How much playing time will Matt Corral get on Saturday?

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

[Jon Snow]

None if he doesn't get the practice reps.

[Jackie Lee]

Rhule pretty much said the starters won't play much in week 2 because of the joint practice reps. I'm guessing a couple series for Baker/Sam and then pretty even split for Corral and PJ the rest of the way

Corral and PJ are taking all the reps tmrw. Day off for the 1's and 2's

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.

We will see a ton of MC in the preseason games. After that, we will not see him again until next camp. The only way that changes is if the season goes completely off the rails and they give him the last month of the season.

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.   

 

[Fright]

A half for him and a half for PJ.

[Wolfcop]

Yeah, starters don't play like they used to - 3 quarters in the 3rd game for example.

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.

[gofightwin]

Based on media reports of his snaps...about half of the fourth quarter.

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.  

[t96]

I hope at least a half, but it'll probably be 1 quarter for each QB... Baker, Sam, PJ then Corral gets mop up duties in the 4th against scrubs.
