

You have an immediate starter on a one-year deal for minimal cash and a rookie who gets to sit back and learn.

Speaking as someone who cares neither for Baker Mayfield nor Matt Rhule, I can objectively say that's not a bad arrangement.

You obviously think Baker is going to be bad. That's the only way you can come to this conclusion

Not at all. If Baker balls out, we try to resign him. If he sucks, we've lost very little because Darnold already sucked. 

I think that in reality we're going to get something in between. Baker will be average, which will win us a few more games, make Darnold immediately obsolete (if he wasn't already), and means that we don't have to throw Corral to the wolves.

I really dont see a negative here.  I dont love Baker but hes fairly young and we are getting him cheap and for a conditional 5th rounder.  If he sucks he is for sure gone after this season and he gave our rookie qb who needs time, the time he needs.  The worst case scenario I guess if you're just looking for one its he plays great and then we have to decide what to do after this season, but if the worst case scenario is we have a 27 year old qb who plays great then I will take that worst case every time.

it's just because baker is a whiny crybaby coward and he also kinda sucks

Exactly, Corral has to battle PJ for the final spot. 

Good luck on beating one of his pets. 

Yeah...can't see that at all.

Pretty sure keeping PJ Walker over Matt Corral would be Matt Rhule's fast track ticket to the unemployment line.

I think the negative here is people hate Rhule so the best case for them is we lose every game, fire Rhule and draft a new QB and start the rebuild over again.

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2021-offensive-line-rankings

Finished 8th last year with multiple injuries.  Still a top 10, but most of it is run blocking grades.  

Preseason it was ranked #1 overall.  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-offensive-line-units-entering-2021-season

They dropped because of injury.  From your link: Cleveland’s starting five forms one of the best offensive lines in the game. 

I wonder what our line rank if both tackles went down.

Even with injuries two OL were probowlers last year: Bitonio and Teller.

Do you believe corral is better than next year's QB class?

So you're expecting Matt to be the backup? Because the starter the gets the lion's share of reps, the backup gets the rest and the third guy gets basically zero.

I think when it's all said and done he very well could be the back up.  I would imagine we will unload Sam if anyone will pay any portion of that damn salary.  Similar to what we did with Teddy.  Our staff isn't the brightest, but they really cut lose of a QB when they finally realize they aren't good enough.

I don't know that at all.

I'm not a fan of him, and I wasn't a fan of this trade, but I wouldn't guarantee he's going to be terrible.

Preseason rankings don't matter.  It's how they performed throughout the season.

      Who are the day 3 prospects you want to see us target?

      I can't wait for the QB! I'm almost more excited about the dozen udfa's we'll pick up than these draft picks so far

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette with Pick 32

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      It's more about which routes he can physically run well, he's not gonna shake anyone like a slot guy, he didn't have much success taking catches on sweeps in the backfield etc. Stopping on a dime for a comeback route, things like that. He'll be able to turn a guy around on go routes by faking an inside cut, straight up beating guys on slants and high crosses. Also some of the film he does cut back and he's just standing there waiting for the ball so there is some unknown about the qb quality, timing, QB under distress, etc. This is what happens when you try to evaluate a guy with only 1 year of starting reps with a mid QB and newish offensive system to the school he played for

      Panthers Select Jonathan Brooks RB with 46th Pick, Round 2

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I still think it makes more sense to keep him around this year anyways. Brooks tore his ACL in November, even if he's ready to go for the start of camp, I'd like to see him on a low snap count early in the season and be part of a rotation all year, no matter how good he ends up looking. We're not contending for the playoffs this year anyways, no need to risk putting too much of a workload on that knee before even the year mark of the injury. Let him get through his rookie season in one piece as part of a 3 headed committee and then take the reins off him in year 2 and give him 20 or more touches a game as a 3 down back.
