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.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
