MC9's skill set is greater than Baker's.

Corrall will get his shot next year UNLESS he comes out looking great in camp. Either way, his time is coming. 

Maybe.

Two scenarios where Corral might not get much of a shot.

If we draft an early 1st round QB, he's got to get some run sooner than later.

If we have a new regime, they might want "their" guy (trade/ FA / draft).

Yeah, I said it. And you remember that I said it!

Once Corral gets up to speed, whether it's 2022 or beyond, he'll do things that Baker or Darnold wish that they could do as far as throwing and running the rock.

I'm tired of the Huddle's general disrespect for "our QB of the future." 

It isn't disrespect it is lets wait and see how he plays. At this point he has taken 0 snaps un the NFL. How much respect do you think he deserves when he has done nothing yet.

He was drafted to be our QB of the future, and I think that he deserves to be spoken of as such, regardless of potential world beaters Mayfield or Darnold. Moreover, people are already talking about drafting QBs in 2023. To that, I say, "Whatever."

Corral may prove to be a better NFL QB but he doesn't have anywhere near Baker's physical talent. But Sam Darnold is proof positive that physical talent doesn't necessarily make for an NFL QB.

Corral can not only sling the ball

Corral can not only sling the ball, he can run circles around Mayfield. He's more physically gifted. I don't know why you guys are so comfortable proclaiming that Mayfield is the better physical talent. And you're acting like he isn't even in Mayfield's stratosphere. You're wrong!

 

Not only is he more athletic--Mayfield can't run out of a paper bag--he's just as strong.

And Corral will be given chances in training camp and the preseason to show what he can do. But until then he is a 3rd round value pick who we hope was a steal and potentially a franchise guy. But until then Baker Mayfield is a playoff winning quarterback who took a team that didn't win a game in 2017 and went 7-9 his rookie year. Obviously we were not willing to put the team into his hands hence the Mayfield trade.  If we draft another one next year you can assume they aren't yet satisfied.

Again based on college not the pros. Baker is proven Corrall is a hope.

I’ve heard this a couple times and am curious. In what way in Baker more physically talented than Corral? His arm might be stronger, but outside if that I don’t see him outclassing Corral in athletic ability. 
 

I know Baker did this…

Did you get a gander at my earlier post with Corral at the QB competition throwing 77 yards? Yeah, it wasn't a game, but still. 

I would bet that Mayfield can't test better than Corral in anything pertaining to athletic ability. The 40, long jump, vertical jump, lifts, anything. And I'm being dead serious.

Organizations are ALWAYS saved by mid-to-lower-round draft choices.

Yeah, place your Vegas money on that, brother!

I don't really see anybody dispespecting Corral so not sure where you are getting that from. To me it feels like most have optimism and want to see him develop into something. I agree with you and am very hopeful he can do things that the other QB's we have food only dream of. Seems like 99% of most fans on here want to see Corral successful and have been behind him in support or at least hope.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
