Why would we waste snaps from a preseason game on a QB we know pretty much for sure will not make the team. PJ is a good dude and he has the talent to be a backup somewhere else but just not with us right now. 

Also, if there is a good time to give Corral snaps, it's preseason. He won't drown, he'll welcome the challenge.

In no universe is MC playing an entire preseason game. No one is playing an entire preseason game at one position.  PJ is getting in at some point lol

Because you don't want to play your starters in a lot of preseason ball.  Preseason is largely about sorting out the bottom of the roster anyway.  The loss of a game hurts that. 

I didn't think 30% of the snaps was chump change in game 1.  Bump it to 40%.  But I don't want Matt Corral dominating the snaps yet.  I want to develop him.  He isn't getting much work in camp, throw him out there for 3 NFL quarters with limited gameplanning and it could go south quick.

I want to develop him too, and playing in the preseason is a really good way to do that.

Also, to be clear, it isn't the Panthers job or Matt Rhule's job to help PJ Walker find a new team, especially not when he could be put on the practice squad here if they want.

Making playing time decisions based on a desire to help a player land in a good spot is some Ron Rivera style bullsh-t.

playing our starters for over a quarter vs backups in preseason game 1 doesn't seem like the greatest idea. 

I have no issue w/ Rhule playing Sam and Baker w/ our 2s.  But I don't think that is his play when he does play those 2. 

is there a coach in the NFL that played their staters for the quarter last season in preseason game 1.    Rhule's QB competition is bogus to begin with.  In no way do I want to see our starters out there taking part in some fake competition all preseason.

Matt Corral is not the starter brother, he will be our 3rd QB on the depth chart, which is exactly the kind of player you put out there in preseason.

I said I thought PJ and Corral would get all the snaps.  Had Matt at almost 2 full quarters.  I don't think wanting 4 quarters of Matt Corral is really being that pro Corral.  That's not good development.  Give him hardly no reps in camp and then have him go play a NFL game for 3 quarters out the gate?  Who does that to a 3rd round rookie.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
