Remember dum dums. Corral didn't slip for on the field deficiencies. Slip means you fell, he fell from where? First round projections. Not second round projections. Nobody, not even the pundits can question IF he can play. Not only CAN he play, he makes guys around him better.

He's the best QB on this team, who if you let play, by the end of the season you could possibly have the gem of the draft and maybe a OROY. Why take that opportunity away from Matt Corral?! He's not man enough to play QB at a high level like he did in the SEC?! C'mon. Bubble wrap? 

Matt Corral has a chip on his shoulder, he just wants some sugar in that contract because he KNOWS he will outperform his draft position.

If I were McAdoo I'd be coaching Matt to take the other two out. Like I've said, somebody probably doesn't want McAdoo to be the one to build a offense around and coach up a potential OROY at QB.

He'd either take his job or be on the next train smoking like Chud.

You really need to research their college stats before making a bold statement..

Compare

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/matt-corral-1.html

He might be a better pro.. Still needs to be proven..

But in college it's not even close..

 

Baker played in appreciably more games in a markedly less talented conference with higher skill-position players on a more consistent basis. Name me one player of note that Corral has played with for any consistent amount of time while in the toughest conference in CFB. Anyone of note left before he got his full-time gig.  Corral's years ('20 & '21) as the unquestioned QB1 were with guys who had oven mitts for hands. Moreover, I'm sure you forgot to press that little "rushing & receiving" tab. 

When you put things within context, the "not even close" becomes "not as far as I thought".  Give Corral eight more games in the most superior conference in CFB (and it's not even close), and the stats become somewhat similar from a total production standpoint. If he plays those in the Big 12, the stats are even more similar. 

Baker had it made at OSU basically. Corral was in the tougher spot and had a rougher path to the starting role (and ultimately the NFL), and I will submit to you that iron sharpens iron. 

Edit: And, BTW, I researched all this before I made my bold statement, as I knew someone would bring it up. In a more general sense, I've researched Corral more than most here I'd suspect, and I've been telling y'all that he's got it for months.

The ONLY thing I'm concerned about with Corral is his size. The size of his game is larger than you'd suspect for a QB of his size, but Mayfield is similarly built. Darnold is our only QB with prototypical size. But Corral will probably add a few pounds. This, along with smart play, will hopefully hold him in good stead.

Injury was a thing last year for all our current QBs except for Walker. Good thing we invested in the O-line.

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.

I am no sure what specific drugs you got into but Matt Corral doesn't have nearly the arm talent that Baker Mayfield does. Nor is he capable of making some of the throws Baker is.

Doesn't mean he might not prove to be a better NFL QB, given Baker's inconsistent play in his career. However, there is literally no question about the talent level disparity.

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

People keep saying this and the administration keeps saying this but if rhule and co poo the bed this year then they are out.  And you can be damn sure the new coach is going to want to draft his guy and not have to start out his tenure leaning on a 3rd round pick that hasnt seen the field.

Funny how folks on the Corral train have literally no NFL play to back them up yet he is already the best talent. He is the most physically talented yet he has no combine stats or pro day stats at all.  Truth is there is virtually no evidence that he is or was a better quarterback in college or he is more physically athletic than Mayfield who is a proven commodity.  I understand extreme fandom but this is ridiculous.  We all hope Corral is excellent but the jury is out. His college numbers look a lot like another college qb we drafted in the third round, Will Greer who threw for the same 8 thousand yards in 3 years first at Florida and then at West Virginia.

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.

Luckily you don’t have to long jump too often as a quarterback….. putting all your hopes and dreams into a 3rd round pick is an interesting move. But he went in the 3rd for a reason. If he were so talented and so physically gifted his draft stock would have reflected it.

Again, he supposedly fell in the draft for off field whatever.

Aaron Rodgers is 6'2" also. Almost prototypical but definitely taller than Baker.

Baker Mayfield is a failed QB. Who isn't better than a failure?

Baker a failed quarterback? I want what you are smoking. Baker took a terrible team and turned them into a playoff team in 3 years. In fact he is one of the best QBs to ever play for Cleveland.  The only failure here is your post.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      As expected. Still no reason not to bring in competition via FA or draft. Bryce can be our bridge QB until we find ourselves our franchise QB.

      I've been here since the forum started.    It's an X through Fitterer because I couldn't stand him.   Very troll like behavior.

      I agree with this, wholeheartedly. Bryce tantalizingly has his moments, even his games. This past Saturday was one of those. He really became the Mouse that Roared after the team fell behind and the o-line started collapsing. And, in truth, I think had the play calling been better at the end, he might well have brought us back into another lead change. Talk about a legendary moment just missed. I'm going to get lambasted for this but as a cautionary tale, I want to just say we're sitting at a spot that the San Diego Chargers were way back in the day. They had a short-ish QB on a rebuilding team that was underwhelming most games, but had some really good moments. They decided instead to take a gamble on drafting someone new and letting that QB, Drew Brees, go find someone more willing to let him develop. They turned around and had a draft debacle with Eli Manning/Phillip Rivers, ending up with Rivers in the end. We've got to remember that Brees wasn't who he would become at that time, it would take a coach willing to open up the offense and give the tough young kid a chance to grow. Rivers would become the poster child for the guy who almost was. Brees will get a gold jacket someday to go with the Saints only Superbowl win. Bryce probably isn't Brees, only one guy was and he barely got the chance to be him. Giving Bryce another season, maybe two, on squad gives us the luxury of testing the waters and the growth.  QBs early in their careers take time. We saw Rogers last night at the end of his career (maybe), sputtering out before he heads to the barn for his spot in the HoF and we have to remember him at his best, after sitting on the bench for three years. And we have to look at the other side of that coin last night, CJ Stroud, a draft classmate of Bryce's who soared out of the gates but who has come to earth since. He's still a good QB with a long runway ahead of him, but his performance under the big spotlight wasn't as strong as Bryce's on this particular weekend. I'm not 100 percent sure Bryce will be the guy. I'd like to see some more fire in the young man, some push, something that shows he can force his will on the other team's defense.  I am, however, seeing a kid that can make the throws, who can improvise and who amazingly can run braver and faster than I really thought he could. I think he needs time, he needs more confidence and he needs more brave coaching. If he doesn't get that here, I think he might find it elsewhere. And we'd find ourselves like the Spanos family, sitting on the couch in February asking Phillip Rivers to pass the chips during the Super Bowl commercial breaks year after year.
