I don’t think anyone here dislikes Corral. The two groups are people who want him to start right away and people who want him to sit first. If he is the answer I’d assume most people here will be happy!

I am not in the "start right away" camp (unless he earns it in TC).  I am in the "cut the fug out of sam darnold and give his reps to MC" camp.   I just at some point in this season want to see Corral get a few starts under his belt so we can at least see what we have.  If he is in over his head so be it, its not going to ruin him contrary to what folks think.  If he can play he can play.

Agree with this. I’m all aboard the Corral bandwagon, and I want him to get more reps in practice. However, if he’s not ready to start by week 1, I’d rather they give him some more time. Set him up for success. My hope is that he will be our long term answer at QB. This is the time of year to be optimistic!

It literally makes no sense.  Cut darnold, eat the contract and move on down the road.  Having him in the qb room and taking reps on the field is corky level retarded.  And people on here think Rhule is getting a bad rap.  But yet he pulls dumb ass poo like this

Nobody is just gonna eat 18M.

Not without exhausting resources to move him to a team that has an injury down the road. Everyone knows this is Baker's job.

I’m pretty much the same. Get rid of Sam and let Corral and Baker battle it out. I’d assume Baker would start the season and if he struggles or we are out of the playoff race start working Corral into the lineup.

I'd feed Corrals desire to scorch the open landscape of the NFCS.

I see he can do it all. I look at film I see a lion heart. I see Aaron Rodgers 3.0. 

I see the player. What have we seen from Matt Corral in this very short time?

Not willing to not be the starter. He told us that. I'm with him especially with the guys at the end of their NFL career ahead of him.

He's the Young Lion and he knows it. Super confident super capable, fast, accurate on the run accurate as heck on the fade, masterful even.

We've got our QB folks. If YOU can't see it you just may be Matt Rhule.

No team is going to trade for darnold that is just a pipe dream.  He is just wasting space on our roster 18 million or not

Would we not eat a portion of it to make him go away the way CLE did with Baker? We take on $8-10M of his contract in order to relieve us of $8-10M and remove him from our QB room?

Baker + 50% of Darnold's salary = ~ $20M for our QB1.

I'm not on anyone's band wagon until they load up the band and start playing. 

IDC if it's Corral or Mayfield. Whoever wins us games and plays well.

I am not including PJ or Darnold because I don't believe in unicorns or Santa Claus or whatever other fantasy you want to choose. Because both of those guys and REAL NFL success....that's a fantasy.

    • Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.
    • I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through  
    • I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
