Exactly, but he threw a ton of picks his sophomore year and has improved that each year and Im not really talking about picks. Im talking about his reads and missing open receivers. Also, adjusting to an NFL system will be somewhat of a struggle for him early. 

Nah, man. He's just beginning. He was damned good in college. He can't help the system that he played in. There is no evidence that he's a bad decision maker. Give him time to develop and some consistent time to actually create a body of work before criticizing him.

He's obviously got the fastest legs and quickest release on the athletic side. Lack of reps is the most concerning thing to me and thats on coaching. Probably won't change unless someone in front of him gets injured. That's how Brady and Herbert and Baker took over the starting roles previously, just glad he's obviously not getting complacent being 3rd/4th string

So what's the preseason plan in people minds? A quarter for each guy? It's weird because generally teams only play their starters serious minutes in the 3rd game but we're possibly looking at all 3 games being a competition at QB

My guess is a few starters won't play are all this presason: Horn, definitely CMC and maybe a few more. But I think Baker, Sam, PJ(I have no idea why Rhule has a hard on for this guy), and Corral will all get some playing time. I wouldn't be surprised if Mayfield and Darnold both play all 3 games. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Rhule announced Mayfield and Darnold sit out games 1 and 3 and only play maybe a quarter apiece in the 2nd game.

Yeah strange situation to be in. I think if Rhule had a boner for Corral like he did Chuba, we'd get to see the same amount of preseason reps. Chuba got like 80% of the snaps in those games last year it felt like. Rhule seems to like to force certain guys into success and not give others much of a chance

Best case is he looks so good that they are comfortable outright cutting the loser of the baker/darnold battle for starter and he’s set as backup during the year

When he wins a playoff game wake me up.  Dude hasn't seen a second of actual game time. 

If every player went from the bench to playoffs the world would be boring.  

I'd like to see him on the field.  I personally believe Corral is our future.   It will be enjoyable watching him grow which may include losing a some games.

If you only want to see him when we reach the playoffs you've probably missed seeing him grow.

Something about Corral already feels way different (better) than most QBs we’ve had come through here. I kinda see him having at the very least a Minshew-esque career eventually. Hopefully better than that and soon, but not ideal having his reps limited behind Sam...

    • Chances of a 5th rounder becoming a solid starter are below 10%. I don't really understand why people are butthurt over giving that up. Sure hate the pick, but the trade was fine.
    • He's going to be fun for interviews with his accent, love it! Will he be a good play?  Who knows.  It's up to Morgan and Canales to maximize his talent.  I understand picking up the 5th year option, especially looking at the WR contracts hitting $30 million a year. As fans, we can never know what a team is thinking.  We can only look at it like a fan.  Morgan said XL has the dawg in him.  We'll see if that's the right choice.  There's a lot more to the NFL draft than YouTube cut-up highlights.  The medicals, interviews, and coaching backgrounds go a long way to figuring this out. Couple of things.  This is the Jordan Palmer flag football game where NFL players (including Bryce Young and DJ Metcalf) play for charity.  Who was Bryce throwing it to?  DK.  Interesting.... Is this my crazy brain connecting the dots?  No.  I just think it's interesting to see.  Just interesting that Steve Smith Sr. said that XL reminded him of DK in a few ways...  Though it was hilarious seeing this giant human being play flag football with weekend warriors.   Will XL be a hit?  I don't know.  But it's going to be entertaining one way or another.  It's not my job to make the picks, thankfully.  The criticism is very valid after years of poor drafting.  We need to see the improvement on the field.
