I haven't watched the game yet (I was not staying up until 2am yesterday to watch it, but it is on the Tivo).  Corral didn't light it up.  Since he has a small number or practice reps and was playing with guys who will be working in their backup careers in another month, I am left thinking "what did we think was going to happen?"

As far as PJ, he's 27.  For a young QB, if you get to year 4 or 5 and are the bottom of the depth chart, you are going to be replaced by a rookie.  That's life in the NFL, and it applies to more than just QBs. 

Maybe somebody will give him a spin, but I doubt it.  His only chance is that they decide to cut Darnold, which is not out of the question.  I don't think anybody is going to trade for him, either, but you never know.  What I do know is if somebody does trade for him, they are going to want us to eat 80-90% of his contract, so we are paying for him whether he is on the roster, on somebody else's roster, or laying on the beach.

We pay most of Darnold's contract and Cleveland is paying most of Mayfield's. It's sort of a wash. I just don't see any team who would want to trade for Sam Darnold, even if we picked up the same amount of money Cleveland did on Baker's deal.

I agree with you.  I think we wind up paying about $3.5M extra but wound up with Mayfield.  My guess is the final depth chart is Mayfield, Darnold, and Corral, but with Rhule, who knows?

I think we entered the draft with two QBs on the roster, neither of whom would be on any other roster.  We now have four on the roster, but that does not change the status of the original two.

Howell had all day to throw. Corral literally had no pocket for 3/4 of his snaps. Like, ball is snapped, hits his hands, two DL or a DL and a LB are in his face and he's spinning out of trouble.

Oh no doubt. I think that if Corral had come in when PJ did, he'd have looked a lot better; poor bastard never had a chance. And I still think Corral has the highest ceiling of the 2. 

BUT, Howell looked good Saturday.

Washington is only carrying 3 QBs at the moment (Wentz, Heinke, Howell). I imagine Howell has gotten significantly more training camp reps than Matt Corral.

Sure he did. Give any QB time in camp and a clean pocket, and there's reason to expect some good plays. When you give a guy no practice in camp, no pass protection in-game and he's got to dodge a defensive end and a blitzing linebacker within one second of a snap, well, not even Sam Howell or Tom Brady will look good in that case.

When you consider all that Rhule has done for PJ Walker over the years, I wouldn't rule out the idea that he's intentionally sabotaging Corral to build up his case to cut him and keep Walker. Not saying it's what's happening, just saying there's unquestionably a possibility.

If that were to happen, Fits needs to let Tepper know it is time to cut Rhule. 

The scary thing is that while I don't think it is what is happening, the fact that it is a possibility is a problem.

told you so agree GIF by Bounce

Matt Rhule coddled Baker all the way through this "competition" and Sam is still steady kicking his ass. No Baker Bros, he hasn't looked better than Sam and for those of us who thought that Baker was a stupid move and wanted chaos in return?! Go Sam go! They're dumb as rocks.

Lol Baker has absolutely looked better. Don’t be all pissy because your little lion cub had a bad outing. He will be fine in the long run. Keep these good takes up though and no one is going to take you seriously….

      Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
